Things That Exist But Shouldn't - Part 20

20) Sideways Rain

It's raining, it's pouring
I'm soaking wet and really, really cold. 

Anyone in the tri-state area yesterday experienced the horrid downpour of nonstop rain. It didn't just fall straight down. It fell sideways, forwards, backwards. At one point I was convinced it was coming up from the ground.

Nathan W. Pyle drew it perfectly.

In just two short blocks of walking, my brother and I were drenched from every angle.  

I love a rainy day from inside my warm (dry) bed. I can usually handle walking in the rain, provided I can predict what angle the rain is coming from. When it falls sideways, though, it's just too much to handle.

Sideways snow, however, is beautiful. It's kind of like walking inside of a snow globe.
