Hi, my name is Christina and I'm calling you from the Florida Keys and I'm wondering why does the wind make me angry?

Wind makes me so mad and I don't know why. Thanks, bye.

Hello. Hey, Christina. It's Laura from ELT. Hi.

So let's dive in here. Talk to me about your problem. Well, the wind makes me just bitchy.

The fuse seems short on windy days. And the windier it is, the worse it gets. Around like 15 miles per hour, it's like the feeling when like you haven't had your coffee yet.

So you're just a little bit grumpy, a little bit on edge. And then if the wind is stronger, that's where it gets hostile. It's like the feeling you get when you got like a passive aggressive note on your desk.

Where you're like, what the hell is this? Is it something that people like, oh, you're not reacting very well to this? Is it because of the wind?

Oh, yeah, my co-workers will do that. They'll like look out the window behind me and they'll see like, is she really mad or is it a gusty day?

Does it run in your family? Do you have family members who share this aversion?

No, both of my parents have convertibles. They're wind enthusiasts. Really? Isn't that weird? Like they love the wind in their face feeling.

So weird. I feel like maybe one convertible in the family, you're like, okay, but two, they're wind lovers. Must have been a recessive gene.

I hear that. There's a conversation I need to have with my mom.

Give me an example of a typical time when the wind might annoy you.

So being in the Florida Keys, I have to go over a bridge anytime I need to go anywhere.

So when the wind pushes my car a little bit and you can feel it tug on the steering wheel, that makes me so mad.

Okay. And because I live somewhere warm, I love to wear lots of floral dresses and skirts that the wind loves to catch.

And I get so mad when the wind will blow up my dress. It's like Marilyn Monroe standing on top of the grate, but it's less cute when it happens to me.

That's you, but you're not smiling. You're cursing.

Yeah.

Can you do things to help yourself? Like if you're wearing a windbreaker, is it suddenly better?

I've never tried being out in the wind in like a full face like helmet or anything, like a motorcycle helmet, but I wonder where the wind has to touch me to make me angry.
