Winter.
It gets cold here, well relatively speaking. It snows here. But it is not cold enough for it to stick. So you get this nasty slush.
Nobody knows how to drive in winter weather here. But at least they salt every road in the city at the slightest hint of a cloud in the sky. The rednecks with their giant ass bigfoot trucks all call in on snow days saying they can't get out of their driveway. Really? REALLY? With your truck lifted 16 inches and knobby ass tires, winch and snorkel you can't get out of your little suburbia driveway? Some of my other technicians made it in with their little 2wd Kias and Hondas, on time.
Speaking of salt. I don't like road salt. When it mixes with the slush on the side of the road piled up on the sidewalks it stains/ruins your shoes and even pants when the slush is deep.
Presents, christmas morning, gift giving in general etc. Growing up my parents would never get me what I wanted. At best my requests would be a 30 dollar SNES game or a 50 dollar Lego kit. The would ask me exactly which ones I wanted actually. And if it was too much money they would outright say no early on. But come christmas morning I'm freaking out opening presents trying to find the cool ****. But all I ever find are socks, underwear, pajama pants, pillow cases. Then I'll get one of the 5 dollar lego kits with 15 pieces. 18 years of similar experiences has left me bitter about their gift buying abilities.
Seriously, that first day back at school after winter break sucks. All the kids are "aw yea my dad got me a robot dinosaur that shoots lasers and poops land mines!" I'm "I got a lego kit with 1 figure and a Creed cd and these socks I'm wearing."
HA HA /nelson
Another gift giving fail. My dad has been playing guitar for 30 some years. When I ask for basic music equipment for bass, you know stuff he is familiar with, he still manages to get the wrong things. I'll be like "yea I could use a new strap for my birthday." He ends up getting me a one spot power supply instead. That happened two weeks after I purchased his old voodoo pedal power equipped pedal board.

Winter storm warnings interfering with grocery shopping. News calls for harsh winter weather. Everybody within a 100 mile radius goes to buy all the milk, water, eggs and bread in the groc store. I show up to the store on the way home from work "oh man I need more lunch meat and sandwich bread" NOPE LOL
The sun setting at 6pm and rising at like...some ridiculously early hour. Hurts my sleep schedule.
Can't just relax on my back porch 'cause it's too cold.
Dog won't go pee outside 'cause it's too cold.
Tried to make this entertaining.
What time of year do you find the most depressing ?
