I'm not sure who writes the laws around here, but they clearly don't spend a ton of time outside in July.

If they did, a few things around here would become illegal immediately.

THINGS THAT SHOULD BE ILLEGAL IN LUBBOCK DURING THE SUMMER

They looked great when you bought the car last winter, now they're just branding irons with cupholders, and nobody wants to ride to lunch with you anymore.

Asking Someone For Help Moving

Straight to jail.

I'm close to saying "nope" to clothes, period.

Saying, "It's a dry heat."

Shut up. Nobody cares.

I swear, summer months are the only months you really need a significant other, just so you don't have to brave the sun and take out the trash yourself. It should be straight-up illegal to have to walk to the dumpster. Not doing it.

It's Hot, Y'all...

Of course, there are plenty of other things that should be hella illegal right now. I'm sure you can come up with a few of our own. Drop them in a comment below this article wherever you come across it, and then keep scrolling for more fun in the galleries below!
