A condition that occurs around the first sunny week of spring in seattle after 5-6 months of darkness and rain. This syndrome forces a person to be burdened with guilt and shame if they do not spend every waking hour outside when the sun is also out and the weather is “nice.” The condition may last through summer, but is typically most intense during late spring.
I think I have Seattle Sun Guilt Syndrome (SSGS); I tried to watch a TV episode tonight, but the sun was still out and I felt horrible, so instead I just laid on my couch staring at a blank TV paralyzed by the shame I have developed from this horrible syndrome, i should be hiking but instead I am a failure to the Pacific Northwest.
