Things that are a Good Idea in Theory but Rough in Reality

Showering together - the seeing, touching, and removing of grotty unknown organic substances from the body of the other person, slipping and falling, arguments over water temperatures, agonizing, blinding eye infections, especially if wearing contact lenses.

Outdoor Summer concerts - sounds like a lot of fun. But you must endure high temps in uncomfortable conditions, heat, dehydration, crowding, long waits, physical discomfort. 

Driving in a beautiful open convertible car - noise, weather, including, extreme heat, sun exposure, losing a hat, open to intruders, costly repairs to mechanism and fabric of the top, limtted trunk space.

Romantic walk on the beach, at sunset, holding hands - get a sticky fish smell. Drip with sweat. Be forced to change clothing and to take a shower. Get bitten all over by tiny insects that penetrate clothing. Biting midges (family Ceratopogonidae). These pests are notorious in coastal areas, especially around sunrise and sunset.
