On my latest occasions where I got into very heavy rain and became all soaked, the situation really is unpleasant, but you can still take it with light humor, thinking to yourself “haha, that sucks”, similar perhaps to how you would laugh at the pain in an “who can eat the hottest pepper” challenge between friends. Or thinking “yes it sucks, but it isn’t actually that bad”.
Agreed, that’s one of the exceptions I was thinking of—if you’re getting soaked and have no way to get into dry clothes anytime soon, there’s little way around finding that rather unpleasant. But I’d say 95% of my rain encounters are way less severe than that, and in these cases, my (previous) attitude towards the rain really was the main issue about the whole situation.
