I'm curious- the folks who say then unequivocally love the rain- have you ever spent an entire day working in pouring down rain?

Yea. The rain found its place in my realm of "Things to be grateful for." I like it! But, as with anything else, in moderation.

I absolutely love the rain. I've never had to perform a full day's work in it yet, just a few hours, so we'll see how I'd feel about it then. It's incredibly soothing, though; one of my favorite rainfalls was when a friend and I were visiting a Renaissance fair. It was muddy and wet and I ended up having to pretty much power wash my shoes afterwards, but it felt right. 12th century England looks best when wet and muddy. Also, hot mulled mead never tastes quite so good.
We had a summer a few years ago in eastern Kansas where it rained literally every day for two weeks straight. Every one else was absolutely tired of it, but I was never not excited when it would start falling again.

I've sat through several hurricanes in my life so bad weather (short of like tornadoes) doesn't really scare me or anything. One of the last "major" hurricanes to come through here I was sitting outside on the front porch of my friend's apartment while it was rolling through. Watching the light show from all the power lines and transformers arcing up.
The worst part about hurricanes is we're usually pretty much guaranteed power is going to be off for a week and having to live off of bullshit.
Excellent shroomy, I feel the same way. By contrast it just shows the ruthless power of the world, in its own beautiful way, why not pull up a chair on the veranda? 
I love the bitchy side of nature.
I went on a deep sea charter fishing trip once with a friend, and the waters got really rough on the way back home. He started puking, I went up on the ladder and hung off it to enjoy the ridiculous waves.. Every time we reached the bottom of the wave, there was a huge amount of water coming over the bow. I basically became Lt. Dan or Captain Barbossa from POTC demanding more.
That was actually one of the times in my life I enjoyed myself the most. I absolutely loved it. I'd fit right in with some insane pirate captain.

Yes, and worse.
Once you're wet, you're wet. Try working in sleet on the coast where the wind is just hammering you constantly with absolutely no way to break the wind or get warm, for up to 12 hours at a time. Honestly surprised I never walked away with frost bite.

One summer I started working this job where I had to go door-to-door and raise money for mental health research. It was raining SO MUCH but our supervisor still made us work. I didn't have a rain jacket or anything. After about an hour I just quit.

Part of me wants to believe that's a great time to raise funds; you're soaking wet, pathetic-looking, people will take pity on you, etc.
My time as a car valet suggests otherwise.

They're like 10 bucks. Not that a door to door sales job is worth investing that kinda money in, but still. If you have to work outdoors, get one. They come with a pair of pants and a hooded jacket. I used mine mostly to protect my "work uniform" from all the oil and shit when working on refinery equipment.

I think people actually get more annoyed by door-to-door salespeople when the weather is super shitty because they just want to shut their door and stay inside.
Raising money door-to-door is literally the shittiest job I've ever had.

I love the rain. It makes my life a little more difficult in terms of hair, but it's so worth it. I do like the sun, but I prefer rainy green environments over all else.

ditto. I grew up working on horse farms, I was up at 5am to muck stalls and ride for 8-9 hours a day on the weekends, rain, shine, and snow.
Hate the bitter cold except for a few occasional moments. Love the rain, don't care for the memories I have of trudging knee deep through mud trying to catch 3 horses to bring in during thunderstorms and stuff like that, but ultimately I'm fine with it all.

Tropic rain is different than upstate rain. The tropical rain makes unberable humidity thats not my fancy.
