The most awkward hay fever moments: From sneezing through job interviews to uncontrollable weeping
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Anyone who has hay fever will know all too well that the struggle is real come April and May.
While most people look forward to lunches on the grass, drinks in beautiful pub gardens and picnics on Hampstead Heath, those of us without our antihistamines will be spluttering and streaming miserably in a corner.
And we've all got our stories - whether those involve streaming tears down our faces during a country walk or sneezing at the worst possible moment, we're not alone.
Thankfully, these mortifyingly awkward hay fever moments make hilarious anecdotes. So if you want to be comforted by other people's misfortune (and let's be honest, who doesn't?) Watch the video above for some of the most awkward hay fever moments.

A single dose of Pirinase Hayfever Relief For Adults 0.05% Nasal Spray in each nostril once a day could help relieve sneezing, a runny nose, nasal congestion, and itchy and watery eyes.
