Why can't "being too hot" work as a legit excuse for using PTO?

Also, why do I even have to tell you what I'm using my PTO for? In fact, if the temperature is over 100 degrees Fahrenheit outside, then you should not be asking us to come to the office. I know you have great AC over there, but the commute might actually end me. Plus, the shock to my system going from the flaming heatwave of the city to the ice box that is an energy guzzler is insane, and honestly, disrespectful to ask of me. So, NO, I AM NOT COMING IN, IT'S TOO HOT OUT. I'm surprised we're not all melting on the concert already. Somebody throw me into a creek to cool down. Only then will I maybe be able to have your email find me. (Probably not… HOPEFULLY not.)

What is it about the hot weather that makes us all want to throw firsts with the first tiny inconvenience? It's so hard to keep things professional at work when my armpits have sweat rings as large as the Strawberry Full moon this week. Can I make moon water and manifest on these pits? No! I'm too sweaty for work and too hot to have my brain functioning properly.

Heck, June isn't even the hottest month of the summer! Let's get to memeing about it ASAP and cool down.
