Yeah, it's hot-and you're making me crabby.

"It's not the heat, it's the humidity."

Kevin works outside for 12+ hours a day.  He comes home soaked in sweat.

"Is it hot enough for ya?"

I drive home in a car with no a/c.

"What's with this heat?"

My parents, in their 60's, live with no a/c in their home.

"Good LORD, it's HOT!"

Yeah, it's hot, I've got it.  I am hot, too.

"Did you hear about the heat advisory?"

No shit, Sherlock.  It's August in Missouri.

"Take care of the elderly and your pets."

Nope.  I thought I'd let them fry in the sun...thanks, though.

DUH PEOPLE!  It's hot.  I've got it.  I don't need your cliche's or your constant small talk about the heat.  We do this dance every summer.  It's hot, and we'll survive.  In January, you all will be making stupid small talk about the icy roads and the snow drifts in your driveway.  Let's all carry on, and get through this heat wave and get on with life.  We'll be fine.  100 years ago, you'd be working in a field in long sleeves, coming home to cook without a microwave with no a/c to be found.  Deal with it.
