The Middle Ages must have sucked and been damn boring.
Outside of the clothing and armor worn, which I think was kind of neat, what a crappy time to live. No TV, no plumbing, no automobiles, no computers or cell phones, telephony or electricity.
Outside of the lack of technology, customs were very strict and the politics were messed up. People would get executed for stupid things and you didn't have much freedom. No healthcare, insurance or any safety nets to rely on during hard financial times.
What a *beep* time to be alive in Europe.
