If you did that right, then protective oil from your greasy mail haubergon would tend to stain you and your clothes.

Rust was a constant threat to iron or steel armor in the days before stainless steel, so it had to be regularly polished. Meanwhile, metal parts would become uncomfortably hot or cold to the touch depending on whether you were under scorching sun or in freezing temperatures. It could get very hot and sweaty, especially when incorporating a helmet and/or significant padding. The weight would tax one's endurance and make one's neck and shoulders hurt after a long day. It could be noisy, what with the clattering of plates and jingling of mail. It took time (and in many cases, assistance) to don and remove, and one's range of motion would be restricted to some degree depending on the exact construction. In Real Life, while historical armor was not as unreasonably heavy or inflexible as in popular myth, wearing it for extended periods was far from comfortable. Some RPGs downplay this by having a character in just a breastplate, possibly with shoulder pauldrons and some other odd pieces.

Often characters even sleep in full battle gear. This is notoriously common in RPGs, with characters wearing the same armor continuously for weeks. In fiction, armor is often presented as a piece of everyday attire to be worn wherever you go, like a sweater.
