Umbrellas: Yay or Nay?

[SkortBrun]

Last night I went to my favorite bar (which is getting crowded since another local bar closed, but that's another topic) and I took an umbrella because I was walking and it was kind of rainy out. When I arrived my friend proceeded to call umbrellas "lame" and made fun of me for using one (all in good fun, of course). So what do my fellow TBYers think? Are you pro-umbrella or anti-umbrella?

[hildegoat]

I'm anti-umbrella. I like the rain and I don't even run when I'm outside and it's raining.

[Faded Rose]

I use an umbrella and so does hubbie. I hate getting my hands and face wet.

[Quincy]

I'm neither OMG! Love nor OMG! Hate. It's a fucking umbrella.

[Sydneyfan]

In general I am a supporter of umbrellas. However, I usually lose them or forget to bring them with me.

Did an an umbrella hurt your feelings once or something?

It ran off with the overcoat.

It ran off with the overcoat.

What a bitch.

[Quincy]

What a bitch.

It was non-gender specific

[blueone]

I've never used one.

[Sydneyfan]

It was non-gender specific

Oh.

[Quincy]

At least you've never been used by one

[Sydneyfan]

I've never used one.

I think women use umbrellas more often than men. I'm not sure why though.

You could start a blog.

I don't have enough time on my hands.

Well, wet weather just got sexy.

[Quincy]

Freud isn't sexy

[ewok.online]

But he loved coke.

[Jacoby]

Not an umbrella person, but i hate light drizzle, the stuff that gets you soaked slowly and then is freezing afterwards. Give me a hard rainshower anyday and I will be happy!

[ferris wheel junkie]

it depends on how much effort i put into my hair. and weather or not i'm wearing wool. wet wool is not sexy.
cotton is ok.

[Jacoby]

Wet wool is way uncomfortable. Wet wool is not win.

[Quincy]

Wet White Cotton, ftw!

[ewok.online]

Word.

[Jacoby]

Rain = WIN!

I actually hate umbrellas and will avoid them if it's raining lightly, but I approve of them.
We've had too many rainy days in Sydney the past few months :\

[gweeps]

I hate getting my hands and face wet.
I bet hubbie hates this.

Same here, dop. I only use them when it's really pouring out and they usually manage to be annoying somehow anyway. Plus if it's raining hard I find I end up getting wet anyway just trying to get it closed fast enough to get through the door. blah.

[Jacoby]

Great point foggy, why do people close them before going inside anyways? Seems a bit pointless, because you always get wet.

[burgerqueen]

I'm anti-umbrella. I like the rain and I don't even run when I'm outside and it's raining.

I've never really understood why people run through the rain. It seems to me they're still going to get just as wet if not more so. Yes, you get through it quicker but it still seems as if you're running through the same amount of it.

As for the umbrella thing, I didn't vote. I don't hate them or love them. I never use them just because I hate carrying extra things around.

[clewis]

Pro.

Plus if the rain stops, you got a wicked cane.

Also, if it's raining really hard, having an umbrella is absolutley useless.
That's when you should take off your shoes and jump in every puddle you see. I did that recently and probably looked like an idiot, but it was so much fun :D

I would say it's because of the hair.

[FrigidRoses]

I bet hubbie hates this.

:lol

[maddiehope]

I don't like using an umbrella if I'm driving, though because it's just so awkward and annoying trying to get back into the car with a wet umbrella

if I were walking though, I'm pro umbrella (unless I'm hiking)

[Blindtiger]

I bet hubbie hates this.

All I can say to that is... :lol:lol:lol:lol


I'm neither OMG! Love nor OMG! Hate. It's a fucking umbrella.

OMG! I agree with Quincy!! :lol

Generally I do not like umbrellas very much. There's always the thing of what to do with it when you arrive wherever you're going. Like: "Geez, now I have this big wet thing I've got to stick in my car or drag in the store/office, whatever." :rolleyes

Also if I see a guy with one I automatically deduct 10 manly points. :downyours

[Blindtiger]

Oh yeah, and thanks for another exciting TBY Poll! :banana

:lol I have to show this to Lee later. He likes them & always gives me a hard time for not wanting to use them.

Isn't that better than a big wet body and dripping hair when you arrive at your destination. The other alternative of course it to never go out when it rains - I live in the wettest city in the UK - could be a problem.

What's wrong with a rain jacket? And I don't have a problem with my man having a big wet body and dripping hair. In fact that sounds really sexy to me. ;)

Ok, I see your point here. I suppose if I lived in the wettest city around, I could possibly feel a little different. It doesn't rain THAT much around here.

[SkortBrun]

I'm about to walk to town in the rain WITH MY UMBRELLA and if you anti-umbrella people don't like it, you can go to hell. ;)

Oh, the controversy you have aroused! :woundme
