Do you use an umbrella?

[lovemachine]

With all the rain we've been getting the last week. And all the rain we're gonna get this week. I was wondering, who uses an umbrella? Who doesn't use an umbrella?

 

[JDonhardt]

I dont. Sometimes I'll go with a hat of some sort, but thats about it.

Also, the Mythbusters proved that running through the rain gets you wetter than walking through it. Just thought I'd add that.

I think about this a lot; my mother and father were blue collar workers, we NEVER had an umbrella - never used them.

Now I have 2, one in the truck - one in the office, use them all of the time. My sister made the comment " get the umbrella, don't want to ruin your fancy shoes " :mad:

Only if I'm in the bleachers for an hour or so.
If it's way longer...then a poncho.
If it's just a sprint from vehicle to building...nothing.

 

[tyler34]

no, I have about as much $$$ tied up in waterproof garments as I do in guns so I have no need for an umbrella.

I marked no since that is the answer the majority of the time for me. However, I do have one at home, one in the car, etc., and will use them if I am outside for a while.

I use an umbrella. I also zip up my coat and wear earmuffs when it's cold outside. I learned a LONG time ago that I'd much rather be comfortable than worry about whether I look dorky or not.

Let me know next time your planning on sprinting I want to be there

 

[King Matthew]

I have one in all my vehicles, never think to grab them till i'm already soaked.

Dude...my sprinting at 40something is NOT all it's cracked up to be.
It may look a bit like an epileptic fit with a side of Turrets.
Just sayin'.

Why miss a perfect opportunity to carry another potential weapon (i.e. a tactical umbrella)?

I love in the video where he chops the watermelon in half and then beats the daylights out of a bag with it.

The only Umbrella any of you will ever need.

 

[Suprtek]

I voted no but not because I'd rather be wet. My job requires me to go back and forth to my vehicle often and I'm usually carrying stuff so wearing a hat is just a lot easier for me.

 

[RachelMarie]

No. Never. My hair is already jacked up by the moisture if it's raining...no need to worry about it! Callie on the other hand uses an umbrella and it's ADORABLE.

It took me a few years to mature to the point of appreciating the marvel that is called "umbrella" as well. I guess it's the only "good thing" I have to say about golf.

I was a young guy with wet hair, wet cloths, wet feet, head down plodding every time it rained with glasses I could barely see through. But I was stylish, way too cool for an umbrella.

Then a few guys I worked with showed up from lunch with brand new "Allison" umbrellas. WTF do you want with those? I soon learned there was quite a deal on those golf umbrellas at the company store and I thought why not.

It was like the clouds parted and His light shown down on my dry head, dry shirt, my feet warm and cozy despite the cold wet misery of all around me. I was a changed person, a smarter, wiser man. I had left childhood behind and childish things like wet stringy hair in my face were in the past as I became a man and gained sense enough to come in out of the rain.

most of the times no. The only time is if I have to walk for a distance.
