Umbrella Users Are You Still out There?
Ask a Question
Do any of you still use an umbrella or do you just brave the weather? My mum is a frequent brolly user but I always find they blow me everywhere or hinder me when walking and then when I take it down to go indoors I usually hit get just as wet wrestling with it. Not to mention I forget it or lose it. What do you guys do when its cats and dogs and you need to be out and about?
I've not used a brolly for years.
If it's pouring, I'll try to delay whatever it is I need to go out for.
If I have to go out, I put on a waterproof coat, pull the hood up, and mutter to myself as I get wet.
blacklabrador ahhh the rain-mutter dance I do this on a frequent basis glad Im not alone 
I dont mind using them, but I often find that I only take them with me if it actually rains. If it doesn’t, I’ll just brave it with my coat or jacket
I prefer wearing a rain jacket, as it also leaves both arms free. Plus, on busy city streets they can impede other pedestrians or even be dangerous in distracted or selfish hands 
ACR wish more people were like you, see so many people not caring whose eyes they maim or who they bash
Only on special occasions. I live in Scotland, usually if it's raining it's windy too so you spend more time fighting it.
Live in Wales and it rains 70 percent of year I have no choice that need to go out in it because kids got to get to school and I walk then there and back umbrellas are pointless they blow inside out all time yes a lot of people will avoid going out in it but get a grip they won't to your skin is waterproof there are people out there who live and sleep in this weather
I always keep one in the door of my car but very rarely use one. It's so much easier to wear a hooded coat an keep my head down. (then there's the looking after it, sopping, when you go into buildings) I think there are too many cheap brollies available that have no strength. There's only one thing worse than getting drenched and that's battling with a flimsy umbrella and still getting wet. 
Not used or had one for years as alway leave it wher ever I go so don't bother now
Lots of the times they can not be use, because the wind is way too strong.. Also when u push a buggy... U can not hold the umbrella
Only if it's really bad rain with not a lot of wind. I tend to mostly just use a hooded coat.
Lol we have lots in the house. Think I’ve possibly used mine once this year to watch my 6 year old do a fun run in the wind and rain.
I took a big golf umbrella to watch my son play rugby last week and i had to abondon it after a few minutes because the wind was going to rip it to shreds (it werent a cheap one either).
