Umbrellas

marco:

An umbrella doesn’t really help most of the time. You have to remember to bring it with you, but any umbrella with reasonable coverage is too large to carry conveniently. If it’s not raining perfectly straight down, or if you’re walking, or if the ground is already very wet, or if anyone else with an umbrella is nearby, your bottom half is going to get wet anyway. Then you have to continue carrying this wet umbrella throughout your day, trying to find a place to put it where it can harmlessly drip, until you forget to bring it home and have to buy another umbrella.

I don’t think I’ve ever owned an umbrella. I hardly think getting sprinkled on is a big deal, and carrying an umbrella around is such a hassle, especially if you don’t have a car.
