I hate umbrellas

[xt1me]

I've always considered myself as being at an averaged height, maybe a little on the tall side, if only because I’m an average height for my family and there’s a few tall people in my family. What this means is that I'm at the perfect height to be hit in the eye by an umbrella spoke.

 

I hate umbrellas.

 

They’re pointless really. When it rains all an umbrella does is keep some of the rain off your head. I stay just as dry with my cap pulled down and my hood up. An umbrella just gets in the way. And since you holding the umbrella you have one less hand available for other things. And then there’s the inevitable gust of wind that turns the umbrella inside out. After any time it rains you’ll always see umbrella carcases scattered about the place. It’s pointless.
And what do you do when it's not raining? You're just carrying a uselass lump of metal and plastic. Which means you'll end up losing it.

 

I just hate the way everyone rushes around, not being able to see anything because the umbrella’s in the way, and seems to be trying to take my eye out. It’s probably the only time I glad I need glasses. I’m not kidding. More then once I’ve had metal umbrella spokes jab at my glasses.

And I live in Ireland. It’s not like rain’s exactly a rare phenomenon.

 

Uh. I just don’t like umbrellas.

They annoy me.
