I lost my umbrella again! Absent-minded or careless!

Well umbrellas aren't really something you use every day and when you come rushing in from the rain, you're more concerned about getting dry and warm than where you dump your wet umbrella! So don't feel like you're absent minded. Perhaps you can put up a special hook next to your front door so you can hang your umbrella to dry each time you come in. That way you will always know where it is.

Don't be too hard on yourself. Think on the bright side. For the umbrella, you will certainly bless someone else who has need for it. The other thing you can consider is buying an umbrella that comes with a sling strap, so you can carry it around as if it is a sword in the old Chinese fighting movies. I know how you feel, I have lost an umbrella before....good thing just 1, but other things, probably more than 1. Think of it as paying it forward.

Well yes I guess that feels disappointing to know that you lost something especially when it happens all the time. In my case I seem to always lost my pen. Since I usually used that all the time its either my officemates would unintentionally take it when they borrow it from my table and would not return it back. With my umbrella I have one since last year and its rather old and dilapidated already but I just massage it and it would go back to its original form. But it is not suitable anymore for strong rains because it always has a tendency to fold up.

hahahaha Naku!!! my friend, why is it that we are pretty much the same? when I was yet in the there, I always lost hankies and umbrellas many times too. that is why I am not bringing umbrella unless it is raining badly. I can tolerate the heat, so no umbrella when it is hot. About the hankies? oh!!! I felt really bad specially that Carozo brand? those were a little bit expensive hankies and I always lost it on the jeepneys, in malls or wherever I will go. when I am in the jeepney, I still have it but when I am already in the house? I can't remember where did I drop it.. carelessness I think? hahaha in my part. What I did for the hankies is tie it in my neck or in my wrest so that I will not lost it.. hahahaha.. you can do that my friend.. it is like a sort of fashion... hahaha but the truth is you want to avoid losing it.. hahaha

Hi Maam Salonga, We have the same experience,I always bring umbrella on my bag,I've lost 5 five umbrellas for 10 months,my wife always telling me that i am absent-minded,I think we are Absent-minded or we forgot things when we are in hurry.

That makes alot of us being absent minded. I have decided not to buy another umbrella after losing 8 or 9 of them. I'll just borrow from our neighbor so that i have a responsibility in returning the umbrella making it a priority to make sure the umbrella is returned :)

Personally as a person who has lived in the Seattle, WA area for over 15 yrs. now, oh how I can truly relate with this one. I am not sure how many umbrellas I have lost, had stolen, or broke on me over the yrs. and am really lucky if I can go thru without having to buy like 2-3 new ones a yr. sometimes. It is getting to the point where I can get the ones from the Dollar Tree which seem to last me about as long as ones from anywhere else even. But when one does disappear, or I leave it somewhere, I only hope that the person who finds it somewhere needs it even worse than I.

neither of the two is the answer to your question. the truth is we are not that organize and we just put things anywhere we want to. our body has its own system of remembering things automatically when stuffs are placed at the right places. i experienced losing my umbrella a lot of times, until a friend told me to have a place where my system can find it.

hey,I am too! Lost,forgot,misplaced,absent-minded these are the words which always tagged along with me.I've lost four reading glasses already.there were times my sisters and daughters would always teased me that it is because of my birth certificate(hahaha).Well,i guessed it comes along with my age then.Is it about time for me to take a memory enhancer?

I lost a lot of umbrellas already. That's why I leave my umbrellas at home. I just brought one in the office, so that in case I need it during sunny days or rainy days, I will have one to use. I don't know why, but when it comes to umbrellas, I'm really forgetful!

no, u are definiely not the only one who is absentminded. i don't ;ose umbrellas because i very seldom use them. what drives me nuts is putting something up here in the house & then can't remember where i put it & have to turn the house upside down to find it. so just the crowd, you aren't alone.

You are not alone my friend. I have been losing umbrellas too, that is why i don't carry one anymore just to be sure that i don't lose it again. I can't explain it either. Or maybe it is because umbrellas are somewhat big or bulky that we tend to put them down like when we go to other places or when we are buying something,to re ach for our wallets, we put them down.So, when we leave we tend to forget about it and when we do realize that we have forgotten it then it is too late.

Well, you are not the only one. Me too. Life's just like that. Just do your best to remember that you brought an umbrella, and hope you don't forget :)

at least, it's only an umbrella, me? when i lost my head cap, at least it's only a head cap, thank's because it's not a cellphone....

I am an umbrella misplacer too. I always leave it somewhere. I do have an umbrella I may have had for some while now, and the only reason I still have it is because I stopped using umbrellas. Between me and my husband we have misplaced so many umbrellas. Usually I am going from the house to the car and from the car to my distination, so I just do without an umbrella and run real fast

i am very much like you when i bring with me an umbrella. that's why i don't want to have it with me. it's not your fault at all. i think it's not just our forte to bring an umbrella with us. lol

I feel very sad to hear that from you! It is really very painful to loose something. What you have bought with your hard-earned money is always favorite item to you. I am not saying that what you get as gift are not favorite. I think, what is earned at the cost of physical labor is always favourite naturally. You should be very careful buddy. Probably you are a bit absent-minded. If you go anywhere, then give special attention on your umbrella. Every now and then try to remember what you have taken with you. Then the chance is very little you loose it again.

It is funny because throughout my life i have lost things but fortunately retrieved most of them. Now days I try to stay very organized and focused because even if I recover my lost things the enormous amount of energy and time its taken me to find things I decide to get a handle on this problem and overcame the absent mindedness or whatever. I very happy that I have.

I have lost at least 8 umbrellas in the last year. Just seems to be umbrellas with me though.

I keep losing umbrellas just like you. If they don't fit into a purse or something, like I need to carry it in my hands, then it's gone. I leave it somewhere and just remember hours later. I love big umbrellas that cover me entirely, but they are the easiest to lose. I once lost a scarf at the movies. And a silver necklace at the x-ray room. I'm still sad about the necklace!
