In your purse or in your car you have all the time a umbrella ? Are you afraid that will start to rain and want all time to be ready to face it? You use a umbrella when is raining? or just you will buy one, from city if start to rain?

Yes! Even though I am in 'sunny Italy' it rains here too - and usually when you least expect it too. Like today! A glorious sunny day then mid afternoon it clouded over and we got a downpour I have one in the house and another one in the car. I used to have a fold up one in my bag but that broke a year ago when I used it in a thunderstorm and I haven't replaced it. Never knew where to put it when it was wet anyway.

Hi, Icesmile! I have umbrellas in the car, in my briefcase, in my classroom and in the house. I hate getting wet unless I intended to go for a run in the rain. Living in subtropical Miami means it rains a lot most of the time, although we're in a drought at the moment. The forecasters say it's finally going to rain a lot this week, so I'm prepared.

Nope. It's really not comfortable carrying this stuff around especially during wet days, when the rain isn't that strong. I'd rather wear a rain coat or a hoodie to cover my head and prevent it from getting wet than carry an umbrella 'coz it is os hard to bring it along especially if you can't even carry your other stuff properly.

I hardly every use an umbrella. When I get wet, then I get wet. The wind is normally to heavy when it rains, the umbrella is hard to handle. hahaha! I will only take an umbrella with me when I am wearing good close. Or when I have a bad cold. That does not happen very often. Take care.

i tend to get caught out alot. usually if i decide to take one with me then it usually is really sunny but if i decide to leave mine at home because it is sunny then it usually pours it down the moment i get outside. it is so annoying

There is always an umbrella in my car. It is nice to have it with you when you need it! I dont really worry about being ready to face the rain. There are many times when an umbrella isnt necessary, even if it is raining. Most times I just have to walk from my car to a building - whether it be home, work, or a store. So a little bit of water wont kill me! There are times when it is really pouring, so an umbrella is helpful. If I dont have an umbrella with me, I rarely buy a new one. Some stores actually mark up the prices when it is raining! We already have several at home. It seems silly to buy something I already own. If I dont have my umbrella with me when I need it, what makes me think I would remember the new one next time? There are also days where it is just fun to play in the rain! I think adults often forget just how fun that can be. There are so many worries going through their heads that they wont simply enjoy it!

No, we don't carry an umbrella as if it starts to rain we just seek shelter if we're outside, or we just let it rain on us. It doesn't really matter to us.I used to carry an umbrella on days that it would rain when I was going to school, but now I just don't worry about it.

No, I don't always have an umbrella with me. I don't see the point of carrying an umbrella with me, when it's really sunny outside, and there isn't a cloud in the sky. It may just me, but it's the way that I see it.

I live in south Florida and we have a rainy season...in fact a little rain cloud is overhead right now. When it rains at this time of year it usually doesn't last for long but you never know so, yes, I keep an umbrella in my vehicle as well as a ball cap. I will sometimes take one or the other into a store with me incase it starts to rain while I'm inside.

I don't keep an umbrella with me all the time. The truth is, it's never at the place where I'm at when it starts raining. For example, if I'm at home when it stars raining and I need to go somewhere, it never fells my umbrella is never in the house, its always in the car. Or sometimes its just the other way around. I think I need 3 or 4 umbrellas.

No i do not keep an umbrella with me. I do not even think that i have one anymore. I just get to where i have to go if it is raining out...I do not mind getting a little wet now and then. Their are times when at home i go out in the rain and enjoy it very much just to have that clean fresh water running all over me.

No, i don't keep an umbrella handy or in a car because it hardly rains here. And it is a small town so I don't have to take long walks before reaching home or anywhere. No one is used to taking or using umbrellas here :D strange? right? :D

In my home town it doesn´t rain all of a sudden. You cna fairly guess when it´s going to rain. I never carry an umbrella and hate the gadget. If it´s raining a lot I´ll run to the metro and go home. Anyway I use warm clothing that doesn´t let water through easily. If I have to wait, I go to a coffee shop and order a coffee.
