Do You Use An Umbrella?

Yes I like umbrellas better than raincoats.

i don't know if it just me or what .. but other peoples umbrellas seem to always work better than mine...!!!! even if i get the same make., mine will jam half way up, or fold and break or even let the rain through.. so umberellas are a neccessary evil and when you find one that works keep it safe., so a little like yourself always regret not having the waterproof with me when get into umbrella disfunction... it sends my hair really curly... and i so try and keep it straight..!!! lol

When I take my umbrella, I wish I had got a raincoat, scarf, and boots instead. It seems that everytime I use the umbrella, the wind is so great it turns it upside down, the threads that hold it get broken. And it does not matter if it is a cheap one from the dollar store or one that costs almost $20, the same thing happens. Not only does it turn upside down - even in a small wind, but I am sure that God put Winnipeg when it rains as an example of what happened during the great Flood. The rain seems to come not just from the top, but from all sides, and from underneath.

i certainly do, not only to avoid getting wet when it's raining... i also use an umbrella when the sun is unbearable... you know, times are a'changin' that even males now use umbrella against a searing sun...

i always bring umbrella no matter how hot or cold the weather is. sometimes its just in my bag,when i'm lazy to get it out of my bag i don't get it. as long as i can take the hotness of the sun. well,of course if its raining i would use it,my friend! wherever i go,i see to it that i do bring umbrella cause sometimes you don't know when it will rain or shine. at least you are ready to protect yourself no matter what happens.you know,umbrellas can also a way of defending yourself against bad people,right? especially nowadays,here its really raining almost everyday,my clothes won't get dry even i washed them the day before today. i always remember someone when it's raining and we share umbrella together.

i love umbrellas... rain or shine ... big or small , different colors too. raincoats i sweat inside even in the middle of the rain. and i can't wear raincoat under sunshine, huh;/

Not very often. I don't mind when it rains, although sometimes when it pours it down I do. More times out of ten I don't, as my Umbrella as been pinched by my father and I haven't yet replaced it. I generally only once one when I remember to take it out and if it's really coming down that fast, probably is the wind tends to be high which makes it harder to hold onto.

i don't really like umbrellas..they are so heavy and space-taker..i'd rather get soak than use them..unless of course i'm on my way to work..

I used to use an umbrella, a lot of years ago. I don't know why I don't use one now. I guess because I am usually in a car when it is raining but I sure could of used one yesterday. Although I was mostly in people's homes, cleaning them, and in the car going from one house to the other, it was raining all day and it was a pain when I had to get out of the car and go into my trunk to get my supplies because by the time I get into the house I am soaking wet. Then I finally dry off by the time I finished cleaning the house and had to go outside again, to my car, to go to the next house and I get wet again. So I could have sure used an umbrella, maybe I have to think about buying one again.

Though cumbersome, I use the umbrella more than a raincoat as it is easier to travel around with an umbrella. It is difficult putting on a raincoat and taking it off in crowded places while travelling and my city is indeed very congested.

I don't like umbrellas as they leave you only able to use one hand, and then when you are indoors, its hard as you have to keep the umbrella open so it can dry. I hate walking around in crowded places when people have umbrellas as you have to avoid the ends of the umbrella as they can be sharp and then as you say, they turn inside out or break easily. If it is windy too, you can loose your umbrella as they blow away really easily. I much prefer to wear a hooded jacket/coat.

I love the rain! When it is rain and flood potential. We had an over abundance of it here lately. Flooding is bad in some areas. Raincoat and hood? My goodness. If I was made of tissue paper or sugar or something maybe. Rain water actually makes your hair very soft. I love the rain!

I used to use an umbrella all the time. They were sometimes hard to hold though. Now I use a walker or crutches so I have no free hands to hold an umbrella. I usually wear a raincoat. I hate hoods, but now I don't really have a choice if I want to stay dry. I try not to go out in the rain, but sometimes you can't help it.

Hi ellie i wear a saree, carry an umbrella always in my vanity bag, it is folding type takes less space, but if it is raining and i go out, i wear a rain coat of light plastic and still use the umbrella thnks, happy mylotting, cheers

To be honest I am very lazy to bring umbrella, I mean to hold umbrella. I do have umbrella but it is always in my bag. Even if it is hot in the morning I am still lazy to open and hold it to cover myself from the sun. as a result I have severe perspiration and my skin is darker this days. Consider summer had passed and I hardly used my umbrella. I only use it when it is raining hard, when the drop is so little I do not use it instead I run as fast as I can .

When I did own an umbrella I always forgot to bring it with me. I like walking in the rain any way. I would be more inclined to take one to avoid the heat of the sun. Some times you just can't find any shade when you need it. I really do think they are more trouble than they are worth.

I do not like dumbrellas since i was i child. Very early in life i found out how they turn inside out. Grrr!!! I usually carry a rain ponch which can be purchased from dollar stores. Usually 2 ina package. I carry them whereever i go in my purse. In the state i live the weather changes quicky sometimes. I also have i coleman rain poncho which i take with me sometimes. Mostly i use a umbrella for the sun so its more of a sunbrella for me.

Generalizing about the usage of umbrella is unfair. It depends on place to place. In a place like Kerala, where even a light rain is so heavy that you will be drenched even with a rain coat, umbrella is a must. Instead of dumping umbrella altogether, you should, maybe, use a better quality one.

Yes. I carry along in my bag an umbrella. It's for protection. I always carry it to protect me from too much sun and rain.

I always have problems with umbrellas - no matter how sturdy they are meant to be they always seem to get damaged when I take them out :( either the wind blows them inside out or something silly happens to them and because I don't use them often I'm also prone to leaving them behind if I stop somewhere like a coffee shop, guaranteed it will have stopped raining when I come out and there goes my memory to collect my umbrella.. I have a very light jacket with a hood that I use when it is hot, it doesn't save much from the rain but at least I feel as if I'm trying lol
