Hello mylotters, I have a question for you. Do you dare to go out with out taking an umbrella in a rainy season? Here in my place rain is getting more heavier nowadays. But still many of my friends are so lazy and they are not ready to carry their umbrellas with them! Do you prefer to go out with an umbrella ? Please share your thoughts and views.

I am not fond of taking an umbrella with me. To me, it is like a burden to take out an umbrella,especially if it is not foldable one. If the umbrella does not fit in my bag, then I do not carry it with me. I just ride a tricycle or any mode of transportation.

I also feel very uncomfortable to carry it with me but still i have to take them all my way. I need to stay away from the water drops from the sky and getting those drops over my head can bring me some diseases. I an much worried about it. This is the reason which makes me to carry them during my way. Don't the rain creates much problem on you? How do you deal with it?

During rainy season, I carry a foldable umbrella in my bag whenever I go to my workplace. The problem is when it gets sunny, I always forget that I have an umbrella. So I constantly left my umbrella wherever I go. Some of them were returned to me, but more often, they just got lost. Instead of umbrella, I just wear a hooded jacket whenever it rains.

Hi Wonder, when it is raining season, i will always bring along my umbrella. I can't stand get wet in the rain since i am easily get flu. It had been once that i forgotten to bring along my umbrella and get wet in the rain. And i had been down with flu and fever for nearly a week. Now, i always make sure to bring along my umbrella if the weather is not fine.

I always go out with my umbrella in my bag. It's one of my important thing that I should bring whenever I go out except if my sister with me because it means that I don't have to take the public transport and just ride her car. Otherwise umrella is really essential and always needed especially when it's heavy rain~(^^)

If I go out to smoke at work I use an umbrella. Otherwise if I am just walking into work, the store or my house I just make a run for it. It is just rain I will dry off without melting.

Well, we are not going to melt. I almost never carry an umbrella. In fact, I don't even own one right now. I don't know as I'd go as far as to call your friends lazy unless they refuse to go out in the rain. Maybe getting wet just doesn't bother them.

I do not take umbrellas with me as i find it useless. If it is a heavy rain it gets useless as it is not sturdy enough.

I never go out without an umbrella. Living in the tropical region, I think that an umbrella is an essential accessory. So, it's the rainy season once again. That definitely means I need to bring an umbrella. But, like I said even when it's not raining, I bring one because I use it to shield my self from the sun. Better to take care of your skin while you're young.

Well, if I have to be honest, I am also a bit like your friends, or do not like very much out of the house equipped with umbrella, even when perhaps there would be the necessity.
That said, however (and thankfully!) where I come from the rain is not very frequent, especially the downpours. During a calendar year, whenever I leave the house with an umbrella, I could almost count "on the fingertips." In fact, if it rains low, usually do not carry the umbrella, but maybe a jacket with a waterproof hood.

hi,
yes, i dare to, so what? I am the one who only take umbrella in case i have to come out during the rain for office, even the umbrella will not work as the winds and heavy rain, only the middle part of your head is safe.
Since i love to get wet, there are many instances while returning home from work, when it rains, i don't open the umbrella (even if i have) and just walk in the rain and make myself a ginger tea after reaching home. Last year during one such day, i was enjoying a bath in heavy rain in the morning hours and it was real fun. My children enjoy playing with big ball on the terrace during rainy day..
the seasonal rains usually do not harm us, so who care for an umbrella or a rain coat?

I always go out with umbrella rainy or sunny season because it served as my protection for sun, rain, dogs and people. The weather now is very unpredictable because we will never know if its going to rain or not so better to have an umbrella just to make sure that were not going to get wet when rain start to pour. Also umbrella serve as a protection you can use it as tool if somebody trying to do bad things to you.

Usually when I go out for some time, I will see to the weather whether it will rain before I decide to take an umbrella with me. This way I won't get soaked if it rains. Better prepare than not. By the way, these days we are having blazing weather without rain like we had a few days ago. I am expecting to have another rainy day for the weather to cool down. Take care, thewonderboy.

If the rainy season, I went out of the house, with a folding umbrella, can I put in a bag. So, I'm not confused when it rains. I do not have to take shelter, if you want to quickly get to the destination. If I go out on a motorbike, I always prepare a raincoat.

Hi Wonderboy
I mostly go out on my bike. So holding umbrella on bike is surely not easy... So if I am going to office, I use rain coat. Otherwise I used to go without rain coat or umbrella... I have went out without anything many times on my bike with my friends.. It is surely fun. I know its not good for health, but sometimes its good to have such fun.

Hello! I always have an umbrella in my handbag because I don't want the rain to ruin my hair! We also have heavy rains in my country so I don't want to risk to get very wet :)
Also, I don't use a car. If someone has a car then an umbrella isn't so much necessary!

Here in Kerala the rainy season is away from so my friends don't used to carry the umbrella but sometimes there may be small unexpected rainfall. During those times my friends just used to lend mine.
Do you used to lend umbrella from you friends ?
I feel it will be fun when many friends walks under a single umbrealla

Yes if the rain is unexpected, for example during the summer, I'll probably be unprepared! Then I'll share the umbrella with my friends, I have done it many times and it's fun! And when the rain stops our outside arms are wet because the umbrella isn't wide enough to keep us all protected from the rain!
