re: Have you ever bought an umbrella?

Walmart. In the sporting good section

How often are you using an umbrella and destructive are you that you have to buy a couple a year?

The few times I need to outside when it's raining it's for so little time I don't even bother with a umbrella.

Yes. I'll buy a quality one, my wife will borrow it, lose it, and then I will buy another quality one, and repeat the cycle.

Back when I was younger and had hair, I always had an umbrella in my car. My job required me to travel to customer sites and I would always forget it when I left.

I would just buy the cheapest small umbrella that I could. All it had to do was keep my luscious hair dry.

Absolutely not.

Who buys an umbrella anyway? You can get them for free at the coffee shop in those metal cans.

Bought several in undergrad because walking to class in the rain sucked arse. Then I'd leave them in the lecture hall because I was generally hungover. Ah the good ol days.

Never bought one. Anytime I've needed one they've always had some available in the basket by the door of wherever I am.

Repel Umbrella

I've owned this one for a few years. Solid product, good weight, perfectly sized to go in one of the drink slots of my backpack.

Umbrellas are for homosexuals. Wear a rain coat or be a man.

A man is prepared. He protects himself and those around him. If a lady needs me to walk her into a building because it is raining, I am prepared.
