I just use or (keep) all the ones that are left behind at my office, people come in when it’s raining and leave at front door upon entering, when they leave, if it’s quit raining, 75% of the time they leave the behind.

Calm down day time Emmy, it’s just water accumulation in the sky falling back down.

I’m sure you’re plenty prepared to keep all the women dry.

no sir I have never bought an umbrella. I’m not sure I’ve ever owned an umbrella come to think of it. I certainly don’t currently own one

I probably bought 30 of them over 2 years living in Shenzhen. I would always be leaving them at work or somewhere else and then it would just pour rain for hours out of no where, but no worries, there was always an elderly Ayi selling them outside the metro station for like fifteen kuai

There's always a nice selection in the trash cans outside Tiger Stadium, for the rainy games.

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

I have never bought an umbrella. In fact I don’t think I have ever even had an unnumbered adult life. I know for sure I don’t have one now. Not sure it’s something I have ever given any thought to prior to this thread.

True story my wife and I were kicked out of a concert a few years back and when I went to grab my beloved Cadillac umbrella that my uncle gave me, someone had stolen it.

Therefore I proceeded to grab a massive pile of umbrellas and carry them all back to the car.

Last one I bought was in Salzburg, Austria. We were walking around town when it started to rain so we bought a black umbrella with white musical notes on it.

Yes. Home Depot has golf size umbrellas for cheap and I have bought my wife Chihuly umbrellas before. They are beautiful.

The one in my truck I got from an off campus book store at LSU, can't remember the name but it was in the same parking lot as the original walk ons. I have smaller one for traveling that I got from a mall in Singapore.

I've only ever bought 1, and that's when I lived and worked in downtown Chicago. I needed one that would hold up to the wind.

Other than that I have only gotten free/promotional ones.
