    I usually don't use an umbrella because I love the rain. I love jogging in the rain. I love walking in the rain. I love being in the rain. But I sometimes carry an umbrella with me anyway just in case I see someone trying really hard to stay out of the rain and they don't have one. Because I'M A NICE PERSON JIRO. Gah.

    I do the umbrella raise, and it's also kind of like waving at the tall dreamboat man walking at yo- and he didn't notice. smurf.

    Signature by rubah. I think.

    Fuzzy T is the kind of guy I like. He'd hand you his umbrella and then walk in the rain beside you. I can dig that. I'd do that but I can never remember an umbrella anyway. That's what I have hair for: defence.

    They see me rolling. They hating, patrolling.
    Trying to catch me riding dirty.

    This is correct umbrella etiquette.

    If only this could be taught to the inhabitants of my city. Flamethrower on standby.

    FOA, I recommend wearing a hockey mask... and maybe swing your arms in a circular motion... The tall dreamboat man will definitely notice you then

    No matter how high I raise an umbrella, it will never be high enough. This is what happens when you are short.

    Whenever I'm in the rain, the only thing I really try to cover is my satchel. (It's not really a backpack because it's by my bum. @_@) So basically, my umbrella is always kinda behind me, so I don't knock out people's eyes. Of course, if it's raining really heavily I'll cover myself rather than the bag, but this doesn't happen often.

    Walk through Tokyo on a rainy day and you will see very impressive umbrella choreography. Those Japanese have it down.

    This is the correct way to do it. Just push the thing away from your face. If someone's dog runs up to hump my leg, I blow push it away, and there's no reason why the same principle cannot transfer across all cases of oblivious wankers not paying attention.

    I hate random people with umbrellas! I'm 6 foot so the average person hits me in the face with the small metal parts along the umbrella. One afternoon one of them hit me in such a way it cut me pretty deep. Bleeding out the side of your head on a bus makes people give you odd looks I can tell you

    Isn't it supposed to be the other way around?
