   Umbrellas are the biggest scam ever. Oh cool, a device that's supposed to protect you from the rain, it would be a shame if a wind blew in its direction and broke its spokes, rendering it unusable. Not to mention none of the public places have any facilities to properly store them or dry them off, so you're stuck with it hanging closed and possibly spreading mold.

     All you need is a nice water-resistant hood jacket.

     This is how Floridians handle the rain. It's too hot to have hair, and it's too inconvenient to own an umbrella, plus it's only going to rain for like 5 minutes anyway.

     It's like Vietnam over here, except we get Hurricanes instead of Monsoons, and then sometimes those hurricanes go North and hit L*berals who then get big mad because water's wet or something like that.

     Depends on location. Some do at every workplace and most stores. The rest is a question of skill, a proficient umbrella wielder can predict air currents and assume aerodynamic stance.
