don't like hate umbrellas! There are many reasons for this...such as, what exactly ARE you supposed to do in the rare event that you make it to your car dry because you actually used the umbrella...do you get in the car while trying to close the umbrella outside the door? Do you close the umbrella when you get to the car and then hop into the car quickly? I haven't figured this one out yet...and I haven't figured out what to do with the WET umbrella once you do get it into the car? Do you drip it across the passenger seat and onto the floor? Do you put it down by your feet and run the risk of getting tangled up in it while driving and perhaps causing an accident? OR do you do something like this...
Once upon a time there were three young teenage girls who moved away to a wonderful college town just a mere month after graduating high school...some people refer to it as Aggie land...the young lovelies chose to call it "Coolage Sta." That name may or may not have been established after the consumption of alcohol...really, it's not my place to share that information. =) Anyhow, these young ladies had some weird aversion to school. It could have been the new found freedom they were experiencing, the awesome house they lived in, the cash flow their parents provided(none of the ladies worked), the alcohol consumption (again, not my place to share), ooor it could have been as simple as something called rain. Rain! Let me share a rain story with you about these three girls...
On one of the rare occasions that all three of the girls made it to school together it was raining! One of the girls, let's call her "Amy", was carrying an umbrella while hiking across the campus parking lot. Yes, am umbrella...you know, those stupid things that are supposed to keep you dry when its raining, well the wind picked up and flipped the damn thing inside out. Wonderful! "Amy" simply chunked the umbrella down, turned around, and walked back to the car. No words were needed...the other two girls followed closely behind. Once in the safety of their car, mostly likely "Rissa's" brand new Tahoe, they drove to Chick-fil-A and ate breakfast before continuing home to return to the warmth of their beds. (This last sentence could be true or false, most likely true because this was done on more than one occasion.)
So ladies, that is my third option of what to do with an umbrella when it's raining. It's really your choice...
