opposite in japan though. though typically if you’re gaijin they’ll know anyways, but I always just wore a hat and long-coat instead of the umbrella alternative; especially since all the umbrellas of natives would just bash against my shoulders
They should fucking outlaw umbrellas everywhere. People are jackasses with them.
Imagine your umbrella without the fabric. Now what do you have? A fucking stick with smaller, stabby sticks radiating out from it. And you’re holding those stabby sticks at eye-level… and they are pointed at people’s faces.
Hello?!?!?! Fuckhead?!!??! Yeah… do you think you could be a little careful about using one with anyone else nearby? Nope, people can’t handle that. They don’t give a shit, at least Americans don’t.
Kids are the worst; not because they’re kids but because most parents suck at parenting and thus let their kids dick around with their umbrella. And since kids are generally not really good at paying attention to others around them anyway…. yeah… not a good scene. I hated picking my kid up at school on rainy days because of that.
Or they would open-and-close their umbrellas really fast, spraying everyone else around them with water. ‘Ooooo, look how cool that is!’ No, it’s really not; no one really enjoys getting their face spashed with water like that, you little fuck.
