Short people and umbrellas...

mikemac

are lethal or at best an annoyance to others!

Just a fine, light drizzle on my walk to walk this morning and got hit once in the forehead by a umbrella and had to dodge another which I saw from the corner of my eye so quickly dodged it.

Yep, both short women and both far more arrogant then most, ne'er an apology as they powerwalked on and never looked back! I suppose it was all my fault, I'm not particularly tall, just average

Ok, it hasn't been raining that much lately but it will happen and I'm sure this has affected others

Not seen a thread on this, does it bother anyone else or is it just me?

I hate all people with umbrellas.

You could always wear giant red clown shoes, then anyone using an umbrella will naturally look up.

I am short and just how I manage to get through rainy days without shoving an umbrella up someones arse is beyond me. some women are completely careless about them they don't care where they put them. I've nearly had an eye out over them...ban them, seriously.

Went to Specsavers yesterday.

Guess who I bumped into?

Everybody.

They are CÚNTS.

All people with umbrellas are lethal when you are big, it's not just the short people I am afraid. Should we have a licencing system for people with umbrellas?

If I was short, I would have a sunbrella, a windbrella and an unbrella for the rain too. I would sharpen the edges with an oil stone and pace up and down grafton street... Could you imagine the heaps of bodies I would leave behind???

Umbrellas are abominations and must be destroyed.

Stop being dopes with your umbrellas and put your hood up like a real man.

They are a fine substitute for a crowbar. They could knock anyone over

It only bothers me when they complain after I punch them.

Small people with umbrellas are on par with people holding those GIANT golfing umbrellas just for themselves. Take too much room.

I saw a bird on the way to work today with one of the golf umbrellas and she wasn't more than about five foot four...

Ugh. Combining the two, ridiculous behaviour.

they are actually lethal, I have to count to 10 to stop myself from stamping on them

I have one of those wrist things that Christian Szell (Lawrence Olivier) has in the marathon man. I cut their throats (Laertes to Claudius: I would cut his throat in t'church)

That pun was truly shocking. Still, no need to get into a flap about it I suppose.

i'm....kinda not really short :P so whenever i use an umbrealla i ALWAYS make sure to hold it high when I'm passing people,
however whenever i'm with a friend who's taller than me and i'm using an umbrella they usually take it off me and carry it themselves to stop getting it !

But agreed it's rude when people don't apologise

Tech3

maybe they should invent an umbrella with a longer stem therefore we wont have minor casualtys on the footpath each day?

thank you for trying , i wish i could say the same thing to the little small old lady that nearly took my eye out with them little pointy things

Here, I'm short. I can't help it. I'm not going to get wet, just so some tall fella doesn't complain about me poking him with my umbrella. Sorry. I do try not hit people though, if that's any consolation.

They are too busy looking down on us to notice simple things like umbrellas.

5'9" btw.

Who are reforming and going to tour again soon BTW.
If only someone thought of some sort of public information sharing system specifically for these glorious announcements.

I saw a silver spike thingey coming towards me, so avoided it.

Seems to be a problem for some.
