Raining and no umbrella what do you do?

supernova84

Do you just keep walking until it stops not bothered about getting wet or maybe ask a passer by if you could stand under their umbrella ella? I generally just stand in somewhere until it stops.

Run for cover!!


Or get the raincoat...

Kiera

Ask if you can stand under someone elses? WTF?

chrismon

I think it would be weird to ask a stranger if you could stand under their umbrella.

flutterflye

Seriously? Do people actually ever ask a stranger can they share their umbrella??!

Eh.... I guess I'd either stand under something, or keep going.
Not really much else to do!

girl in the striped socks

Out walking the dog or jogging I keep going. I'll be hopping into the shower when I get back anyway.
Otherwise I'd just stand in somewhere until it eases off.

Put the head down and power walk.

Pottler

I find a wide flat person and hoist them over my head until I reach my destination. They usually complain that my grip tickles them but sure what other use is there for wide, flat people?

le la rat

I normally sing and dance in the rain

Shryke

I scream at the sky, challenging the Norse God of thunder - Thor to do battle with me.
He hadn't stepped up yet.

Just keep going. If ya stopped every time it rained you'd be hours getting anywhere.

Red Hand

Never use an umbrella...i just walk on by.

helimachoptor

Just get wet, bitches be loving getting wet

clearz

I always have an umbrella. In the rain I sell it to the highest bidder then buy another.

Palytoxin

Just keep walking, don't bother with the hood 'cause I'm not an uncouth youth.

Depends where I am: If out jogging/walking and I don't have my hat then I just keep going regardless;

jeez, depends. If I've time on my hands I would browse around a shop; or stand under a sheltered archway etc and wait it out.

I stand in doorways waiting for it to stop, and watch that strange breed of person walking through it and holding a small envelope above their head. I have my doubts as to the effectiveness of that method of trying to keep dry.

I wouldn't carry an umbrella-ella-ella-eh-eh-eh. I've got short cropped hair so don't really give a **** about it getting wet tbh.

Edit:

Went out for a cycle on me new bike yesterday and got absolutely drenched on the way back but didn't really mind because I was looking forward to the warm shower and soft, dry, clothes at home.


Nice.

I just bought a T-shirt that says: "I'm high voltage. Don't touch me if you're wet.":D:D:D:D

Bit of water wont kill ya, though with the weather lately I have been considering a boat.

I remember in the 80s an aul lad around where I used to live, sometimes used a white Dunnes Stores or Superquinn plastic bag as a rain hood, he also sometimes had one tied over his bike saddle as well, lest he look completely crazy. This look should deffo come back into fashion.

i use whatever i got pull up the back of my coat(even when its hoodless)and pull it over my head for cover,or take it off altogether and put it over my head in a tent like fashion..
other occasions ive put magazines over my head,my bag,anything that comes to hand,if its a down poar and im really stuck i would run into the nearest pound shop(if im in the city)and buy an umbrella for 1.49 in dealz or in eurozone for 2E

That's how all those kinky sex games start.:eek:

maybe he was a rubberbandit or something did he sing the horse outside tune or have a shell suit tracksuit on?

FloatingVoter

I take my woolly hat out of my jacket pocket and plank it on my bald head. Umbrellas are anti-social and should be subject to road tax.

Sarn

Depends on where I'm going and how heavy it is. If it looks like a quick shower I'll take shelter. If I'm on the way home I'll keep going.

More often then not I'll have an umbrella so not usually a problem. I'm open to sharing it if I'm at a bus stop (especially if she's hot!).

Satts

A stranger asked to share our umbrella during a shower while we were horse racing once. While we were talking he gave us a tip for a horse. We put a few quid on it and it won, covering our costs for the day. It's good to talk.

fergiesfolly

I live in the West of Ireland. We have to plan for when theres no rain. Usually involves removing one or two layers

Pushtrak

Depends on how bad it is, how likely I think it to get better soon, and how badly I have to get going. Anyone else find this a fairly washed up thread?
