I grew up in a city where it rains alot. I never carried an umbrella and used to laugh at those who did. Now that I'm older I have started to use them more. I even keep one at work now. Are you an umbrella person or not.

I use umbrella a lot because where I live it is important to have one. Even if it's not raining I still bring an umbrella for protection against the sun, it's really hot here you know.

yes, i consider it always necessary to be well protected from the sun's heat. it is known nowadays, to have caused skin cancers to so many people already. this is a thing which can be avoided by using appropriate clothing plus an umbrella or at least, a hat, for those who hate to have umbrellas wherever they go.

It depends on how bad it's raining. If it's just like a drizzle no I don't take an umbrella, but if it's a down-pour then yea I'll grab something to keep me dry.

I have a Love/Hate relationship with umbrellas. First I always leave them on Public Transit and Cabs, or I get the one with the faulty mechanism. But where I live is prone to Spring showers and heavy Summer and Fall down pours, so an umbrella is necessary.

I always keep an unbrella in my car but I don't like using it unless there is a really heavy downpour of rain. I would rather use a waterproof jacket with a hood as unbrellas can be a bit of a nuisance particularly when I have shopping to carry. I guess I am not really an umbrella person.

I never carry an umbrella. I just run when I'm going into a building from my car and back. Sometimes I just walk because it feel nice.

I don't carry an umbrella with me when I go anywhere but maybe if I had to wait for a bus or something I would consider getting one , but for the length of time it takes me to run to my car or to run into a store it just doesn't seem worth it to me . I think it is cute when I see a little one outside with an umbrella though and have one for my little one's to use when they go out . They have only used it once though . ' My main reason in getting it was to get some pictures outside with them but everytime it is raining I am always so worried about them getting sick that I have never done this yet lol :)

i am an umbrella person and i don't have any plans of quitting from being one. whenever i go out, i see to it that i have one with me, whether it be in the daytime or at night. we can never when the rains will come. they usually come pouring in the evenings.
