Umbrella, rain and errands

I prefer a rain jacket or all weather jacket to an umbrella, or maybe an oilskin jacket if it is cold. All of them are good against the wind too, and as it is really windy here sometimes that's quite handy. It is partly due to the wind I never us an umbrella. When it is really windy, they only get ruined. And if they're not ruined, I tend to forget them somewhere or my father takes them or some friend takes them so a rain jacket is easier to find when I need it.

In most things I'm like a guy but with this I am a girly girl. rain messes up my hair so I wear a rain bonnet Plus I use a umbrella! I don't mind if my body gets wet but Not My Hair!!

If its raining hard, yes, I'll definitely use an umbrella. I use to always bring one in my bag, but now I keep forgetting it..thanks for reminding me.

Hi, bounce58. I can see that this will be an challenge for you. When it is raining outside, I do grab me an umbrella if I can get access to one. I don't keep an umbrella in the car with me, not unless I am at home and it is raining. I will go back inside the house to retrieve an umbrella. I don't like running errands when it is pouring down and raining. I like to run errands when it is very dry.

I honestly probably own at least 3 umbrellas and never use a single one of them. My 3 1/2 year odl daughter on the other hand won't get out of the vehicle unless she has her Dora umbrella - so I'm not sure where she go that from. I do like that she uses it tho. More than likely I always have a hoodie in the car... so if what I'm wearing doesn't consist of a hood, or I don't have my coat with me or whatever, I'll just throw that on and flop the hood up and do what I have to do! Geez bounce! Stop whining! haha I'm kidding I'm kidding! :) I hope you got your box shipped safely and as dry as possible! haha

Hi Bounce, I always have an umbrella with me. It is the folding type and I always carry it inside my bag. So, I don't run errands WITHOUT an umbrella because I am always ready with one. Umbrellas aren't just for rains here. It is too hot at times (especially at noontime) that umbrellas are a big help. Yes, we also keep two umbrellas in the car.

hi bounce well I am in a pickle here as my umbrellas are in storage and I am not, so i am here as usual in Gold Crest, the lovely; not, retirement center, without an umbrella and next week we are to have continuing heavy rains.will probably do a lot of mylotting next week around the various programs we will still get this month.feb. no more programs, older people are not needy according to the garden grove school district. I always said the younger people all feel we should just blow away on the wind or disappear someway. lol lol lol.

If it's a package, I'm going to get as close to the curb as possible, and if I have to run in, set box down and ask the clerk to watch it while I park, I'm going to do that. Yea, Maybe it's annoying to others, but if it needs to be shipped I don't want it to be anymore damaged then it needs to be. As for umbrella's, yea I'd go without one maybe, but then again it depends on where I'm going and how presentable I need to be AND if I forgot to put an umbrella in the car.

Hi there bounce :) Does anyone like running errands in the rain ? : I guess not :P I would keep an umbrella in the car if i had one of course, but since i don't yet, the answer is no. I do go out in the rain and run errands but I DON'T LIKE IT :D. Sometimes we have no choice and we have to do things that we don't like as well.

Hey bounce! I don't mind running errands in the rain in the Spring or Summer! But, in the Winter of Fall, not so much! I hate using an umbrella anytime because in NY it is usually very windy and an umbrella doesn't help! I also don't even have a car so all my errands are done on foot and by public transportation like waiting for a bus!

i run when the rain is not yet heavy and have umbrella when i am not carrying heavy bags and so far if the rain is so heavy i prefer to stand by for awhile and wait toll the rain drop before i go. i rarely bring umbrellas i prefer to have a hoody instead or just a waterproof jacket and umbrella i bring it when their is a typhoon and in normal days i bring none at all.

I do keep one in the car, but the main time I use it is at football games or if I have to walk an entire parking lot to get where I'm going. If I can make it in a quick dash I don't bother.

If I have an umbrella I'll use it. Otherwise if I have forgotten to take it with me I just don't mind getting myself wet in the rain. I always try to take one with me during raing season.
