i always have my umbrella with me especially it's been weeks of raining here in our place.i never see my colleague brought any umbrella for years.he just fold his hankie and make it as his cover in the head. i suggested to him to buy an umbrella yet he refused too since he finds it bulky and inconvenient to use and bring.some people don't like to bring umbrella.how about you?

I don't keep an umbrella with me always but then if the weather forecast say there will be rain for the day, I will get an umbrella as I really don't like to get wet and taking an umbrella is better. Also, I always have an umbrella at my office just in case.

I also bring three fold when it is really not raining and that the forecast is just small rains. But if the rain is heavier, I will just take the longer one as there is probably no chance for me to put the umbrella back into my bag at all.

I will carry my umbrella with me when I remember because it protects me from rain and sun-heat. But most of the time I forgot to bring one. To make it worse, I often forgot to take it back with me. I lost more than a dozen of them already. Anyway, I still plan to bring one when necessary LOL. My huddy doesn't like to carry umbrellas with him even if he has to get wet all over in rainy days. I guess guys don't like to carry any things that are bulky.

If the rain outside is really heavy I will take my umbrella with me. If it is dry then I won't take my umbrella even though it could start raining later on. My umbrella is large and it is bulky to bring with me. If I get a bus and have to fold up my son's pushchair there is a possibility that I will lose my umbrella. I wonder where I put my small umbrella but I know my large umbrella is in my hall close to the front door.

I keep my umbrella in my car. I dont carry it with me because I park in a garage at work so if it rains I dont get wet. But I keep it in my car for when I do need it.

I always keep an umbrella with me. Else-wise, I even have windshetter but that is too heavy a stuff for me to carry around and usually when I have to go to college, it fills more than half of the space of my backpack. So, I gladly turn up for umbrella, even if it seems much old fashioned these days. I remembered the times when I was a kid and usually misplaced my umbrella many a times when I used to carry them with me and must have lost almost a dozen umbrellas like that!!

I always carry an umbrella with me. Its been almost 15yrs now that I got my first job and as a gift, my mom presented me a three fold umbrella (very practical of her, I must say) …it’s a really sturdy and small thing when folded but when it opens out, its quite big. Being small, it easily fits into one of the many compartments of my daily sack (aka office bag)…so its always there with me. I don’t use it on sunny days but for sudden showers, its always there with me.

I keep my umbrella in my car. That's where it will stay unless I am in a dire need to use it. I don't like to carry an umbrella around. It annoying and I might left it by mistake. I use to take an umbrella to my desk at work. When I leave the office and get to the parking (it's an open air type, no roof) it was raining and I forgot to take the umbrella down. The office will be lock after we leave it so there's no way to retrieve it unless I have time to find the security guard. In the end, I still get wet. It happen a lot of time. Now, the umbrella just stay in the car.

I always have my umbrella with me even there is no raining. I keep it with my handbag and whenever i need an unbrella I can easily get it. It is very convient. But some of my friends don't like to bring with unbrella, and when it rains they waited untill it stops or asked soemone to bring one for them.

well, i need to bring my own umbrella and its a souvenir from a far place from where i am now. that's why its my pride and joy. its a folded black umbrella and i always have it with me inside my handbag. and its like i can't go out or it's like somethings missing in me if i can't bring it along with me. it's a very useful thing and keeps you dry from the raindrops on your head. jhelai

I tend not to carry an umbrella as i find they are not the kind of thing i can fit in my hand bag so there for i would have to carry it and with everything else i end up carrying i would not be able to carry it.I do not mind getting wet as long as i am not soaking wet and i do not tend to walk very far either.Happy Mylotting.

I didn't use to like having the extra bulk in my bag, but I'm thankful when it made itself useful when I'm caught in an unexpected downpour. Normally I like handy ones which you can keep in your purse nicely, the long ones I keep it in the car.

I don't think an umbrella is inconvenient to carry. I keep umbrella with me most of the time I go out. It summer in my place for around 11 months a years. I always use an unmbrella to protect me from sun. But, there are people who don't care sun and don't mind to walk even in very hot sun during afternoon. I can't do that. When I buy hand bags. I go for little bigger ones where I can keep an umbrella. Most of the women in my part of the country do keep umbrellas with them.

Even I don't like to bring umbrellas as much as possible. But I still bring one. I just bought a very thin and small umbrella that fits easily in a small bag. It is also very lightweight. I always have an umbrella inside my bag so that I am always prepared in case it rains. I can also use the umbrella when the sun is very hot. It is better to be inconvenienced by an umbrella than be sick with the flu, fever, etc.

i think you're right. take a umbrella is not a boring thing. it can help us in some especial occasion,eg,rainning day.But, i think, maybe we can make it flexible, we can notice the weather forecast in advance, if its a good day,we may not to take the umbrella.

I have several umbrellas. A few at home and one in the car. The one in the car is small enough to fit in my purse. I don't mind getting a little wet, but if my hair gets wets and then dries...it is scary looking.
