As A Adult Man, Did You Ever Carry A Umbrella And Use It ?

[BeenHereBefore 1,491]

Not me and will dodge the drops like the Matrix! Will run faster like Forrest Gump! To ghey a look for me and maybe if I was Carry Grant. Worked for him!

[RaiderHaters Revenge 4,282]

I’m 50 and have never used an umbrella in my life

My dad would always say. Don’t be a pu55y. You wanna hear about rain??? Let me tell you about Charlie 

[Maximum Overkill 1,836]

Not once. I have however carried one for my Daughter and Wife when it was raining

Think my mom pushed them on me more so. Dang I wanna hear about Charlie now?!!!

[BunnysBastatrds 2,354]

  Yup. I have great hair. Rain fawks it up. My umbrella has duckies on it. 

[Hardcore troubadour 15,101]

 A man does not carry an umbrella for himself.  If you don’t know why that’s on you 

[supermike80 1,851]

Only on the golf course

[avoiding injuries 1,537]

Comfortable enough in my masculinity that I proudly say I do. 
Weird flex to not use technology that keeps you dry. 

[MDC 7,208]

Yeah, why wouldn’t I? ️ 

[Mike Honcho 5,202]

I did a couple of times, but I would always forget the umbrella somewhere and have since given up on owning one. 

[Tree of Knowledge 1,757]

Was at my daughter’s game last night and rained like mofo and was 50 degrees.  
Proudly sat under my umbrella.  
 

Weird flex.

As A adult?

Yeah I'm not some weird insecure man who think using an umbrella makes him a sissy, but I do prefer a raincoat/poncho/hat over an umbrella for most scenarios.  Umbrellas are awkward if you're an a sporting event it's rude to other people by either blocking view or redirecting water onto them.  Also wind makes the umbrella  a PITA.  Umbrella works if you're dressed up and can't avoid the rain and don't want to show up at work looking homeless.

[jbycho 690]

No.

Gore-tex rain jacket? Yes.

No normal straight person wears a poncho unless they are on the set for a Clint Eastwood western remake. 

Weirdo.

These never took off

Ponchos are my go to for professional sports when it’s raining. As said above, you can’t have an umbrella sitting in the stands with other people. 

[Hardcore troubadour 15,101]

Even though I’m the king you guys know I’m not in charge, right?

When you go to the Indigo Girls concert? 

[Maximum Overkill 1,836]

I hire a Mexican to hold my umbrella

Agreed. Only weaklings are to afraid to use something with a purpose because they think it's not manly. 

[Hardcore troubadour 15,101]

A real man keeps his hands at the ready. 

[jerryskids 6,632]

I live in Phoenix so I don't remember if I own one.   

Most of the ones I see are wimmens using them to block the sun on a walk/hike.

How about an umbrella/nightstick with a switch blade built in, or a taser?

[WhiteWonder 2,693]

Sure. Easy answer on the golf course

regular use, I will normally not use one if I’m going to my car, car to work etc. I will just make a dash indoors.

if I know I’m going to be in a situation like stuck outside in the city wearing nice clothes and it’s pouring, sure I’ll use one

[BunnysBastatrds 2,354]

 Yeah, I guess it’s stoopid to carry an umbrella when you’re wearing a two thousand dollar suit and try to protect it when it rains almost every day. And look good and classy.

You’ve only used your hands for the last 30ish years so I trust your take 

[Engorgeous George 2,222]

Most times i go with this .... Swagman Jacket | Jackets by Outback Trading Company – OutbackTrading.com

I also have a vinyl poncho in a stuff sack around the size of a softball, a kayaking cold weather jacket which is very waterproof, and a pop up umbrella in my truck which I use for my wife

when I use to have to wear suits I had a nice overcoat, that sufficed as i would not stay outside in them, just go from car to building.  I did not use an uumbrella as I found them awkward once inside.  You had to shake them off, fold them up, put them someplace, and then remember them.  A quick dash in an overcoat worked.

 I NEVER wore a T-shirt to school. Always a button down shirt with a collar, pressed. And I hung out with the heads. Talk about being a turd in the proverbial punch bowl. Girls loved it and guys would ask me if they could borrow one of my shirts. Guess you could say I was Chrissely without the phaggot lisp. Brah!
