Do you mind walking in the rain without an umbrella?

Post Reply New Topic

Unless I'm going to my work or to some appointment, I don't care if it rains and I get wet. When I get home I change into dry clothes and let my wet clothes dry. No big deal at all.

In general, no.

If I had to walk a long way in pouring rain, that would be different. I wouldn't want to get soaked.
It might also depend where I was going.

I have what I assume to be an irrational hatred of umbrellas. I dont think I'm co-ordinated enough to use one, I always end up still getting wet, plus I struggle when passing people on the street, I hold it awkwardly and get my hair caught in it and all sorts. Dont even get me started on sharing an umbrella with someone else, the logistics are a nightmare!

I love rain. So I don't mind it at all.

Don't mind at all, I even love walking outside when its pouring.

No problems here.

Umbrellas are much more annoying than rain.
I just keep my hand over my glasses, because it is just the splattering of drops on them that bothers me.

I live near Seattle. Need I say more?

Good fortune,

I bet it's nice up there, eh?

I'm from the desert land of Arizona. Hot, and hardly any rain. Ah but I love it anyway.

I find there's too small a range of conditions where I find umbrellas to be useful. If it's just drizzling like it does mostly in Seattle then an umbrella is totally pointless. If it's pouring down cats and dogs and/or windy the umbrella is also useless as you're going to get soaked pretty much no matter what. In this case it's almost better to just close the umbrella and make a mad dash for it.

It depends how badly it is raining, obviously... but I've never been an umbrella person. I guess my thoughts are, if it's raining so bad that you absolutely require an umbrella or gortex shell, then you needn't go outside!

A little rain doesn't bother me at all. Although it irritates me when I get my shoes wet, because I hate soaked socks and wet feet, and because the shoes will never be the same after a thorough soaking.

I don't mind which is good because I have to walk my dog everyday whether its raining or not and an umbrella would get in the way.

I don't mind walking in the rain at all, though other people seem to mind if I walk in the rain. They're usually shoving an umbrella in my face as I go out the door

I run towards it.

Walking through rain is a lovely sensation.

I don't mind it at all. The only exceptions would be if I was walking to work and it was pouring down, in which case I really hate that wet-wool smell which lingers for hours from my coat (but if it's windy, like it normally is, then an umbrella doesn't do much except blow inside out anyway), or if I was going somewhere important and really needed to be dry.

Other than that I really love walking in the rain.
