I own three umbrellas.

It's raining, and this reminds me that I can't find any of them. I hate to buy another one - it's pathetic - but I'm not that fond of getting soaked when I go walking, either....

So far, the day is going okay. Had an unexpected task, but it was something I could do and I think I can still get the rest of the week's stuff done - it dislodged squeezing in an extra, maybe.

But umbrellas are for wimps and tourists!

Or people carrying documents or electronics.

Actually, umbrellas are mostly for people who are stupid enough to think that rain comes down vertically in the state of Oregon....

I have a long coat, though. With an umbrella, I might be able to reduce the soaking to merely the bottom foot or so of my legs, plus the coat.

You're not pathetic. I generally go through a couple a year because I tend to lose them. It's why I only buy cheap umbrellas. The most creative way I've ever lost an umbrella is to (accidentally) drop it in the gap between the subway train and the platform.
