What the fk is it with some people these days, soft stes!

Today, when I left the office, the sky was grey, and there was a TINY amount of drizzle. So light in fact was this "rain", that you could easily walk in it for half an hour and still be more or less dry.

I'm not kidding when I say at LEAST one out of every two people had their umbrella out, to keep them dry. FFS, you wont get wet anyway, but no, you now have to walk along the street, taking up more than twice as much room on the narrow pavements, while you make it your fking missions to see how many eyes you can impale on the spikes of the wretched things.

In a less than 10 minute walk, I was very nearly hit in the face by one of these utter cretins at least 4 times. In the end, I was practically forced to shove them umbrella out of my face with my hands... no doubt had I had to resort to such tactics I would have been given abuse, as seems to be common these days when you react to someone in the wrong.

Fair enough, if it is actually raining, but it seems these days these cocks get them out as soon as a grey cloud appears in the sky...

Dont even get me started on blokes with brollies... I fully expect to get flamed, but what they hell: Call yourselves men? Its a bit of water FFS! Whats wrong? Will it mess up your £30 Toni & Guy haircut?

And PLEASE, dont even get me started on the state of the roads tonight after a little bit of drizzle. Horrendous traffic jams everywhere as numpties everywhere panic and glue their noses to the windscreen rage

Depends on the situation and what you are wearing. If you are in a suit and meeting a client then you would like to present youself in the best way possible, not looking like a drowned rat.

Meeting freinds to go surfing then no.

A gentleman should never be without his black umbrella. Most useful for poking the poor out of the way.
