Rain, rain, go away
I was walking to school in the rain the other day when I stopped at a crosswalk. The light changed, and as I walked across, I saw a person on the other side of the street holding an umbrella tightly to the top of her head. Because of how close she was holding her umbrella, she couldn’t see anything and nearly walked right into me.
The purpose of having an umbrella is to prevent any rain from getting on you. I understand that. But what point is there to the umbrella when you hold it in such a way where your field of vision is blocked and you can’t see where you’re going? A couple of rain drops won’t kill you, so why the hell won’t these people hold their umbrellas up higher? Why do some people act like rain hitting them could lead to death? It’s like they don’t understand that rain is just water.
That reminds me, in China everyone uses umbrellas to shade themselves from the sun. If a couple drops of rain won’t kill you, neither will some rays of sun. It was so annoying. I almost lost an eye multiple times.
