It’s the SUV of rain protection.people that use these sidewalk-wide umbrellas are assholes, and i stab them in the eye with my nimble little pocket umbrella. bigger isnt always better.
but most of the time it is.
or: if you use one of these gigantors, please get used to everyone else with normal-sized umbrellas passive-agressively flicking rain at you off their human-sized umbrellas as you are forced to raise your where the wild things are-sized jerkshield to accomodate bipedal transit.
a grip i knew a long time ago would fake an eye-poke on the sidewalk just to grab one of those big tarp-on-a-sticks out of the hands of whoever and break it over his knee. he particually hated the bulk-import $10 (sunshine price) 16-rib black one with the wooden j-handle.
