Umbrellas are about as long lived as something. I guess that’s why they litter the streets after a storm like civil war casualties, broken and forgotten.
Maybe people would hold on to their umbrellas if light breezes didn’t make them flip inside out, and their handles weren’t the leading cause of carpal tunnel syndrome. Is it just not profitable to design an umbrella that people can hold for more than 5 minutes without contemplating getting soaked to the bone instead of constantly trying less painful ways to hold their umbrella? At least make it bigger than the width of two fingers, so my whole hand can grasp it! Just don’t make the handle have the dimensions of a can of tuna fish.
Maybe I should just get one of these.
