AIBU to feel very hatey towards

[mimps]

the man using one of those MAHOOSIVE IKEA umbrellas at the fireworks display tonight?

Got right in my way and everytime he turned and moved great rivulets of water ran over the poor people standing next to him.

OK, it's persistently raining.

Yes, lots of people had umbrellas, but mainly teeny tiny ones, or (how very courteous of them) those see-through ones.

But OH NO....Not the man in front of me. ON HIS OWN it seems.....

grrrrrr

off to open the wine now

I'd ban umbrellas, come the revolution. I seem to be just the right height [shortarse] to be systematically assaulted in the face/eye by the spokes of everyone else's brollies. Tall people, small children, it doesn't matter. :(

So YANBU at all.

YADNBU! I hate umbrellas too. Mainly because like OldLady, I'm a shortarse, but I was the one who used to get sworn at for damaging other people!

I've given up now and wear my fantastic Tilley Hat.

However, I've got a problem - the DSs want blardy umbrellas for Christmas and they didn't have them last year so have gone on and on about having them all year. How quickly can I they get broken?

I would have repeatedly bumped it...by accident of course. I hate people like that! Umbrellas dont belong in crowds!

Firstly and most importantly, pour me a wine please Mimps.

Secondly, yes it is very selfish and YANBU.

I would have tapped him on the shoulder and asked him if he wouldn't mind stepping out of the fucking way you selfish bugger way please.

If that didn't work I would have passed him an 'unlit' sparkler [devil]

HTH.

I can't stand those golf umbrellas so BFN...Big For Nuffin

i too am (passes wine round btw) vertically challenged ie short arse, but could never work out how to use a bloody umbrella effectively anyway.....do you hold it over your shoulder tilting backwards in manner of 1970's hairspray commercial so you can see where you're going or do you hold it directly over your head, so you can't see in front of your face?

either way, they almost ruined my evening.....

hahaha..short-arses ..ahhh freeness

*retracts wine from Mumcentreplus unless she rescinds the short-arse giggles

I never own one for more than 24 hours and irrationally hate those smug folk who have always got one secreted on their person just in case whilst I am piss wet through.

ok ok...(realises she's a slave to free wine)

tops up glass

When I used to try using a brolly, I found myself hyper-aware of Other People, so spent the whole time lifting it up, popping it over to the side, even dropping it down completely. I gave upon them all together, and I wish everyone else would too!

oopss... as the wine is flowing I'm feeling even more hatey towards that arsehole

Yes I agree - a chav just there -for the men female football supporter sat in front of me in stand - we were near the front so rain blowing in and reaching us despite roof - when she put an umbrella up .

Dont think so love - not paid around £50 for our seats to count how many spokes on your brolley for 90 minutes. She put it down quicker than she put it up - [assertive Suda emoticon]

Selfish selfish sociopaths everywhere - completely oblivious to other peoples needs.

Shoot them all.
