To wish that parents wouldn't use an umbrella in the playground when its raining?

[MaureenMLove]

Th waiting area in our school is small enough, without having to play dodge the umbrella. You can't see the children coming out over the tops and often get a trickle of rain water down your collar from someone standing next to you! Today, I have an injury! Some soppy moo, who had already hacked someone off, prodded me in the head with one of the spokes and drew blood, fgs!

Its not a bloody fashion parade, put a bloody hat or or wear a hood!

Rant over!

well, i would use a hat, but often they absorb water, and or it drips down your neck and if i wear my hood up, i actually cannot see out from under it.. sorry you got hurt though

Grr! Fair point! how about one of those plastic fold away ones, like the oldies have when they've been for their blue rinse!

rofl @ umbrella rage

or a plastic rain hat!

You need to hand out some of these

Yes, you are barking

if you don't want to get prodded, watch where you're going fgs

Oh poor Mo

I hope you gave her what for!

Blimey, the audacity at those peole using umbrellas when its raining.......shocking

You can't move for gooddamn umbrellas, even if you are watching where you are going, looking out for 3 children, pushing a pram and holding the hand of a toddler!

I will however, concede that IABU, when my head stops hurting!

oops, meant to add a on the end of my post.

Urm, yes YABU. Umbrellas are designed for rainy days. It's not a crime to use one.

AND, just to add insult to injury, its now absolutely chucking it down, and I've got to do the same trip to collect mindee from after school club! God forbid anyone hacks me off, I'm on the edge! I feel like Michael Douglas in that film Falling Down, when he goes on the rampage with a riffle because he's had a bit of a bad day!

You need a nice one like royality have, birdcage style, so you can see through and the spokes point down this

Sadly, I don't have enough hands to hold an umbrella, which is probably why I'm p*ssed off. Its probably !

I find umbrellas far more hassle then they are worth. A good rain coat is far better and doesn't usually injure anyone.

YANBU.

hat, or hood.
umbreellas are compeltely useless things ime

YABU LOL

Yay! Thats two people who agree with me! Now, where's Kbear?, she'll stick up for me!

It's only rain. I don't understand why some people are so terrified of it. Fear of drowning? Melting? Misunderstood reports of acid rain?

I don't even own an umbrella. If it rains, I get wet. I have yet to suffer injury.

I have an aversion to umbrellas. YANBU.

I always use an umbrella

I agree as I think sometimes people don't use them with courtesy to other people.

I've got just the thing for you Maureen

YANBU I hate unbrellas

my hair hates rain.

I look like Noddy Holder even when it gets a bit humid.
