Since i have freckles and such i try to proctect myself from the sun, by using an umbrella. Anyways one day when i was with my mum and we were holding an umbrella.. a rude person said "wtf you carrying a umbrella when its not raining?!!". Even though i don't see anything wrong with protecting your skin from the sun harmful rays. Well, do any of you guys hold an umbrella to protect yourself against the sun? and do you find it annoying or weird if someone holds an umbrella ?

The person who stated that comment was obviously rude. Don't pay him/her any attention. I don't see anything wrong with using an umbrella when it's sunny outside. When I know I'm going to be outside, I carry a small umbrella with me. I'm currently on Tazorac (retinoid) and antibiotics that make me sensitive to the sun.. So, I'm pretty pale. Using an umbrella is a must for me.

omg. i do. everywhere. i feel bad because it takes up so much room and im short so people walk around me haha.
my close friends that i go shopping with a lot got used to it but people still look at me weird.

[alligatortears]

i personally don't.
i think it's a hassle carrying around an umbrella,
even when it is raining..

[coat]

I did this morning.
My neighbors thought I was a creeper. D:
But at least it's shielding you from the sun. :]

Yep that person who said that was really annoying and it made me wonder if its wrong to carry an umbrella.. i wear spf 30 sunscreen as well when i'm outside to get extra protection : ]

^____^
Yeah, who cares if they stare?
: 3 aha, i'm tall so people don't get in the way .

I see lots of old ladies in chinatown doing it. Eh . But I haven't really seen young adults doing it. I dunno.

I'm sure everyone knows Michael Jackson utilized an umbrella when there was a lot of sun exposure So yeah. It's not weird. Just do what you think is right for you, not how others think about it.

[xWeeeAmandaa]

There's already another thread on this..

But anyways I don't. Even though I have lupus, I just wear a whole bunch of sunscreen.
I'm pale enough already (BECAUSE of lupus >_>)
I think I'd look half dead if I was any paler =.=

[cutebublebear]

^ true i sometimes see quite a few ladies holding an umbrella : ) and it feels like i have company and as for the others i feel abit self consious because the probably think i'm crazy :S

[roartehgoar]

I don't carry an umbrella. but I would carry a Parasol since they are made for blocking the sun, and they look nicer.

[cutebublebear]

^ oh there is another thread on this??

[JayOchibi]

I would definitely use it... IF I have a good umbrella.

The umbrella I got is quiet embarrassing xD

[AiMango]

lol you do it in asia but not in north america.. my mom used to do that. but yeah itd be too embarrassing for me : P plus im already really pale and i rather be a little tan ==

[angel_cutie]

lol~ this person was like the same to me
i was crossing the street and this guy yelled out of his car
"ITS RAINING!!!!"obviously it wasnt XDD but it was scorching hot
so i said "YUP! it is "

i wish i acutally had thouse UV umbrella's though
you know the ones with silver colouring on the inside? :3

[i__coOkiesx3]

lol my mom carries an umbrella all the time when its super sunny outside.
dont worry, those jerkfaces who yell rude comments are nothing but a bother.
protecting yourself from the rays are a must(:

[angelZ]

I never carrried an umbrella when I was in Canada...
But now that I'm here in HK, everyone does it and it really does help with protecting your skin against the sun!

[HEHE-productions]

I just got back from China, and everyone there uses an umbrella.

UV rays are present outside, even when you aren't under direct sunlight, but an umbrella help against direct damage.

[playedescapade]

I would now. Despite there being lot of Asians back in hawaii where I used to live, I avoided using an umbrella because I felt like a fobby old lady doing it. lol.

[mopwns]

I don't do it when I'm at home in Canada,
but I'll do it when I'm in Hong Kong or South Korea for a visit.
When in Rome...!
