Yeah,
YOU
, the person who stole my red Family Mart umbrella from the Alleycat’s umbrella rack. I just bought that beauty yesterday. Only used it one time. Hope you enjoy it.
Merry Kissmas!
Maybe you can write a story about it, and leave out the bit where you found you left it at home ?
That’s the prize for getting Time’s Person of the Year.
Look on the bright side.
Perhaps you could merge this thread with this one.

I think you are being harshly judgemental here. People who take umbrellas aren’t necessarily the cruel, heartless people you are making them out to be. 
Hope you get your brolly back.

Steal the umbrella from your roommate, she’s got the same one. Problem solved.
I didn’t say the umbrella thief was cruel and heartless. I’m not judgemental like that. I just wanted to wish that M*?!er- F*&#er a Merry Kissmas.
Merry Kissmas to you to Stray Dog! :candycane:
Yes they are. It’s this kind of wishy-washy liberal moral relativism that is destroying good old-fashioned values. You’ll be blaming society, next.
I EARN the money to buy my umbrellas. Only to have them stolen by feckless wasters who have never done a day’s work in their worthless lives.
Or, even worse, by STRAIGHT HAIRED people who have no concept of what it like to be caught in drizzle and have to go through their entire day with severe frizz. Bring back the birch!
(to the fker who took my Doraemon umbrella from outside SongZhi Road Starbucks; you’d better be picking the name label off it as we speak cos I will strike you down if I see it.)
Where is the name label exactly?

Wait 'til I get my laser vision. Just you wait.
You had pizza and didn’t invite me…
I always thought in Taiwan that umbrellas in the bucket by the door were freely given and taken. Like those give-a-penny-take-a-penny dishes by the cash register in the USA.
HAHAHAHA short answer: NO !!!
i remember the time in a heavy rain when i was soo pleased that MY Umbrella was near its end days and surely IT wouldnt be the one taken in the midst of so many nicer ones? WRONG!! the thief thought his harm would be less if he took the one that was just bout done.
but i got just as wet from not having that umbrella as i wouldve if my umbrella had been new.
Oh, sorry, I thought the thread was called…you know…
Hey erhu,
I think its a case of ‘leave a brolly, take a brolly.’ Yours may not be there but … go for it, take another brolly.
Don’t sweat the brolly.
Why can’t they make an umbrella with a little combination lock attached to the handle?
Blue skies and no signs of rain down here in the center of the isle. Ah, life is good.
It seems to me that I saw a rack for LOCKING your umbrellas once. I think maybe it was in Japan. Like this one.
“feckless”
just beautiful, buttercup. haven’t seen that for a while.
how about curmudgeonly? or perhaps lissome?
not as synonyms, just as ‘old near forgotten friends’.
and it was a doraemon umbrella. nearly as special as an astro boy one.

I’ve seen one in Taipei. Think it was at the Pariss (yes, I spelt that right) restaurant.
