Umbrella Fixation

This didn't really piss me off. I just found it odd today that I observed at least a half dozen people walking around Oakland during lunch hour with their umbrellas unfurled when it wasn't actually raining. I guess their thought process was as follows: You know the weather guy said it was going to rain today so I went through the trouble of bringing my umbrella to work so I'm gonna damn well use it even though it's not raining - so there!
