Enjoy the Monsoon Showers with the Basics of Umbrella Etiquette

With monsoon rains soaring high, an umbrella becomes a necessity. However, you must make sure that it is just an anti-rain device and not a weapon. You must use it properly so that it doesn’t hurt people near your vicinity and at the same time keep you dry. Following are a few guidelines on proper umbrella etiquette:

Be Size Wise-

No matter whether you are on a less crowded street or a crowded one, unless you are sharing your umbrella with anyone, always choose to use a medium sized one.

Stay Dry! Tips to the Heavenly Showers-

Umbrellas are meant for giving you shelter from those drenching droplets and hence should be held upright always. You must be mindful when looking up and avoid tilting your umbrella backwards. While walking against the blow of rain, do not tilt it forward. If by any case the blowing wind doesn’t allow you to follow these rules, opt for a raincoat or a cab ride instead.

Maneuvering is Necessary-

Even if you have a proper sized umbrella, a little maneuvering will be necessary particularly for a crowded city-walk. Individuals with a tall height are expected to raise their umbrella while approaching others.

Let Others Walk under Canopies-

Don’t thrash others who didn’t have the foresight to carry umbrellas; be polite and let them walk under canopies while you walk on the rain-exposed area.

Create it a “No-Cell-Phone Zone”-

Use of cell-phones can lead to frequent collisions for umbrella carriers. To avoid those annoying hits, create a no-phone-zone while walking and be mindful about your surroundings.

Don’t Drip, Just Tap a Bit-

Before entering indoors, step aside from the gateway and tap your umbrella a bit to avoid dripping to some extent. It would be appreciated if you put the closed umbrella in a holder to stop dripping completely.

No Fuss inside the Bus-

Remember no one wants to get wet on a rainy day. Before boarding a bus, tap your umbrella and put it inside the plastic holder to avoid dripping and wet others. Your umbrella hasn’t bought a ticket to occupy a seat and wet the surroundings. Better let it be inside.
