I’m sick and tired of these stupid clear umbrellas. Am I really the only one who has had to dodge past these ignorami because they can’t see where they’re walking since they’ve stuck their head up side the umbrella thinking “it’s clear, I’ll be able to see through it!” I’ve got one word for you people, condensation. It makes it nigh on impossible to see through anything plastic that you’ve got wrapped around your head. I understand that you’re all water soluble and you’d melt if you had a normal or god forbid, no, umbrella, but just do me one favour, and fuck off.
