Poked in the eye by an umbrella
On a rainy day, have you ever travelled to the office by train or bus? Have you ever nearly had your eye poked out by some 'git' who isn't watching where they're waving their umbrealla around? Somebody disarm them please!

It’s that time of year again when city workers like me dread the trip into work on rainy days as we battle through crowds of other commuters carrying deadly weapons.

| 24-4-2010 | Terry, I tend to follow your method. Or I just bat the umberella out the way. | Chris. |
| 04-1-2010 | I hope health and safety ban umbrellas. If they ban harmless flowerpots hanging from your wall, then I'm sure they should ban the DANGEROUS umbrella. | Terry |
| 02-8-2009 | When it's raining I prefer not to use an umbrella. It gets in the way of other people! | Terry |
| 22-7-2009 | when I see someone coming towards me with an umbrella I have a perfect method for making sure they do not prod me in the eye.I raise my elbows to adjust my hood,making sure my elbows Knock the offending brolly clear out of the way. | Mr Hicks |
| 30-1-2009 | Help !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BROLLY ATTACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Help, Take cover run for the hills!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They strike without warning on rainy days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(Uhh, how perfetic, the writer of this aertical is a total turd.) | The weekly gripe editors are fussy |
| 06-8-2008 | Sod poverty - get a job. In another country, that's for our government, and unless you've got oil we don't care.
I'm 6'2 and an umbrella is a lethal eye taking out weapon held by short silly people who will get wet anyway. Hell, it's water. Why are you so scared of it? | Nick |
| 25-5-2007 | Oh come on. You can gripe about anything you like and the subject matter is personal.
Some people don't think smoking is a problem and who cares about teenagers getting pregnant. I don't give a rats if the CSA are hounding you - run faster. Starving people should be less picky... Got ripped off by a garage? Well get on your bike you lazy bum! You're wife's left you and your brother is having an afair with his uncle, who gives damn.
You get the picture? The gripe is personal and an umberalla that nearly takes your eye out is something that annoys somebody! | Me |
| 24-5-2007 | I simply cannot believe you are argueing about this!! there are far bigger issues going on in the world. Parliment < poverty < starving people. | no name |
| 13-4-2006 | I've long held the opinion that an umbrella is in fact a deadly weapon in the hands of an untrained operator. Sadly this seems to include the vast majority of the populace. . . | White Knight |
| 15-3-2006 | It has to be said though, some amusing sights on a wet windy day, watching the city goers umbrellas turning inside out while they try to look all posh and all. | michael caine |
| 07-11-2005 | I'm not a fan of umbrellas personally, a little water never hurt anyone. | CC |
| 01-11-2005 | I have a collection of rare umbrellas, several from the late 1800's and a few early 1900's, it is surprising how many designs have emerged since the 19th century. The early ones would be lethal weapons today, in the crowds that we have. I dread to think how many eyes would be gouged out in this day and age with the early designs. | Brollyman |
