Sharing umbrellas with strangers

[9V-Orion Images]

If Umbrellas are meant to be shared they will be in rectangular shape and have two handles.

I saw something similar in a novelty shop but instead of two handles, it actually have two "supporting columns" to a single handle holding up what seems like two separate "ribs" of canopy.

Went to collect some thing after night shift on monday morning. As sunday night is raining, I got my umbrella (this word, been learning to spell as I hardly use, haha!) with me. Went to collection area and have my breakfast, as was having, I saw a woman without umbrella. Oh yes, my chance to know a woman, heh heh! Out of sudden, another guy also stand there. Alamak! how!? He also no umbrella. In the end, I also just go ahead without asking either of them. Unless there isn't anyone or area is remoted, I will help else forget it. Wait that woman think I want to "molest" her as got another man without umbrella too. haha!

You: "I think you need this more than I do."

<Hands over umbrella to the lady and stare at the rain...>

Lady: "Oh thanks! How can I return it?"

<Pause and think... Hands over name card...>

You: "At your convenience, ma'm. Merry Christmas!"

Several days later...

You could have given your umbrella to the guy for him to get "help" while you accompany the lady....

would you open up your umbrella, assuming it is drizzling and you only need to cover about 100m? and of course the umbrella is those foldable ones which you keep in your bag?

Sometimes I dun even bother and just run...

Well... to me, it's a stupid thing....
