This was kinda amusing...Today I was instructed by a store lady on how to properly carry my umbrella.
I went into this little giftshop to get my friend Kelly a shotglass, and there were lots of umbrellas hanging up. I´d just come in out of the rain and didn´t intend to be in there long, so my umbrella was closed but not wrapped up. I decided to make small talk and commented to the store lady "Tienes muchísimos paragruas" ("you have a lot of umbrellas," observant, I know). And she said, "Sí, pero tenemos más en octubre. Y estás llavando mal el tuyo" (Yes, but we have more in October. And you´re carring yours wrong.) She proceeded to explain how by carring it that way, I could catch it on stuff and break it, and that I should wrap it up safely.
I left the store laughing, because of the sheer randomness of having a conversation with a stranger about how to properly carry an umbrella...
