Umbrella cleptomania
In this country you can leave a four hundred dollar camera sitting on a cafe table all day long and it will not, I repeat NOT, be touched.
An umbrella on a rainy day on the other hand...
Well yesterday I decided to 'test fate' by leaving my umbrella up in its stand while I was at Starbucks... was not touched - and I was touched by humanity.
Then I moved on to Tokyu Hands (a half a block away) for a brief shop it WAS stolen. They even took the time to unscrew the umbrella holder... douche bags...Damn it all. Luckily I found a bigger better one laying on the sidewalk - so swiped THAT! Ha! Karma! And MY cheapo umbrella was full of holes due to me stuffing it into the back of my bike.
However once I got home and parked my bike - with the umbrella "safely" stored in the back of my bike... or so I thought... it was stolen again the next morning! CURSES!
I know it's minor, but it's so damn infuriating! I mean CLEARLY if it's raining and an umbrella is ON SOMEONES GODSDAMNED BIKE then it belongs to THEM and THEY are using it! YARG! Assholes.
O well. At least it was cheap. And full of holes.
I hope you fall in a puddle. *grumble*
