It's been two days of rain here in NYC and the only thing I hate more than rain in the city is people who lose all ability to navigate themselves in this miserable weather. The slightest bit of drizzle and people lose their minds. Instead of walking like normal people, everyone is rushing to get indoors, fearful that the rain will somehow cause them to disintegrate. And by rushing and pushing forward without regard for other people, someone has the potential of losing an eye to a massive golf umbrella being toted by a man (it is always a man).
So I say, let's be rational here and forget the umbrellas! Go buy a pair of rain boots and a hooded rain slicker and call it a day. The narrow sidewalks of New York are not built for people with monster brellies. Everyone bumps into each other. Everyone gets a bit grumpier. The work day starts off on the wrong foot. The rain boot will be our savior. The sidewalks will clear a bit. The mood, despite the bad weather, will lighten and temporary blindness due to umbrella incidents will lower significantly.
