A tidbit sent to me through thar interwebs from J Q:

It doesn't rain much where I live, but when it does rain it comes down in buckets. As a result most folks are caught without umbrellas, forced to scramble from covered-sidewalk to covered-sidewalk lest they get drenched. Now enter those inconderate idiots who are lucky enough to have an umbrella... and then proceed to walk with it fully open even under a covered sidewalk, forcing everyone else to deviate around them into the rain. Honestly, these a-holes deserve to have the 381 bus hit a huge puddle right beside them. Let's see your umbrella keep you dry now, jerk. Seriously if you have your own personal roof you should show a little consideration.
