People, People, It's Just Water
Why are people so afraid of getting water on themselves when it's raining. Sure, when it's raining hard, it makes sense to use your umbrella, but when there is a light rain, must you open it right away? Can you not wait until you've fully exited the stairs of the subway before opening it? Must you poke the people behind you with the spokes of the umbrella or spray us with water as you open it?
Sure, I don't have a hairstyle that can be ruined by rain, but I don't think 10 seconds of drizzle is going to ruin your less than precious hair either.

I love the lines that people cause exiting the subways when they pause to open their umbrellas.

I also appreciate when fellow passengers keep their umbrellas open while descending into the subway, pausing to close it while still on the stairs.

oh you would be surprised what 10 seconds of rain can do to my hair. or even 5 seconds of mist. But of course I am also very mindful of people around me and don't stab people with my umbrella or open it in their faces
