There is nothing shameful in umbrella purchase, no matter the weather.
Unless you're naked and your only option is to buy an umbrella to cover yourself with.
Or you happen to be dressed as The Penguin.
Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Do you avoid buying food because you are hungry at the time? I don't understand the source of the shame.

My work folk have to make a terminal change on an international flight with only 1 hour layover.
Do they have to go through customs?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
necessity should override pride when an umbrella is needed.
I don't need an umbrella. I've not yet been presented with a scenario where my top layer isn't waterproof, so we're just talking hair--and even when I had more than 3mm of it, it was never pressing.
It's just a convenience.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I go through phases of refusing to carry an umbrella. I hate trying to guess the weather and if I'll need it, and not leaving it places, and really, I'm not made of sugar! Now I carry one all the time, so I don't have to remember it, it just lives in my bag.

A reader sent me an example of religious kitsch, but just to be on the safe side, I'm going to have to put it below the fold. There's nothing obscene about the work in question, but I dare you to look at it and not have wildly inappropriate thoughts skitter through your brain.
Oh, dear.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Allyson time can be had! Perhaps potato balls can be broughten.

Well not exclusively, I figure you are also made of spice and everything nice.
