Are you willing to share your umbrella with a stranger?

[eve55]

If it rains cats and dogs suddenly outside a shop, and you've got an umbrellla and about to go when you see a man standing in the doorway,

will you kindly share your umbrella with him or think it's none of your business and just go away?

[bbi1]

If he's standing in the doorway he's blocking the way. I'd kindly ask him to step aside and offer the hot girl next to him to share my umbrella with me.

My dear mother in-law, what are you doing standing alone in the doorway in the rain - just go home!

 

NB: Actually I have the worlds greatest mother in-law.

I would be more likely to share it with a woman.

What about a ladyboy?

On a rainy afternoon In Kyoto, a woman once ran out into the street to give me an umbrella.

Don't bother with umbrella's l just get back in my double parked car.

No! I said a woman, but I suppose I could make a mistake.

If it was raining cats and dogs I would be more concerned about stepping in a poodle.

I see such kind behavior may owned by many Japanese people.

Yeah, why not. It's  a case of opposite sex attraction.  a

[swissie]

Strange. Most people are not hesitating to share/exchange body fluids. So why not share an umbrella?
Cheers.

Tell em to wait 5 minutes one of those entrepreneurial Thais that sell umbrellas every time it rains is sure to be along soon.

It was only years afterwards that it dawned on me that perhaps she had given me the umbrella with the expectation that I would return it when the rain stopped. But her kindness remains one of my favorite travel memories.
