Observer

In a rainy day, one fun thing I have, is to watch people to see how they hold their umbrellas above their heads! Except for those people who have BIG umbrellas which can cover two or three persons, what I observe most of the times are people with dry cloths in front and WET at the back! The reason is probably that most of us just care about things we can see with our eyes. Therefore, we hold the umbrella too much in front to avoid getting wet but we forget that we need to protect the back side as well!

Next time you walk in the street in a rainy day, look around to see for how many out there, having or not having an umbrella doesn’t make a difference.

P.S. New York Times had an article on this issue long time ago. Unfortunately the article is not available anymore.
