I visited Japan and was caught in the rain with no umbrella. I hid next to an awning near a school. A person came out from inside and offered me to take an umbrella from the numerous ones that were left by the people inside.
I suspect "communal property" is a better way to think of what happens with umbrellas than "umbrella thieves".
- ultrasaurus 7y agoI was in Japan last week and I can confirm that I forgot every umbrella I used -- I hope you got one of mine.
- darkerside 7y agoMy family of 5 was caught walking back to our AirBNB in pouring rain during a trip to Tokyo. A man ran out of a FamilyMart (think 7-11), chased us down, and handed us umbrellas for the entire family. My first thought was, how nice of this gentleman to do this for complete strangers. My second thought, how cheap am I for not walking my family in the store to buy the damn umbrellas myself?!
