SlinkyKat	Posted - 27 September 2005 : 2:54:56 PM Don't do that! Open an umbrella indoors and bad luck will "rain" on you. But why? There are two schools of thought: The most common stems from the days when umbrellas were used mainly as protection against the sun. To open one indoors would be to insult the local sun god (especially Ra) and invite his wrath on everyone in your household. Another theory borrows from the idea of an umbrella as a protector against the storms of life. If you were to open one in your home, the household guardian spirits might think you felt their protection was insufficient, and then they'd leave in a huff. Once again, everyone in the house is cursed. "Pleased to meet you/Hope you guess my name"
UnknownLoser	Posted - 27 September 2005 : 11:49:05 AM All of the old people still follow this tradition religiously! My whole life they've made it clear it's forbidden to open an umbrella in the house. They have actully taken the umbrella away when I was about to open it, only to take it outside and open it. I think this superstition is stupid. >-< Even my parents do it. You know what, when I have kids, I will say 'OPEN your umbrella in the house!' If you open it outside you'll be in troubble. Haha.
SlinkyKat	Posted - 09 September 2005 : 12:40:40 PM "Dropping an umbrella on the floor means that there will be a murder in the house." Uh-oh....I drop my umbrella all the time. Guess I better move - fast! "Pleased to meet you/Hope you guess my name"
