opening an umbrella inside did you know

it’s believed in the u.s. that opening

an umbrella while inside a building will

bring bad luck this superstition most

likely stems from pure pragmatism

umbrellas used to be larger and more

unwieldy so opening them inside tends to

result in broken things and accidents

bringing an already opened umbrella

inside however is totally fine hey wait

till we’re outside don’t you know it’s

bad luck to open an umbrella indoors
