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
