One in each car, and the same problems as rita! One in the big boat because if all the gkids are with us everyone won't fit under the top. DH has a golf umbrella that has probably never been used. He can't bother with things like that. :)

I have one, it lives in my car. I can't even remember when the last time I used it might have been. As a rule, I just don't go anywhere if it is raining very much. I don't bother with an umbrella in light sprinkles. Rain happens so seldom around here. . . . . . .

I probably have 4 or 5. This is the Washington coast ;0) If 'everyone' would just leave them alone, I'd know where they are - and that would be within reach.

DH happily keeps my car spotless inside and out. I know - I'm lucky ;0) But he has the habit of putting any umbrellas in the very back of my SUV out of reach, then I have to get out in the rain, get wet while I open the back to retrieve one. Garage is attached so I don't need it leaving or returning, and I don't think to look until I'm in a parking lot in pouring rain someplace.

Or, he has a new truck with bells and whistles, like climate controlled leather seats, making it as comfortable as my car. He prefers it for most freeway driving, so we've been using it when going someplace together. He's always had a work truck. With this one and starting to use it for personal driving, I never have an umbrella in it. Or my sunglasses. Or Kleenex, or Tylenol, pad and pen, all the little things I can find in my own car.

Two standard black ones in the coat closet and I have a portable pop up that I keep in the car during wet weather. It's not supposed to be wet here right now so it is in the "my seasonal stuff" area in the house. But today I experienced showers, warm sunshine, chill winds and HAIL all within two hours while up at the ranch.

I rarely use an umbrella anyway. Just make a run for it or put up a hood.

Half a dozen or so. One lives permanently in the car and another fold up one in my handbag, plus I have acquired several on holidays away when the weather turned wet and I hadn't brought one :-)

Too many! Two in each car, two in coat closet, one at foyer coat rack, one in garage.

We also have two huge umbrella's we use for sunburn protection while watching little league baseball.

Three. My boss and I have the same system and didn't find that out until this year. We've worked together fourteen years?! I have one that gets me from the house to the car (or in reverse) in my purse, one in the car that gets me to/from wherever I've gone, and one at work to use if it rains after I've gotten to work.

Two. One n the car, and one in the coat closet.

Oh a thought, got one more, oh, no, two more... LOL but they are sun umbrellas. One in the garage and one in the coat closet.

All four magically go back to their individual spots after they saw action. :)

Moni

One. It is a bright cheerful polka dot and rarely used. Our precipitation is usually frozen.

Several. I have at least 2 in my car, one in the truck I know about. A couple of large ones in the garage, one tiny one in my suitcase, and probably a couple of others I have forgotten about.

I live just outside Seattle and it is a well-known fact that Seattlites scorn the use of any umbrellas! LOL! Typically that's how one tells the tourists from the natives - tourists carry them; natives don't :-) Actually, rainfall here is so light (typically just a persistent drizzle) that an umbrella is more of a cumbersome annoyance than a useful item. And when we do get the infrequent heavy rain, it is almost always accompanied by strong winds that blow umbrellas inside out.

Having said that, I do own one - a large golf type umbrella that resides in the back of my SUV - but I can't remember when I last used it. And a large portion of my work takes place outdoors!

I also find umbrellas more of an encumbrance than useful. I own two, but rarely use them.

Oh No...my clutter secret. :) I have 3 plain black ones...2 of the really small

ones that are easy to carry. A flowered one in the side pocket of my car...in

case I can't find any of the 3 plain black ones. A golf umbrella that was my

DH's (never played golf...not sure where he got it), and a huge one that has

advertising on it (in case I am really lost and can't find one of the black ones,

the flowered one, or the golf umbrella).

Five. 1 red plaid, 1 green plaid and 1 solid black in the umbrella stand, and a leopard print in the car. A school logo umbrella one in the garage.

We have 4, two of the small compact ones in the vehicles (mine is floral, his is black) and two in the coat closet. My favorite is the one we bought at the zoo when a sudden downpour caught us off guard, it's colorful and features giraffes and tigers.

2, both in my car. One has cats and the other is a red medallion

Two bright pink pop-ups in the car and those would fit in my purse, two larger ones in the house.

I own a compact one that I keep in the car and another large one that I bought on a whim that lives in the garage. I'm not sure the large one has ever been used. I bought it because it has a handle that's supposed to fit around your arm so that your hands are free, but it doesn't work on me.

I have at least six. I like the colorful or funky ones. My newest is a colorwheel - love it. I also have two parasols. I won't be needing those any time soon. Dang.

I don't usually bother with umbrellas unless it's pouring. I do use the hoods on my raincoats and jackets, though.

I do have sunbrellas, though! When out in the boat, or anywhere else in the hot sun, I won't be without a UV reflective and cooling umbrella....what a huge difference in temperature!

1 in the car, and 1in the house, that at this time of year lives mostly hung on a chair just outside the door so I can use it to go to the mail box , and it can then drip out side.(I also live in the PNW. but not Seattle.)

1 large clear bell shaped one in the car, a small navy blue one under the truck seat, and a couple of regular sized hanging on the back door coat rack.

We have one. ONE. We had more but somehow they disappeared, except for the one, which also happens to be the one with the handle on the end that comes off entirely because it broke and had to be glued back (obviously not effectively) and one of the metal spokes underneath can get twisted just slightly if the wind is strong and hits the underside enough to flip the umbrella inside out (or would it be inside UP?).

I keep meaning to buy at least one other umbrella, but usually forget about it until they have stopped appearing in stores on prominent display. When we start getting severe thunderstorms as happens each year I know that an umbrella won’t do much good against HAIL. If the hail is big enough, car windshields and car windows won’t be much help either. Lol

I have three, I don't know how many my DH has but I have three and they are all in the car. I'm north of Seattle and it always rains (it's only mid April and we've broken the average rain for the month record) and sometimes the clothing of choice, gortex, just isn't enough.

Lots!!! Two in car, multiple ones in the house. Most are not worth a lick in a blinding rain with wind.

We have a bunch in the garage, but I keep a really sturdy one in my car. If I use it, I will let it dry open in the garage. Then I automatically put it with my handbag so that I remember to put it back in my car.

One smaller popup umbrella in the car and four others in the house. One is navy with colorful dots that I purchased when visiting a shopping center on a rainy day. But of course, by the time I went out again, the sun was shining! One red, one black and one brown with frilly edges that I bought at an umbrella store in Vancouver.

And why so many? I can’t say. Doesn’t include the travel minis, or slickers or old lady rain bonnet which is the only rain protection I truly use.

I live in Seattle too, about 20 min from downtown. You know it rains here all the time, right? I don't have any umbrellas. I don't know anyone who does.

Coming from the (mostly) dry prairies in the center of Canada, we aren't used to the rain. We were surprised when visiting Vancouver to see people calmly walking to their cars, etc. in the rain while we would be running for cover!

What's this rain stuff you guys keep talking about? haha I have one umbrella but rarely get to use it. :\

9 golf umbrellas. Those seem to be the only thing DH wins in tournaments. 3 ugly regular umbrellas, I lose the pretty ones.

I’m too afraid of the creepy crawlies likely to wind up hanging out in an umbrella should it be left in the garage opened to let it dry. The spiders are scarier out here and not the daddy long legs that a well positioned shoe easily handles. Nope, the ones here are burly and fast so even when you think that boot in your hand is going to get the one on your wall or floor, it’s not always the case. Then you’re stuck chasing it around, up, on, and behind furniture.

None.

I don't know ... there should be three or four in the house but I can only find one. I think.

I have collected umbrellas in our travels through Europe - most of them purchased in museums with images of paintings on the underside. Probably have 7 or 8. I have an umbrella stand next to our front door and they do get used in our winds and rains on Cape Cod.

I have three mini umbrellas. One in the car, and the other two, in the front closet. I use to have one in my purse, when I worked, to get from the parking lot, into the building. I buy ones, with lots of color.

I have 6 umbrellas. Two Kate Spade, one Pottery Barn, one ShedRain, and two Totes umbrellas (one is in the car).

A bunch of the smaller pop ups that the slightest wind will whip apart. I call them disposables. They were a promotional item so there's a logo on them. My son gave me a box of must be about 50. (Dont ask about the cases of child sized tooth brushes lol) And a few old fashioned ones with floral prints that belonged to my Aunt and a few nice big golf ones. The boys and I use the golf umbrellas when were at the bus stop if its raining which is about the only time we use umbrellas.

None. I have only owned one umbrella since I was a small child....I had a parasol then....I only know that because I had a picture of me with it. (sitting on the front porch in only my panties, holding it.)

I was going to a plant sale and it was pouring down rain. I stopped and bought an umbrella. Lot of good it did me....the rain was blowing sideways and I was soaked to the skin. I don't know what happened to that umbrella, but I never used it again and I have never owned another one. If it is raining and I can, I wait until it quits, or slacks before I go out.

I have one and I usually never know where it is but I found it the other day and have it sitting on my buffet near the front door.

I have two. One I've had for many years and it is broken. It is missing part of on of the veins, so it flops. But I use it all the time. The other I bought when I was at a store and it started to rain. I had to walk that day, so I bought the umbrella thinking it its larger size would keep me drier than my old one anyway. However, the newer big one catches too much wind and threatens to turn inside out. When it does catch the wind, I need to grab it with two hands, but I usually have a bag in one hand. So Keep using my old umbrella. It has been broken for at least eight years and now it actually has little holes breaking through at the vein joints. Waste not, want not. I won't get rid of it until it no longer works.

In my car I have a 99 cent rain poncho and also one in my backpack.
