    Stay calm and open it!

    Moving fast through the rain will actually just make you more wet. Standing still is better.

    the coif is the important thing for me as a female (polyester blend suits will dry off in a hurry) so first I'd look to see if I had a rainhat or plastic bag to place on my hair, and then it depends on how hard it's raining as to if I would open the umbrella or not. Either way I'd be dashing for shelter while I'm searching or opening.

    If I'm caught in it, I'm caught in it, Might as well enjoy the rain and get nice and wet. Then I'd give my umbrella to somebody who wanted one. :)

    But honestly at first I would do the "Oh no it's raining" shrug where I shrug up my shoulders and pretend that will somehow help me not get wet. Then I'll consider stayin in the rain and just let it be with my head up high.

    Shelter if close by, so as to open umbrella. Otherwise, umbrella first.

    shelter immediatly so you dont get wet looking for the umbrella but if shelter is not near just get the umbrella

    Use the bag for shelter then run to an enclosed area so i don't get everything inside my bag wet

    Open it. Those without brollies will be the ones dashing for shelter - so why join a stampede if you don't have to.

    It depends. If shelter is close by, I'll run for it. If it's far away I'll pull my umbrella ela ela ela eh eh (I like the umbrella song he he) out.
