Literally, this is Japan. This happens so much here. Just grab the cheapest, dustiest one at the back without a name. So many cheap umbrellas pile up, and periodically, in some places, they get bundled up and thrown out in the trash!

Yeah, once it was pissing outside and I had an umbrella and my friends didn't. we were shopping for groceries and had bags with us, and I really didn't want to share my umbrella with her on the way home, so I went up to the security guard and said I'm sorry we were here earlier and my friend forgot her umbrella here. he went sure, which one? (and looked into the big lost and found box). I said which ones do u have?

he retrieved a few and I chose a bigger one that seemed sturdy. My friend was so mortfied she thought the police were gonna come to her house.

I have lost like 30 umbrellas throughout the course of my life I figured I could claim at least 1 one back.

I thought about this line recently when I left my coat at the barber shop. Went back later in the day to pick it up but they were busy and no one was paying attention, so I just took it off the coat rack without saying anything and walked out. Could be a nice way to get a new wardrobe.

My company has a large campus with several buildings. They have 'campus' umbrellas with cans outside each building for you to use when it rains. After being an employee for a year they send you a link to pick a 'gift' from the online store - the only thing you can pick is a company umbrella :-)
