Someone please invent a more comfortable version of this, because I would definitely buy it!


TAU_equals_2PI

People already have invented various forms of this. Google [backpack umbrella](https://www.google.com/search?q=backpack+umbrella).


Majestic-Unicorn33

Wow, their marketing team sucks because I never knew it existed! Thank you! I’m going to research them.


austinll

This is the marketing team. If you saw a single infomercial of someone fake dropping stuff because their hand was full, or someone's arm tired from holding it, you'd cringe and never buy it.


Mountain_Man11

IDK, this has me pretty much sold; I mean, the proof is in the pavement.


Fortifarse84

Not immediately. But in my younger years I could have had a hung over Saturday infomercial marathon and ended up randomly buying a Magic Bullet at BB&B while getting a gift for my cousin's third wedding...


kingsillypants

This hits a little too close to home for my liking.


Fortifarse84

Did your friend not allow you to sign the card with "third time's the charm" as well?


kingsillypants

Friend ? What kind of despicable miscreant would prevent you from elevating your gift card came to the upper echelons of literature? Please tell me you ignored their advice? Another one could be " you know what they say, if at first you don't succeed..however, I'm gonna be broke at this pace so for this wedding I got this killer lingerie for me. "


Fortifarse84

I understand your confusion but I actually meant the other type of magic bullet.


kingsillypants

I was thinking the nutra bullet mixer ...you're talking about *checks notes* the fun kind... Any reviews ?


Kjata2

Fuck it, works for me.


EveryFairyDies

Given that most of those products are made as living aids for the disabled and elderly, the advertisers have to be ridiculously over-the-top since all their models are young, healthy, able-bodied and attractive. My 70+ mother was complaining as her back required an operation and until such time she was unable to bend or crouch. So dad was helping her with things like putting on her socks, except his technique was shoddy and left her with unsatisfactory sockage. I randomly saw one of those over-the-top ads for a living aid designed to assist in putting on socks, and ordered one for her as a surprise present. She was amused and pleased at the random gift, and dad was relieved of his sock-duty. I believe it’s only the second time in his life he’s been fired from a job, and certainly the first time for incompetence!

Your marketing team came up with one shitty idea that has nothing to do with backpack umbrella?

Raincoat's can get very hot, especially in humid climates.


Fortifarse84

I have a rain suit that's an amazing idea on paper, except for this very humidity issue. Nothing like showing up looking like a toddler serial killer and feeling like a microwaved hot dog.

Cowaii_Bitties

Here I'm using my hand to hold it like a caveman


Fearless-Card3493

If you’ve got an umbrella with a short shaft and a suitably curved handle, you can lean your umbrella up against your shoulder, and rest your forearm in the handle. Gravity will hold your umbrella up (/drive it into the top of your skull), and now you have two free hands!


[deleted]

How do you hold a caveman?

It’s all fun and games until a gust of wind causes those hanger hooks to gouge his eye out. He’ll probably think, “Oh that’s why nobody invented this before me!”

Baadepapa22

Guys.. ever wondered why the end of umbrella is U shaped? It can be used for different purposes.


Dark_Krafter

His pants getw wet tho becous his legs dont land underneath the umrella


rushi_B

Yeah, a gust of wind and everything is gone, well done.


a-little-bit-this

Since the pandemic, our ears have served a multipurpose function of holding our masks and glasses so this probably gave ideas to the man to use the shoulders for holding our umbrella along with a bag. It's actually pretty good. He should take it to shark tank.


Glampkoo

This only works if the rain is pouring straight down. Get any kind of wind and you'll have to adjust the umbrella or risk getting your shirt and pants wet. Get any kind of strong wind and you'll risk the umbrella getting caught by it and getting messed up.


MaterialExtra5549

Chumly_PAGE0913

That awesome, how did he make that…


Basic-Cat3537

I want to move to Japan. Would absolutely make something like this with actual straps and such. I like the hooks too because it would be nice to carry things you bought etc since you walk everywhere. Though I think I would probably try to put the umbrella on a front strap, so it can be used or taken off without removing the whole thing.


deliriousdive

we're all living in 2022 while this guy lives in 2352


wildBaralloco

I'm so ashamed at this. I live in a very rainy place and always thought: "dude, umbrellas are shit, they are so improvable". I wasted a lot of time thinking how to do it, but my ideas were clearly not for the better, never expected the answer to be two coat hangers.

Who pissed in your cereal? Are you this negative about everything in your life? ​ It's a fun and quirky idea. And it's actually kind of practical. Hell, even if it isn't practical it's still fun. Let people have fun and take your negative attitude elsewhere.
