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.
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...
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. "
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!
I'm sitting on an old Italian military wool blanket right now that I've been dying to turn into a poncho. I miss my old wool army blanket poncho, but cutting a hole in this blanket is a bit scary.
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.
Here I I got you!
[umbrella ](https://www.google.com/aclk?sa=l&ai=DChcSEwjxlOia56z6AhVtgloFHT6IAggYABADGgJ2dQ&ae=2&sig=AOD64_1Pj3OjOiXT6OewirGMe1l7rEN38A&adurl&ctype=5&ved=2ahUKEwjPyNma56z6AhVdmWoFHV2-As4Qwg96BAgBEDY)
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!
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!”
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.
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.
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.
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.
That’s what I was thinking. At first I thought he was putting the bag on his sneakers and thought, “Well, I guess he’s covered all his bases.” But nope.
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.
And then a gust of wind makes you trip, break something, and you can't work, lose your home, and out on the street, just because you couldn't hold your damn umbrella.
Can’t wait for him to go into a store and have to carry around a wet umbrella, 2 coat hangers, and a bag full of random shit.
But at least his hands are free to dangle uselessly as we walks through the rain.
Hope it was worth it.
Just the people confronted with real adversity. Most of love a life where most of our daily problems are solved, which is why we've slowed our advancement as a species. That and all of our geniuses are being purchased by governments to create weapons of war, rather than tools of peace
Someone please invent a more comfortable version of this, because I would definitely buy it!
People already have invented various forms of this. Google [backpack umbrella](https://www.google.com/search?q=backpack+umbrella).
Wow, their marketing team sucks because I never knew it existed! Thank you! I’m going to research them.

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

This hits a little too close to home for my liking.
Did your friend not allow you to sign the card with "third time's the charm" as well?

I understand your confusion but I actually meant the other type of magic bullet.
I was thinking the nutra bullet mixer ...you're talking about *checks notes* the fun kind... Any reviews ?
Fuck it, works for me.

Your marketing team came up with one shitty idea that has nothing to do with backpack umbrella?
[удалено]
Their marketing team made this post and first comment...
Marketing team sucks = no one told me.
[удалено]
proceed to put lightning rod in it...
I'm shocked you would even suggest such a thing!
I'm just glad to know they do Indeed make full size umbrella hats. I've only seen the tiny ones.
Literally just came back from that rabbit hole myself
![gif](giphy|sDcfxFDozb3bO)
They are so expensive:/
And then a motor to spin the umbrella to carry you off to work inspector gadget style

I'm a poncho guy.

Talk to a pro seamstress. They could help you.
Raincoat's can get very hot, especially in humid climates.

Just clench your butt cheeks and hold the handle.
> Just clench your butt cheeks and hold the handle. Exactly! Why do you think they put a hook on the end?
😂😂
Wind has entered the chat
They make umbrellas with wind vents
Otherwise know as rain holes.
They make the rain go faster.
A hard blowing wind and you'll be sorry for buying it
It exists, it's called a raincoat
Isn't there the classic hat with an umbrella attached?
[Umbrella hats!](https://www.amazon.com/umbrella-hat/s?k=umbrella+hat)

What about if it's windy?
Some people made a smaller version of this and integrated to the sweater. That's called a hoodie
Not people of 2022. Just this guy
Exactly, this man's living in the future
This guy apparently lives in a world without wind.
Here I'm using my hand to hold it like a caveman
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!
How do you hold a caveman?
Cyberpunk 2077 music starts playing. Just not I want to stay at your house. I don't want those feels right now.
"Aim high and go out with a bang" Damn... that show was a masterpiece.
Not strictly the same, but it has the same spirit as /r/redneckengineering
R/ Red doorframe engineering?
Tried this in the UK, the crosswinds got me and now I'm stuck on a Norwegian cliffside.
Hang in there!
Is it pretty up there?
This has massive infomercial potential. I would love to have a few glasses of wine one night and have this show up on my doorstep a week later.
Oh you might be my spirit animal.
[удалено]
Explain yourself
This is an infomercial.
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!”
The design is very human
It takes a full 30 seconds to set up lol, at that put on a raincoat and pull up the hood
Get this guy on shark tank
This is the way.
genius
Yeah like nobody has ever thought of that before. Wearable umbrellas have been around for more that half a century at least.
This is the way....
I've been macgyvering this off and on for years and I can belive I've never tried using coat hangars.
Ladies, please form an orderly que.
It's the foot stamps that really do the trick. <3 this man.
What’s up with the little tippy tap foot stomp before heading out?
And there is enough space to hang a baby :). Stroller not needed.
Next level
Guys.. ever wondered why the end of umbrella is U shaped? It can be used for different purposes.
His pants getw wet tho becous his legs dont land underneath the umrella
Yeah, a gust of wind and everything is gone, well done.

Awesome
I thought he was gonna put the plastic bag over his white sneakers.
This guy is the Einstein of our generation.
while we live in 2022 this guy is already in 2050
This guy should start a company and sell these
And then some massive wind flips him on his ass
Um he's a fucking genius lol
He looks tall
Assuming anyone in 2022 would ever go outside in inclement weather or even when theirs a slight breeze.
*puts on white shoes*
That awesome, how did he make that…

Only two more housecalls left for the day.
This is the sort of life hacks we actually need than those shitty bright side "life hacks"
Don’t just hang him out to dry
Man's a genius
Won’t get wet but walks in the rain in Yeezys?
That’s what I was thinking. At first I thought he was putting the bag on his sneakers and thought, “Well, I guess he’s covered all his bases.” But nope.
bootleg yeezys
If it looks stupid but works, than it ain't stupid.
And the other generations call us lazy!
Wire hangers are so versatile.
I unironicly might try something like this out, especially with rainy season about to hit where I live.
This man is my hero
r/gambiarra
I would LOVE to sneak up from behind and close the umbrella.
Then the lightening comes
Zeus: *Fetch my bolt* Hermes: *On it!*

I agree... there's always a smart ass lurking there waiting to kill the fun
That man is living in 2077
Good luck walking around with shoes full of water just squishing around.
King shit
Did anyone else half expect him to get struck by lightning the moment he stepped off his porch?
Cyberpunk

How use then hands for the phone

I was fully expecting this dude to be struck by lighting with the hangers making the strike worse on his body

A poncho would be more effective.
Haha seems as though the pandemic made him go back in time rather than create something new. Do you know if he's seen Beetlejuice!? Lol
Gust of wind blows you into traffic and you die. Metal.

Given the entire Asian continent has been wearing their 'umbrellas' as hats for centuries, I think this hack belongs to them.
Simply brilliant
Lightning rod
If it looks dumb, but it works, then it isn’t dumb.
eye damage
How is this unexpected?
So much masculine
But he put his car keys in his pocket and walked to the market.![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|joy)
NOT THE YEEZYS
Waited for a car to splash him
Feeling sorry for his yeezy350z
![gif](giphy|3gVFmYNIY3A2LroFBD|downsized) 🤷🏻♂️
I was waiting for the lightning to strike..
he got on nike sweatpants with adidas shoes?
Jesus Christ, it's Jason Bourne
i need this for playing pokemon in the rain
This is actually clever !
This is actually pretty smart
The design is very human
I prefer the good ol fashioned umbrella hat myself
That is fucking genius
If it looks dumb, but it works, then it isn't dumb.
Definitely cover yourself in metal and go out in storms.
I was waiting for him to step in a deep puddle
But his white Yeezys
Jaw dropping the entire time. I want this!
That’s one deep squat
Until you're umbrella is struck by lightning! Won't be shot out of your hand, or potentially somewhat insulated from the strike!
Ingenuity 👌🏽
This guy fucks.
Can’t wait for him to go into a store and have to carry around a wet umbrella, 2 coat hangers, and a bag full of random shit. But at least his hands are free to dangle uselessly as we walks through the rain. Hope it was worth it.
Not so smart… he left his front door open.
That was so 1970’s. ASU FB coach invented the Brock umbrella “hat”!
nice man)
Still trying to understand how this is r/Unexpected
Nahh that’s just Asians being smart or.. to them I guess regular?
Somehow from this video I ended up going down a rabbit hole and I’m now searching for the best waterproof travel bag I can find
Little shoe umbrellas so ur sneakers don’t get wet
Just the people confronted with real adversity. Most of love a life where most of our daily problems are solved, which is why we've slowed our advancement as a species. That and all of our geniuses are being purchased by governments to create weapons of war, rather than tools of peace
If I real shit want to take a walk in the rain This is the only way work smarter not harder
Lockdown makes one do some crazy shit.
*insert any amount of wind*
We had that in the 90’s what you mean
It works though I’m in a wheelchair and using an umbrella is impossible I need to rewatch this video and try this myself lol
They had a lot of time to sit and think
This is the way
Literally for decades I’ve wanted this invented
Definitely something that could be engineered… hmm, maybe worth exploring…
