A friend remarked to me, when I was holding up an umbrella under shelter, that it is bad luck to do so, that it will result in people gossiping about you. I replied that that is obviously a superstition with no clear rationale of cause and effect. But on second thought, there might be some not so obvious rationale behind age-old superstitions, which must have arisen for some reason, silly or not. I joked that probably, the gossiping I might get is passers-by pointing fingers at me, calling me crazy to sport an open umbrella under a roof! JoinMailingList4LatestUpdates/Reply
