Rain

When the forecast says 30%, I put my umbrella in the car and close my windows. (otherwise I leave them open on warm days - parking lot is very sunny.) If the forecast says 70%, I take my umbrella with me. (Otherwise, it's bulky and I'll take chance.

When it's below 70%, I'm not always sure what to do. Carry a bulky umbrella, or risk getting wet.

With no other choices, I'm phonebanking on Saturday. I want to get wet.

They have collapsible ones that fit nicely inside a purse or a briefcase or a backpack.
