Yeah me too. I think it’s some kind of deal where you’re supposed to get everyone you know to vote for your lame submission, and then it shows up on the front page.
This isn’t a fail. I’ve totally been there, and seen a whole bunch of other people there. I can’t believe anyone thought it was novel enough to snap a picture, let alone that it made failblog. Shame. Poor girl.
When it rains here, it freakin’ POURS, dude. Monsoon like. Flooded streets and manhole covers pushed up because of the water coming the other way are pretty common during a big rainstorm, believe it or not.
The standard of failblog is really going downhill recently. I’ve posted stuff that’s actually wtf, and this, which isn’t even a fail, gets up on the site? No fair.
What fail — being caught unprepared in the rain is a fail now-a-days — not even sure it is an umbrella, though it looks like one – but it takes two hands to open a ‘full’ type – meaning she’d have to set her stuff onto the wet ground – fail blog is failing more & more
It takes one hand to open automatic umbrellas. And they’re inexpensive to obtain.
That said, I’m with the “it’s probably broken” crowd. Either that or it’s just drizzling and she didn’t feel like bothering to open the umbrella all the way, which isn’t a fail, it’s just being lazy (which isn’t always a fail if it doesn’t hurt anything yet saves time and effort).
Rhianna did a song in 2007 titled Umbrella. I checked the lyrics and did not see instructions for opening one. The repeat lyric is “under my umbrella” but the gal in the picture IS under the umbrella.
What’s really amazing is how much time whoever posted this has caused us all to spend trying to understand and analyze it. I’m beginning to wonder if maybe I’M the fail here.
The umbrella looks broken, probably got caught in the wind, this crap should be removed.
totally. why this would be a fail?
Because it’s showing how this site has declined into being a failure to supply humorous content lately. It’s rather poetic when you think about it.
I’m glad I’m not the only person who thought “The umbrella is probably just broken.”
ditto
How does it look broken?
it’s not just blondes anymore…it’s brunettes now
The blondes were always just brunettes armed with peroxide anyway.
Are you blond by any chance?
According to my coworkers, I’m a redhead.
nope, we have a case of functioning umbrella, but an unfunctional user
I’ve submitted genuine fails that go ignored, but crap like this gets posted? Who’s checking this stuff?
Yeah me too. I think it’s some kind of deal where you’re supposed to get everyone you know to vote for your lame submission, and then it shows up on the front page.
Forever alone.
We’ve all been there, bro. I hope nepetism isn’t the leading cause.
Lame

She has a hoodie that she can pull on her head.
Ever lived somewhere windy? Umbrellas break and it sucks rather mightily.
I think you mean it BLOWS rather mightily.
Haha absolutely! I’m sad I missed the pun!
This looks like a Las Vegas school. If it is I can understand why she doesn’t know how to use an umbrella….
People in Las Vegas own umbrellas?

it’s probably broken. not a fail
Can anybody confirm where this is? It looks weirdly familiar to me. I’m thinking University of Victoria?
The fail would to be listening to Rihanna at all. The umbrella looks broken.
the name however, is a WIN
This is stupid
