Today, I was walking through town with my hood up and noticed people giving me funny looks. It wasn't until I got home that I realised the umbrella I was holding over my head had been closed the whole time. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, at the supermarket everybody was staring at me. After ten minutes, I realized that my umbrella was still open. FML
Today, my hair got stuck in my umbrella. I asked for help from passers-by, but all I got was weird looks as they hurried past me. FML
Today, I went for a walk. When it started pouring, I ran under the nearest tree for protection. It didn't occur to me that it might look suspicious hiding under a stranger's tree in a black hoodie, until the cops showed up. FML
Today, I was hurrying for the bus home from work. It was raining and I had my umbrella up. As I hurried by two women, I felt my umbrella hit one of them on the head. I turned to apologise and saw her standing with her hands on her newly bald head. My umbrella had lifted her wig off her head. FML
Today, someone stole my umbrella. It was pouring heavily, and I was using it at the time. FML
Today, I took my dog out for his walk, only to find out that I had an extra bra hanging vertically out of my pants. Thankfully, the only person who saw me was the maintenance guy, who looked very confused, so I just smiled at him. I had no idea why, I only realized when the wind blew it against my leg and I saw my shadow. FML
Today, hoping to avoid the rain because I had just gotten an expensive perm, I ducked under an awning. At that moment, the store manager shook the awning, and about 6 hours of rain dumped on my head. FML
Today, a guy lost control of his umbrella in the wind, which then hit me in the eye, making me bleed. He screamed at me for trying to steal his umbrella. People laughed. FML
Today, I tried to take off my hoodie. Somehow my shirt came off with it, leaving me shirtless in public, as I sheepishly tried to put it back on. Not only were people staring, but there was a mother covering her son's eyes. FML
Today, I was getting dressed in my bedroom with the blinds open and had nothing covering my top half. I thought my neighbours wouldn't be able to see in through all the trees, that was until I heard someone wolf whistle and one of my neighbours running away. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

How did you not notice that your umbrella wasn't open? Isn't that something you would open right away when it's raining?

lol I'd rather people be amused because ny umbrella isn't open than be amused that it is open but the wind flipped it inside out. That's so embarrassing >,< lol

I wonder how the OP didn't notice their hood getting wet and usually rain makes a soft "pitter-patter" sound on an opened umbrella... I'd notice that if nothing else..

Reading the comments and feeling awkward because I use umbrellas even when going out in the summer; not only during monsoons.

No more like he just washed his clothes.

Or neither. Some people use umbrellas to keep the sun off their face and body

Well their hood was up. Even with an umbrella you're still going to get wet

How did you not notice?

He says he had a hood on so we can assume he didn't feel any rain on his upper body and head. therefor he didn't question if his umbrella is open

he would have noticed his hoodie and shirt getting wet.

If you have a hoodie on your shirt doesnt get wet

If you didn't notice that your umbrella wasn't open, it probably wasn't raining hard enough to need an umbrella.

Still looked dumb walking around with his arm stuck in the air and holding the closed umbrella. If I did this I'd laugh at myself for a good five minutes.

Why are people acting like its unheard of... Umbrellas are pretty much just as good as hoods, both keep your head dry and thats what matters, if i had my hood up i wouldnt notice either

Because even with your hood up, you should be able to hear the difference as rain hitting a hood sounds different than hitting an umbrella. If OP was wearing headphones that'd be one thing but even still, not to even get a glimps of a closed umbrella in the corner of his eye as he notices the other people? Not to have opened the umbrella as he lifted it over his head? SMH... No excuse i can see to make him not deserve it.
