I lost an umbrella on the train yesterday (shh... don't tell my mom, I'm hoping she never finds out) so today, I went to the lost and found in search of it.
Moi: I lost a black umbrella.
Lost and Found Man: What did it look like?
Moi: It's um, black... it's a black umbrella.
Lost and Found Man: Ma'am, I get lots of umbrellas (complete lie, he later pulls out exactly 1 umbrella that fit my description). Can you tell me anything else?
Moi: It might have a brown handle. It's compact- a very normal looking umbrella?
Nosy Lady: You don't know the name of it?
Moi: No.
"The name of it?" Umbrellas have names? Aren't they all the same? (When I asked the lady that, she just stared at me, then shook her head in disgust.) Am I really the idiot they're making me out to be? Because no one ever told me about umbrella classification. But if I were to name mine, I'd call it Dexter.
