History of National Open An Umbrella Indoors Day

In 2003, Thomas Edward Knibb of Frederick created the day. He created this day to challenge this kind of superstition by encouraging people to open the umbrella indoors and to note if they have any non-existing consequences. As the umbrellas are used to protect us from sun and rain, it is said that it’s bad luck to open the umbrella indoors because it provokes the spirit of the umbrella. It is bad luck to open the umbrella indoors

  • if the umbrella was given as a gift
  • if the umbrella is black
  • if the umbrella never used in outdoors.
