I wrote this writing when I was attending English classes in 2013.
Opening an umbrella in a house is considered bad luck, and many people believe this. In this superstition, it is believed that doing so will cause anything from breaking stuff to a death in the family, but how did this come true?
There are two possible origins for that. One origin for today’s belief is the European umbrella that was popular in the 18th century. These umbrellas were larger than modern ones, also had hard metal spokes and spring triggers. The opening of these umbrellas could cause damage to objects.
Therefore, it was considered bad luck to open an umbrella indoors, because of the many cases in which people brock something or injured someone with them.
