Q: Opening an umbrella in a theater impolite?

I recently went to the theater to go see a movie with my Chinese girlfriend. On the way there, she was holding her umbrella, yet there was something wrong with it as it would go "click click click" everytime there would be a gust of wind.

When we got our seats at the theaters, i opened it to see what was wrong with it, try to pinpoint the problem and swiftly resolving it before the movie would start, and a lot of people started at me with an unapproved face.

At first, i though they thought i would never be able to fix it, so i accepted the challenge and fixed it in no time. I did some tests to rub it in their face by opening and folding it, then waived it like that time i did back then in 'Merica when i shot a bunny from 75 yards right in the neck.

I later asked my Chinese girlfriend why they would make that face to me, and she refused to answer. Halp?

Opening an umbrella indoors is bad luck all around the world.

I just gotta ask, where is the most logical place to fix a broken umbrella?

Is she still your girl friend or has she smartened up?

She sometimes is weird, but she is still very obedient. A bottle of wine a day keeps the breakup away, like the old saying says!

I started to be moar diplomatic with her, and we share a lot in common. Now i want to teach her the duck dance, so we can go party together. It's weird, because she always have headache when i propose her to go dancing.

One time we got into an argument, because she dared say my spin-o-rama high five looked ridiculous. I yelled at her until she cried, then cheered her up with my smiling chicken costume. It was really funny, everything went ok afterward, then I got her drunk with a nice bottle of wine.

Plus, who would repair her umbrella if i wasn't there?!

Getting halp from moar and moar people is like spin-o-rama high-fiving new friends on answers.echinacities.com with a tip of the hat finishing move.
