About the Holiday

National Open an Umbrella Indoors Day celebrates the superstition that it's bad luck to open an umbrella indoors and happens to fall on the 13th which is said to be a bad luck number. It's bad luck to open an umbrella indoors if...

  1. the umbrella is black,
  2. it was given as a gift,
  3. it was never used outdoors.

Since umbrellas are used to shield you from the sun and rain it's said it's bad luck to open indoors as it offends the spirit of the umbrella. As lyrics to Rihanna's Umbrella song: "You can stand under my umbrella (Ella ella, ay ay ay) Under my umbrella (Ella ella, ay ay ay) Under my umbrella..." guess that's as long as it's not indoors.
