every couple of months.
They either break or get lost, or nicked.

at the church it started pooring. DH and I were resigned to getting
wet in our nice duds but then I remembered the umbrella in the trunk.
He reached back to get it and we made it to the church nice and dry.

I love them, when I have them and it's raining. I usually don't check the linda
weather report and end up forgetting one and buying a new one. During the
rainier months (that would be pretty much september–june) I buy one once
every couple of months.

They're a necessary evil in Houston.

I love parasols. They're a necessary evil in Houston.

every summers afternoon, just as civil servants are leaving the
office, for about half an hour. I keep one in my vehicle, one in
the office, one at home, an extra one which I invariably forget at
either home or the office if the weather is fine and a fold–up one
in my large bag. Bought the fifth one a few weeks back in
preparation for the summer season. Of course, they're useful for
keeping the hot sun off one as well.

I have five. I live in sunny South Africa where it rains nearly every summers afternoon, just as civil servants are leaving the
office, for about half an hour. I keep one in my vehicle, one in
the office, one at home, an extra one which I invariably forget at
either home or the office if the weather is fine and a fold–up one

Sounds like they need to change their working hours. every summers afternoon, just as civil servants

That's how Honduras was too. Hot half the day, raining the other half. Sounds like they need to change their working hours.

I like having a bunch of cheap umbrellas on hand because you never
know when you might need to give/lend it to someone. Last year, the
woman who loads the kids into cars at the front of the school was
standing in the pouring rain –– so I handed her one of the umbrellas
from the car. I got it back, but it wouldn't have bothered me if I
didn't.

I have two. A fancy, wood–shaft, leather handled number from Polo (blackwatch
tartan fabric) and a silver and red (mini) one that reads "Alfa Romeo."
I AM jonesing for one from Swaine Adeney & Brigg, though.
