No Umbrella.. Do you walk or run in the rain? Which gets you more wet?
Unbelievably experiments have shown that running in the rain gets you wetter than walking…
@Thruxton900 - I did see it on Mythbusters once, but this morning I chose to run in the rain, from the car to the office. I dunno about wetter vs drier, but of one thing I am sure - the running is quicker!!

Walk. Running doesn't keep you any dryer and walking makes you less likely to slip and fall on your arse.

The reason why you get wetter when you're running, is due to you hitting more droplets of water as you run. Imagine you're sitting in a train that's standing still while it's raining. You'd see the water falling straight down. Once the train starts moving, you'd notice that the water seems to fall towards the side, diagonally down. The faster the train moves, the more the angle would increase until the rain seems to come from directly in front. What this boils down to is that droplets that would have missed you, had you been standing still, is not hitting you from the front, simply due to you running, and you end up getting wetter.

I always walk because getting your hair wet is not as embarrassing as falling flat on your bum in a muddy puddle :)
