Rain could be lethal. At least this is how we're reacting — Oh my gawd, the rain is going to catch you! or Going out?!? What, are you crazy, look how it rains!

That's just a shower!, some drops of water, nothing deadly – what happened to us? We're reacting to rain the way we're supposed to react to war.

Urban misfortunes to be added, for extra tragic: — Shit, this is going to wet my Nautica lone-navigator-around-the-world impermeable jacket!, Great, this is going to ruin my 300m waterproof chronometer! or Jesus, this is going to stain my heavy-duty designer-label boots!

Is it a social tabu to have wet hair, clothes or shoes? Does this position one as an underprivileged, pitiful citizen? Lower class? Underdog? Is rain drops contact with a middle class person's skin becoming socially acceptable only during sports practice and taxi drivers' strike?

We'll carefully protect ourselves – and our species – to death.
