Umbrellas give her the ick

The all important question here – what gives Olivia the ick? “There’s a few,” she admits. “When guys have no pillows on their bed. I went into a guy’s room once and I was like, ‘You don’t have any pillows, where am I supposed to lay my head?’ He went and got one from the sofa.

“Also when men use umbrellas, it’s a really weird one but it’s just the thought of them running outside under the umbrella.”
