An umbrella blocked people out of a WeWork office for 2 days

Marry Poppins said 'Take the day off.'

The world's coolest umbrella-ella-ella did its best to give some workers the day off by falling and jamming the door to their office.

Twitter user @NeerajKA provided the visual and added that it had been two days without being able to get inside their friend's WeWork office. While that may have prevented people from working a couple decades ago, 2019 is a different (umbrella-proof) story. And no, according to @NeerajKA, nobody tried to break the glass.

Though it's taken some time to solve the umbrella problem, it sounds like the company is finally making a bit of progress.
