Question about English (US)
I don’t like the rain today. I bought a cup of hot coffee and I had it on one hand together with the umbrella, and my smartphone on the other hand. I tried to fold the umbrella when the cup slipped my hand and dropped inside the folded umbrella. The next time I open it, I’ll have a Starbucks’ shower. Merde!
Does this sound natural?

I didn’t like the rain today. I bought me a cup of hot coffee and held it in the same hand as my umbrella, while holding my cellphone in the other. I tried to fold my umbrella but my cup had slipped out of my hand and it ended up tipping it all over the umbrella. I’ll have to be more careful the next time I open it with a cup of coffee.
