@WhiskeySandwich I can relate, although the corridors at work are not wide enough for this. I’ll resist the urge to let rip on all my gripes about pedestrians in public spaces, but I hate it when groups of individuals and couples change course to create a solid barrier across the full width of the street and force anyone coming the other way to do an emergency 90° turn so they can get round the end of the approaching phalanx. That and people who insist on going round shops in groups of 6-8 plus.

Or holding their weekly get together with mates in the aisle of Morrisons (UK supermarket chain) on a Saturday morning.....

And people walking aimlessly between gates at the airport.

Or forming an impenetrable barrier at the baggage carousel.....How fast your luggage comes out is not a function of how close you stand to the belt you fucking morons.....

Some people just have too much baggage

Travel with only as much luggage as you can handle on your own.

@endo Can you talk to my wife and kids…

Edit: I fully accept it’s my fault as I carry it for them.

[goosehd]

The amount of stuff we traveled with on this trip damn near broke me mentally and physically…

Edit: This was also the trip where on the arrival back home at customs, with all of the bags, stroller, and car seat hanging off of me, my wife said to the customs agent, don’t mind him…he’s just the mule.

@goosehd I can relate

Even for a weekend away I use a small hold-all
Sons stuff fits in mine now he doesn’t need umpteenth amount of clothes changes and nappies etc

Wife on the other hand will use 2-3 bags and 2 are the size of what I would call a cricketers kit bag size, plus handbag plus makeup bag

I’ve given up trying to argue the point or need for so much stuff

@Bridger Everything has a life of it’s own once it’s posted and yes I did get the original meaning…sorry to disappoint.
