Academic Luggage

If there was one invention I could abolish on this earth, it would be rolling backpacks, or as I like to call them, "academic luggage". They seem to be the new unmentioned craze and quite frankly, this must stop. I cannot escape the annoyance of the academic luggage. My ultimate fantasy involving these backpacks would be that I could run up to the mylanta lady, who was mentioned earlier in "those people" and kick her backpack into oblivion.
Have you ever noticed that the people who own academic luggage always load this thing down. There's always a water bottle present and strapped to the side is a lunch pale and of course, a dozen key chains, which is another of my pet peeves.
Also, these people who are so enamored with their academic luggage drag these things behind them and apparently forget they exist. This thing is swaying back and forth like a drunk armadillo at an attempt to trip me every chance it gets. They always walk sooo slow too. And then as if I couldn't be more frustrated, the path we're walking on changes to tile and/or stairs. This thing is now swaying and making the most noise in the world, either dragging over the cracks or up the stairs. The owner doesn't even notice the new nuisance of their academic luggage. I just can't understand how someone could have such disregard for fellow classmates. Ok, that comment might be over the deep end. In concluded frustration, academic luggage should be banished from the earth and people should stop being so damn lazy.

Wow. Great post. That's shockingly eerie that we would post about the same thing like that. Kinda makes me feel bad like we're aiming for the low hanging fruit by picking on the obvious freaks.

The rolling backpack roamers must be everywhere.

I love part about the drunken armadillo.

Thanks for checkin it out. It's rare that I come across another person with such an innate sense for the less obvious freaks of society. By the way, the fanny pack is the one thing that kills me everytime I see it. I literally stop what I'm doing to laugh.
