These Things Anger Me

Wheeled backpack, oh how I loathe the.  The backpack, originally designed for wear on the back to free the hands of cumbersome weight, is now back in the hands of.......hands.   You are the reason that I missed the early train yesterday.  You were always cutting off my attempt to pass your slow owner, with your 2 inch wheels getting stuck in every storm grate and your awkward and halting attempts to try and climb even the weakest of curbs.  Where did you come from and why will you not go a way?

These things make no sense.  Everybody that owns one ends up going through more trouble dragging the thing than they would carrying it on their back.  How hard is it to carry 20 lbs on your back?  It's not.  Unless you are 90 years old with rubber bands to hold you upright or you are hauling small loads of pewter in your backpack, you are not allowed to use this clunky device.   

I don't even know what is worse, the fact that people wheel these things around, or that you have the option of wearing it.  People that actually wear the thing look like they are transporting wheelchairs for the horizontally challanged. 

I am unofficially branding you "Useless".
