Rant: Rolling bags and utility belts

Roll on... Are you familiar with the people that use rolling bags daily? Are you one of those people? If so, sorry, I HATE YOU and your rolling bag. Rolling bags are meant for airports and nothing else. They are not meant to carry your laptop, newspaper and your brown bag lunch to work! Get a normal bag and throw it over your shoulder like everyone else. Instead you roll that bag down the sidewalk as if you are in Pamplona Spain running from the bulls. You roll it down the aisle of the bus knocking into everyone as if you are a drunk driving a Mac Truck. You have absolutely no consideration for other people around you. It's just you and your huge rolling bag packed full of ALL your personal belongings running over peoples toes. I dislike you and your rolling bag. I enjoy wearing my flip flops to work, I do not need to wear steel toe boots to my cubicle.

Urban Super Hero... I get a good laugh at people who wear every piece of electronic equipment they own, on their belts. Blackberries, cell phones, pagers, PDA's, MP3 Players, Garage Door Openers, Remotes, cordless drills and can openers. Get a life or go back to work at Radio Shack. GEEK. There is a guy I run into everyday that carries everying on his belt, I kid you not this is what he has: Pager, Blackberry, MP3 Player, Pocket PC, flash light, leatherman and an early 90's cell phone. Seriously, does he think he is the next Batman? He is also the person that has one of those damn rolling bags packed with god knows what. Stacked on top of the bag he has a medium sized Igloo cooler. Is he preparing to camp out at the office? Who knows, maybe one day I'll follow him to his desk and remove all the charging outlets and remove the wheels from his roling baggage of death.

Not everyone have a desk to keep their possesions in so they need to carry their whole working life everywhere, but surely noone uses pagers anymore!?

Yes, amazingly people do carry pagers around still. Once a month I have to lug one around because I'm on call.

I really enjoy your commentary...moreso than just the simple links to other stories. I can get that through any newswire feeds.
Your wit is pretty sharp, and your personality comes out in your writing.
I'd like to read more of that.
Also, "random" and "rants" are two over-used blogging terms.
Just my 2 cents...maybe 1.5 cents.
