Rolling backpacks.

[Poop-Loops]

I only hate people who walk up to stairs, put back the handle, carry the thing up the stairs (usually like 3 steps), then set it down, take out the handle, and keep rolling.

But other than that I don't care.

I just weighed my backpack. Exactly 22 pounds. I refuse, though, to get a rolling backpack. I hate those things so much. School hallways are crowded enough without people dragging their backpack a foot or two behind them. And the stairs thing that Poop-Loops mentioned takes forever and holds everyone up.

Most people I see with rolling backpacks are overweight girls.

You know, in my experience that's correct, as well.

I guess it makes sense. Overweight people tend to get tired quicker than more in shape people, so that part makes sense. And I've never heard of a guy even considering getting a rolling backpack.

I know a really small kid whose backpack is probably 35+ pounds. Every time he puts it on, he goes stumbling a few steps and almost falls down. Pretty sad to watch.

 

[Poop-Loops]

You should throw rocks at him.

I don't think I've ever seen a rolling backpack but I'm trying to picture how one works. Unsuccessfully, too.

It's like those lugage things that have wheels, except smaller.

Aren't most, if not all of them, not backpacks, or so some of them convert?

I work in a building with mostly attorney's offices and almost everyone of them has a rolling cart with tons of materials on it. It wouldn't be healthy for them to carry those materials on their, why would it for children? If the backpack is too heavy use a roller, if you don't want to use a roller don't carry all your books around all the time; thats what I did.

in my school there was on guy with a rolling backpack, he didnt use ith tho, 1500kids ive never seen someone pull one, they would be beaten more than likely. this is in new zealand though, maybe americans are different *cough*lazy*cough*

Rolling backpacks are for sissies. I see people around my college campus still using them, and they look like damn fools. If a backpack is too heavy, don't put all your books in it at one friggin time. Get a locker, keep them in your car or something. </vent>

or... *cough* we work more hours than anyone in the world and try to find ways to do said work more efficiently *cough*

My second grader has one, but he extends the handle, sticks his arm through it and hangs it from his shoulder. There's hardly anything in it. Just some folders.

Okay, if you're wearing a backpack that also rolls &#8230; how long is the damn thing, and how does it not interfere with the heels of your feet as you walk?

Unless of course they have all the classes on the same day. And don't have lockers (I've never been to a school with lockers). And take the bus to school.

Looks like you didn't think this through, did you?

Okay, if you're wearing a backpack that also rolls … how long is the damn thing, and how does it not interfere with the heels of your feet as you walk?

Bob Lee is always asking the questions everyone else is thinking, but afraid to ask.

i think they mean some thing like this [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]
you either drag it, or wear it like a backpack

 

[spudmaster34]

yeah, they have a retractable handel, so it gets longer

Okay, so apparently you don't roll it and wear it as a backpack simultaneously. Therefore, it's something different from what I was trying to imagine.

Wow, Bob, I'm glad you weren't thinking of the real thing. That would look even more ridiculous than the real ones.
