Grown men who carry their shit around in backpacks

Appropriate for a camping trip, for teenagers and little boys ... otherwise get a proper briefcase or shoulder bag, bro.

Ugh, like it's their first day of kindergarten. Grow up!

I’m a grown man and ride a bike, so fuck you, OP. I’ve got a backpack and you can suck my tire treads

Briefcase or shoulder bag???? What a stupid, old, fat troll you are, OP.

I can pull it off.

Oh I have a nice black backpack. Need it for my laptop and all. Plus it's easier with my little spinal issue.

Ergonomically better than a shoulder bag or briefcase (which no one carries any more). OP probably wants us to wear vests and ascots.

I much prefer an understated backpack over the faux pocketbooks I see...yes that side-eye you think you got was me.

by Anonymousreply 9February 6, 2020 3:21 PM

Briefcases and shoulder bags are useless if you are cycling or using an electric scooter as R3 says. And backpacks are much better ergonomically, and leave both your hands free. There's a reason so many people use them now

Shoulder bags are terrible for your spine and shoulders so I wish OP all the best on his arthroscopic surgery. Maybe he can comfort himself with his unfounded sense of superiority.

Sorry hon, my herniated disc prefers that I wear a backpack. I apologize for the eyesore.

Shoulder bags hurt. Backpacks are better. Years of carrying a shoulder bag have taken a toll.

Necessary for hiking and backpacking.

Some of us like to carry backpacks because we don’t wanna fuck up your back… As others have pointed out.

I don’t like it so no one else is allowed to enjoy it!

A briefcase? What normal, casually dressed person walks around with a briefcase? I don’t have any fucking quarterly reports I’m hauling around.

by Anonymousreply 22February 6, 2020 3:51 PM

This didn't go the way OP was hoping it would.

I was gifted a briefcase. Hated it. Love my Timbuktu with its 100 compartments.

R22 People who live in Washington DC who are self-important assholes carry around briefcases and shoulder bags… Probably filled with political flyers and nonsense.

I carry a backpack.

Fuck off you little bitch.

by Anonymousreply 26February 6, 2020 4:02 PM

I don't give a rat's ass what people carry their drag around in. Backpacks seem like a very legitimate choice if you're a city commuter, biker, etc.

Ugh, Grown men who care about how others choose to carry around their stuff.

I only use backpacks. It’s like driving manual transmission. Why tie up one hand/arm unnecessarily? Plus the ergonomic benefits. Briefcase and satchels are passé. Love my backpack. And have a slightly larger one for air travel. Fantastic for moving through airports and public transport.

But how can you carry all your legal briefs properly without a briefcase???

by Anonymousreply 33February 6, 2020 4:48 PM

I have to admit, seeing adult business men walk around wearing backpacks is so weird to me. All I can think of is how only the nerds wore backpacks the correct way in high school in the 80s. I had a backpack in hs, but I always slung it over one shoulder as I didn’t want to attract negative attention to myself. That is so ingrained in my mind that I doubt I could ever wear a backpack the correct way.

I use this cool army nap sack (is that the right term?) I found at this thrift shop in LA. It's in between a back pack and a standard computer bag. I love it.

But unlike you OP, I have zero issues with back packs. Of all the things in life to worry about?

by Anonymousreply 42February 6, 2020 5:33 PM

R5 totally agree, how old are you OP, like a 100.

I'm another guy who rides a bike around - a backpack is the only way to go. I have a great Patagonia backpack and that's fashionable enough for me.

by Anonymousreply 46February 6, 2020 5:53 PM

My only problem with backpacks is that people never take them off when they should. For example, when you are boarding a plane, take off your damn backpack and carry it between your legs to your seat.

But no - they whack people seating in the seats or behind them with their overstuffed backpack as they turn around looking for spots to store it or looking for their seat.

Same on public transportation. They whack people all the time, most of the time without knowing it. These are the backpack assholes.

This is my backpack. I bought it because I started school again 3 years ago. It is just the right color of green, Army Green. It is made by Vaschy.

I am old, so I didn't know the really cool brand, Herschel, was identical, only the Herschel costs twice as much. I don't mind not being cool. As I said, I am old, and by definition, possess precious little coolth on campus.

OP, have you been to Italy? I visited 20 years ago and it was funny to see young men (teens to early 30's) not only wearing backpacks but ones usually worn by kids. Like backpacks with superhero and anime/cartoon themes. A friend visited more recently and he saw the same thing.
