I am oblivious because I never found myself in one of those conversations when it came out obviously.
I carry my lunch to work and that's it. I see people with these huge bags of stuff they bring to work and I always wonder what they're doing with it all. I feel like I should be pretending to bring stuff in to make it look like I'm working hard.
How many of you are still going into an office daily? I go to a WeWork periodically, but mainly work from home
I carry my laptop home with me every afternoon because a lot of time I have to do more work at home because I’m a pathetic cooperate stooge.
And I do it in my company issued backpack like 99% of the workforce here. There are one or two try hards with a satchel.
This might be one of the most obtuse posts in the history of the board. It fails to account for so many factors that could lead to one choosing a backpack. At best it is an aloof opinion that has never even considered socio-economic reasons on would choose a backpack, such as having to commute via foot, bike, or public transportation and also makes zero allowance for a person’s ability to choose what works best for them. At worst, it is a position reinforced by a an absolute cuntshit position that appearance is everything and only a certain set of gilded business bros get to decide a set of standards that are acceptable but in all reality only have the effect of getting inside the mind of the weak and unthoughtful people that hold these and similar views. I am going to give you the benefit of the doubt that you are in the first camp. Well, now you know. Use this as a learning opportunity to be better and do better for those around you Boo.
When a melody is as catchy as Pumped Up Kicks, the lyrics take a major backseat. They can basically be gibberish and people will still love it. Mozart wrote a piece with lyrics that translated to "Lick my ass nicely, lick it nice and clean, nice and clean, lick my ass. That's a greasy desire, nicely buttered, like the licking of roast meat, my daily activity. Three will lick more than two, come on, just try it, and lick, lick, lick. Everybody lick their ass for themselves." Some part of the brain must shut down while someone is enjoying a great melody.
You judge people for the type of bag that best suites their needs and call them children if it is not to your standard. You are either extremely aloof or a gigantic prick. There, I dumbed down the language for you.
I was specifically talking about people that work in tech, because the majority of people in that industry—more so than any other industry I’ve observed—wear back packs. It wasn’t a commentary on the workforce at-large, weirdo. I also talked about public transit in, like, the next post.
But yeah no issue with either backpacks or laptop bags. I prefer the latter but both get the job done. And I’m a tech bro
I carry my laptop, necessary paperwork and lunch to work in a drawstring garbage bag. Because you have to be awesome to pull that off, and I am.
I work outside so get fresh air all day. My mistake was checking in on TMB where people are getting called children for what bag they choose to use for work.
I find it astonishing how this is one of the most frequently used idioms in American English. It's origin is an English translation from 1620 for Don Quixote. It's fucking wild. Tilting at Windmills came from the same translation too.
Tumi backpack checking in. I travel a shit load for work and got tired of my back and shoulders being fucked up from a laptop bag. Get lots of compliments from clients I’ll have you know.
You are missing the plot. Who fucking cares about what bag he uses and for what reason. Let people do what works for them. Unless that reason is to be a prick.
Also I agree with a.tramp except for the mfers wearing those fanny pack bags that you strap across your body I’ve seen dudes with one strapped across each shoulder and it’s hilarious looking
I have a canvas like attache. Because I need to get files and laptop from my home office to my Sprinter van that I work out of in the field all day. About 100 steps to and from alley driveway. Not quite the gotcha moment you were looking for I am afraid.
This. Been rocking a backpack since pre-Covid. Only time I wont is if I'm in my big dick suit (tailored of course, with french cuffs and gold cufflinks). Also, I hate sneakers with a suit. I'm noticing that's a thing now.
I am gone all day most days. Carry a back pack with all sorts of shit in it. It's like a massive purse.
