"stephen" wrote in message ... [snip] Because of the way they drag the case, they are effectively twice as wide, and block people wanting to get past them. How does dragging something behind you make you twice as wide? Well, technically, they aren't really "behind" most folks. They are pulling it "behind" their hand which is to "their" side. "Twice" might be an over estimate of the phenomenon, but for example on a moving walkway, they do tend to occupy a wider portion whilst walking. [snip] At least they don't seem to be aware or concerned about people around them. That's true of most people Coulda stopped that sentence here. in an airport. [snip] They can be particularly annoying on the moving sidewalks. The idea is you stand on the right and walk on the left. (Is it the other way around in England and Oz?) Anyone who blocks a moving walkway is annoying. And is equally, potentially more, likely to do so when "carrying" (they are as likely to just set it down to their own side). |

People carrying large duffles over there are shoulder are twice as wide, as those things ride on their hips, rather than trail behind them. Because they don't drag it behind them. They pull it with their hand which is at their side. The bag is centered at their hand, so half of it is outside the width of the puller. -- Stephen There were no weapons of mass destruction, just words of mass deception. |

Transcontinental tonight - two families. Mom - backpack plus diaper bag. Dad, car seat plus baby. Dad - briefcase and kid in tow. Mom, bag and kid number two. FC full - most with the two bag maximum - one women with the rollaboard, computer bag, Macy;s shopping bag and purse. You do the math, Paul js Banty |

And those of us carrying backpacks take up no extra width, instead we just spin around now and then and knock people over. miguel -- Hundreds of travel photos from around the world: http://travel.u.nu/ |
