#111: The Most Terrible Invention in Human History…

Here is my pick…

Did I mention I’m a bellman? It was a dark day when they added wheels to suitcases, but now they want you to strap your rugrat to your luggage as well?

Do you know why this is a bad idea?

  • You can’t see the actual child. What if they choke?
  • Most suitcases are heavy enough on their own… Never mind fifty extra pounds of booger eater!
  • People drop their suitcases all the time! Think about it…

Yes, this was a terribly self-indulgent post, but I figure I’m entitled…

SPEAKING OF SELF-INDULGENCE…

  1. That is seriously a stupid idea. It’s like overloading the stroller and having it fall over. Also it looks like a chair has simply been tied to the suitcase… Veerrry inventive.

  2. Why do those kids look so happy?. Most look like they should be walking already and wtf.is up.with that table tray? Excuse me, you can’t dump my chilld on your cart til (s)he finishes the juice box/… The world is coming to an end *listens for the trumpets*

      • I may be and here’s why. Back when my company paid me to travel to Chicago instead of work here, I had an incident. It was a crowded and icy sidewalk. I was toting my laptop and carryon to the office when I slipped on ice. My laptop went streetside, but my carryon went bridgeside only to be stopped from going into the river by the barrier…imagine if that would have happened with this contraption. Ugh..that could have been the end of somebody’s world.:(

  3. >It was a dark day when they added wheels to suitcases,
    - Are these seat-attached-contraptions available in adult sizes? I KEED. I kid. ;-)

    Now that I’ve got you to grimace, let me tell you exactly what made me grin.

    >but now they want you to strap your rugrat to your luggage as well?

    - I’m fully aware that you do not share my mirth on this issue, but thanks for being generous and giving me the opportunity to exercise my facial muscles yet again! :-)

    P.S.: I only just realised (d’oh!) that your new gravatar is like that luggage-carrier-meets-bird-cage thing on the cover of your book. Clever. You, of course. It took me, what? About two weeks to geddit? *a proud-of-meself grin*

    P.P.S.: What is that particular luggage carrier called?

    • The Ride-on Carry-on… It was featured on Shark Tank. Thanks for all the cool input, Kate!

      • >The Ride-on Carry-on…
        - Thanks, Hook. Now I know what to avoid by name. ;-)

        But in my question, I meant the ‘hotel luggage cart/trolley’. For some reason, I thought it had a more specific name. But no, ‘hotel luggage cart or trolley’ it is.

  4. Ha ha!!! You said booger eater!!!

  5. I agree. This is a terrible idea. The suitcase could easily turn over with the child strapped to it. (Ate you supposed to take the child on the bell cart?)

  6. People are freakin’ lazy. Good, God.

  7. Jesus! It’s like samsonite and the stepford wives have morphed!

  8. Wait until they start hauling that one down those narrow airplane aisles!

  9. I was kind of wondering what else could be tagged along with a suitcase..you know kids,locker, drunk spouse, stolen things from hotels..free food,gazillion bottles of wine..

  11. Ridiculous but Hilarious. I dare ask what will they think of next ???

  12. See, now I have a mental picture of the lost luggage office, a small child, still strapped to the bag, patiently waiting for the parent to return.

    Can you imagine the surprise of a taxi driver as they swing up the luggage and dump it into the back of the car only to see one of those insanely smiling children looking back up at him?
