Apparently I am an egotistical slave driver. I hope that is because I guessed the meaning of a bunch of words and selected the wrong answers.

Regarding your quote about getting to the moon before having wheels on luggage. No surprise to me. We didn't seem to need wheels back then. People weren't so lazy and customer service was better.

People want to carry all their stuff on the plane since they can't trust the airlines to check it and have it returned in an undamaged and timely basis. And they are too lazy to carry it. Or want to bring more than they can carry. The whole thing just gets me all pissed off.

If it wasn't for those damn wheels, I wouldn't have to battle for my share of the overhead space on EVERY flight. You never used to see tiny little people toting giant suitcases, an overnight bag, AND a HUGE purse or computer bag onto the plane - and then try to cram all of it in the overhead. Half the time they can't even lift the damn things into the overhead and have to ask for help.

I wish the wimpy airlines would be stricter about this, but of course they don't want to lose a customer.

I hope that you don't mind, I am going to re-categorize this under "weary traveler".

Reading your response satisfied my Andy Rooney fix. I enjoyed hearing of your experience, I think you should have your own column.
