I think om going insane. When you carry it by the handle it’s so long that it may scratch the ground, but the handles are too short to cary it properly over your shoulder. What’s going on? How are they so popular?

      They’re usually very uniform. Loads of people use them regularly, but it’s so awkward to carry.

      I rarely do, but when I do I’m just struggling with it. I prefer a back pack for all carrying purposes myself. I just don’t get how people haven’t given up on them.

        Are you maybe shorter than average?

        I really don’t see what’s awkward about them. Worst thing is you have to push them outwards a bit so you don’t kick them with your legs while walking.

        I do too, but 2 tote bags and a backpack can carry a lot more than just a backpack.
