Metro Pet Peeves: People Wearing Giant Backpacks

Let me start out by saying how happy I am to be back on an easy Metro commute. I'm getting to work quickly and reducing my carbon footprint by not driving. But, it does mean I have to interact with fellow humans and usually before the coffee has taken effect. So, I imagine this is the first in a series on Metro Pet Peeves.

Hey, lady with the ginormous backpack, your body doesn't end at your back... it protrudes out at least another foot... and is slamming into me. For some reason, you don't feel that you are hitting a solid object... maybe because the force has thrown be back three times.


And that's not counting the fashion citation for wearing this Christmas sweater in October, when it's 80 degrees on Metro. And also, not counting that you jumped in front of me to take a seat... for one stop. I loathe you.

OK, I feel better now.
