I had someone like that bumping me every few minutes on a full-and-standing Cambridge train one morning. And the wearer almost got violent when I politely (no, really) asked him to stop it. Rucksack wearers generally have no concept of their "rear facing" personal space. I think with some of them its more a case of their rear personal space is wherever their rucksack is. I don't have a problem with little rucksacks but I don't see the need to go on a train wearing something the size of a suitcase on your back. In fact if someone has that much to carry why don't they just use a suitcase anyway? Thats what they're for. B2003 Er, no. Suitcases are for stacking. Rucksacks are for carrying. I could carry a helluva lot more weight in a rucksack than a suitcase of equivalent capacity. Neither are great in crowded trains without a luggage space. |
