My friend Carrie Burbrink pointed out another area of office gear deserving of disparagement:  the roller bag.

Really, I’m sure there are people for whom there’s no other solution.  I mean, I had a serious back problem a couple years ago for a blessedly short time, and I know all too well that anyone suffering chronically from such a thing deserves all the mechanical assistance he can get.

But that’s a tiny fraction of the office populace.  I see far too many roller bags, statistically speaking.  Y’know, if you look like you’re headed to the airport for a business trip, but you’re not, you look like a doofus.  And really, if you’re reasonably healthy and you need a roller bag to tote all the stuff you take back and forth, you need a change.  C’mon — you’re not doing that much work, am I right?
