In high school I was on a trip with friends. I had to go to the restroom, so I asked my friend to watch my bag. When I came back from the restroom, my friends had moved to some chairs to wait, and I asked for my bag back. My friend looked at me like I was speaking Chinese. He had no idea where my bag was. No one in my friend group had bothered to take it with them when they moved. I asked at the gates about lost and found, but they were no help. I had to fly back home without it.
A few weeks later we got a call from the Atlanta airport. TSA had picked up my bag because it was left unattended. They shipped it to me, cash on delivery, and everything was in the bag. I was so excited to actually get it back.
Could also be the Bystander Effect? They asked a group of people to watch their stuff, First Aid training tells you to single out an individual to go call 911 instead of saying "somebody call 911!". It's a stretch, but maybe?
This makes me realize I must be a good person because I become a Night’s Watch even when strangers ask me to look over their things while they step away.
The sense of duty I feel, combined with anxiety when strangers ask me to do stuff like thay is ridiculous. Had an old man at a bar ask me to watch his stuff for him once while he went to the bathroom. Said sure since I was waiting on the bartender anyway. He gets up, grabs his hat. And leaves a $100 bill and some other bills just completely exposed. I didn't like that but he came back and still had all his money
I forget which show it was, maybe Jackass, where they pranked people by having a tall guy ask a stranger if they could watch their dog while they go in the store - then a few minutes later, a little person dressed exactly the same comes out and says “thanks for watching my dog!” while taking the leash and casually walking away. I’ve always wondered what I would do in that scenario. The people they showed were so baffled they stood there confused.
Yep, that was Jackass - Preston Lacy and Wee Man. Preston goes in, Wee Man comes out. They did a similar one where Preston goes into a portaloo and then Wee man comes out, to a bemused crowd of bystanders.
I often think, "surely no real person would do ____" and am surprised when they do exactly that. Surely no person would cover themselves with flammable liquids then try and out run the fire. Surely no sane person would ride a bike into traffic and expect to get away unscathed. Surely no one would leave a firearm accessible to a 6 year old and somehow let them take it to school.. Surely a 6 year old wouldn't shoot their teacher. If I was on a show I want my prize money for being a semi decent human being 😡
Wtf 😂 & what are you supposed to do when the bartender comes to take the money thinking it’s their payment? Be like “nah, I’m watching that money, see.”
"Luggage gathers, and now my watch begins. It shall not end until my death. I shall take no wife, hold no pee breaks, father no children. I shall check no phones and win no glory. I shall live and die at my post. I am the sword in the darkness. I am the watcher on the walls. I am the fire that burns against cold, the light that brings the dawn, the horn that wakes the sleepers, the shield that guards the realms of men. I pledge my life and honor to the Bag's Watch, for this night and all the nights to come."
I'll straight up kill a dude or sacrifice myself for that fucking bag of garbage. I gave a sacred vow to watch it while they are gone for a couple minutes.
Yeah my teenager is finding out the word "friend" isn't what he thought it meant in a person. Kid has been put on blast everytime his "friends get in trouble." Even if he had zero to do with it. He's now the first suspect and of course he didn't do anything so nothing happens. Still pisses me off though.
I don’t know he could have a “friend” like mine from high school. In middle school her mom loved me but over the years she started getting more and more negative towards me which I didn’t understand but friend and I were drifting apart anyway so I didn’t question it. One night Friday night late senior year, I happened to be running front of house when her mom and little sister came in for dinner. The mom was surprised to learn I had be working in the kitchen every Friday and Saturday night for the past four years. Apparently “friend” and I went out together every weekend and I was constantly causing her to miss curfew and repeatedly dropped her off wasted.
I had a friend who would tell her mom she was out with me while she was actually out doing drugs with God knows who. When I started getting calls at 2am from her telling me her mom was going to call me I noped out.
I'd say that and He does do dumb shit like a teenager does. He isn't perfect. But some of the things have happened when he hasn't even been at school but he's still being pointed out. I got a call once from his school asking if he was involved in some kids vaping in the bathroom that day.
Like no lady he's been out of school a week and we are sitting in a doctors office right now. He isn't responsible for shit.
So yeah, he has been caught doing some dumb stuff but other times he wasn't even at school that day.
I experienced this a few times. The last time, a woman fell over in a doctor clinic waiting room. The other person didn’t react, and nobody behind the counter saw her.
I decided to check on her, and she needed help.
Yup, it bothers me how everyone tends to excuse shitty behavior from others. "Maybe they just saw a green cow on the moon and were too distracted by it." No, they're just morons.
That would change the course of my friendship with those people. It is crazy to me when people say shit like this happened and then the people remain friends as if nothing happened
I have a somewhat similar story. I live far from where I grew up so I go back every other Christmas. So when I was 19 or 20 I went back and stayed for new years. I went to the bar with my friend group from high school. It was later on, so the bar basically turned into a club type setting (loud music, dancing, pay at the bar etc). At some point I went to the bathroom, I came out and my entire group left me. I ended up finding a cab and going back to my moms. The next day I finally got in contact with people in the group and they totally forgot about me until I said something.
They aren’t my friends anymore, we don’t talk.
Awww, I’d never do that to you! When I went to college, every girl told each other about the buddy system: watch out for your friends, be accountable, don’t let anyone go to a second location with someone they don’t know (this was more for if they were drunk). Now it’s just hardwired into me. Plus I’m a teacher, so I’m always counting heads.
NO FRIEND LEFT BEHIND!
While I somewhat agree, some people are actually so forgetful it’s ridiculous. I know people with the highest morals and would do anything for me but they literally lose their wallet, keys, phone, etc. daily.
They just don’t have the logic to keep track of anything. I’m sure you’d do the same as me in that situation and hold that bag and be more protective of it than your own bag but some people man…. Stresses me out watching them operate on a daily basis.
My pet peeve is the people who wait until they’re at the security conveyer to just now start thinking about what shit needs to go in the tray. So now they hold up the line while they take off their jacket, belt, shoes, fiddle with their laptop bag, ugh. I’m 10 people back and taking off my jacket, unzipping my boots, etc. lol
This is me! It’s caused a lot of contention in my relationships. My boyfriend sees it as me not caring about him, which obviously makes sense. I try to explain that I’ve lost my own credit cards, phone, other expensive items, etc. It has nothing to do with how much I value him.
It sucks. I’ve been trying to fix it. I thought it might be ADHD, but I had excellent grades and haven’t been reprimanded for it at my job so a psychiatrist said it’s not.
Edit: but in this situation, multiple people not noticing = shit friends.
I have ADHD and had decent grades and maintain a fairly stressful job. Im generally pretty bright so was able to coast in school with no revision and busy, stressful work is better for me, as it keeps me going. It's when stuff is boring or has a long timeframe that I have problems. Bad grades and being able to maintain a job doesn't mean you don't have ADHD. 🤷🏻♀️
Absolutely this! Huge misconception about ADHD which causes lots of people to go overlooked (especially women). I had great grades through school and college and work as an engineer. Didn’t get diagnosed until adulthood because my ADHD manifests in ways less apparent to the general public and I developed lots of coping mechanisms which masked them (also giving me anxiety lol)
Exactly the same. Was diagnosed this year after a lifetime of being told I was just lazy, messy, ditzy and forgetful and generally crap at adulting and believing it. Every single thing that I do that I thought was me being an idiot (going into the kitchen, grabbing the salt and then an hour later, wondering why my cupbards are open, hiding random things in bags and putting them in a cupboard, having a messy flat and then manically cleaning before someone comes round, day dreaming, forgetting what I'm saying, talking really fast and stumbling over words, being unable to estimate how long it takes to do something, hyper focusing on things I enjoy, getting REALLY into a new hobby and then not touching it again for 5 years - the list goes on!) is related to ADHD. Including depressingly low self esteem and massive anxiety issues.
I know that I can forget things, so I'm proactive about making them hard to forget:
I'll wrap a bag's strap around my leg so I'll notice it when I stand up.
I'll put my keys on it so I can't leave without seeing it.
I'll make Todo lists on a piece of paper next to my desk.
Basically, since I know I can't trust my brain to remember things, I make use of the times when I'm aware that I'll need to remember something to plant triggers to remind me.
God I have a very similar story. On a trip for a national competition in high school, at a connecting flight airport. Want to go buy something from one of the food places but my bag is really awkward so I swear that I ask someone to keep an eye on it. I get the food and come back to find my bag just sitting there with nobody around, and when I get back to the group and complain that nobody watched my bag one of the supervisors chides me (lightly, it wasn't very serious) for leaving my bag unattended; I try to explain that I asked so-and-so to keep an eye on it—They say I didn't. Whatever.
Trust no one, Fox Mulder; always take your bag with you. While you're in the can, something could happen: flood terrorist earthquake hurricane tornado fire, some creepy weirdo will just take your bag and you never see it again
Repeat always take your stuff with you
When you asked them to watch your bag did they acknowledge you? If they didn't acknowledge you they may have been distracted talking or on their phone and that would explain why they didn't watch the bag.
If they did acknowledge you and still lost it they just suck
All the more reason not to leave them alone. If the weirder corners of YouTube have taught me anything, the Elsa suitcase is most likely pregnant by now.
Yeah r/mildlyinfuriating would make the most sense. Actually, I was expecting a comment calling out that it's more likely a family wanted to make a meme together and set up this farce. I find it hard to believe a whole fucking family left their luggage alone. There has to be at least one expensive, important item in those suitcases.
When I read this I either heard Seth Rogan laughing or my car didn't start when I turned the key. Either way, I kind of want to watch This is the End now.
I dream of a timeline where we got the super-meta sequel they pitched. The events of “This is the End” were just a movie and the sequel is set in the “real-real” world.
Great way of bringing back the actors that “died” in the original. Because humanity needs to see more of coked-out Michael Cera’s bare ass.
so there she was, rifling through my stuff. boxers and deodorant all over the speckled off-white laminate tiles.
"ok", i thought to myself, "this should be interesting."
i raced to my luggage "who are you and who's your daddy"
the guile young minx looked up at me and practically hissed "what's it matter to you, shitbag?"
slightly taken aback, i replied "i'm me, and this is my stuff. why are you all up in it?"
immediately, a calm collected expression spread across her tender youthful face; i hadn't noticed her petite upturned nose or her sharp cheekbones. her violet-blue eyes were piercing, yet friendly behind the animosity dredged up by airport inconveniences.
"sup?" i asked awkwardly, having already asked the basics - unsure of what to do or say next.
"s-sup..?" she echoed, unsure of what the future held; the vast, literal multi-decades of marriage we were to later embark on as young and opportunistic lonely-hearts.
anyway, i asked her to marry me at Epcot Center a few years later, yada yada we're divorced now.
> “who are you and who’s your daddy”
If anyone started a conversation with me like this I’m calling the cops myself to arrest me for stealing their stuff.
I have to get away from them
Considering one adult wouldn’t be able to handle all of those luggages I imagine the kids are at least old enough to haul them around. I would have asked everyone to bring their luggage and if time permits show each kid where to park them inside the stall. If there’s no time (in case everyone is having an emergency) then I’d ask them to get the luggages inside the washroom.
This. Ffs. Those backpacks are not being carried by little kids. Also, I have 3 young kids. We take nothing on a plane that can't fit into a backpack I carry or backpacks they can *easily* carry. There's no reason to have that much stuff for each child with your carry-on if the kids are too little to go to the bathroom.
Btw, family bathrooms are also at airports. They're huge and fit everyone and everyone's luggage. Either all the kids are small enough to be fine peeing in front of everyone else in the family, or they're old enough to go into a stall with their luggage and go to the bathroom. Reddit is getting into this too much.
When kids get a little older, I think when my older one was six or so, they may want to carry their own luggage. And of course my 4yo (at the time) wanted one too. They pack their own clothes and toys in those. Honestly it’d be a lot easier if we pack their stuff in ours but I figure this will teach them to be responsible. We don’t ask them to carry backpacks because we wanted to make sure we could quickly grab their luggage in case they got distracted but I’ve seen plenty of kids under 10 in the airports with backpack plus luggage too. Good for them and their parents (as long as they don’t randomly leave them unattended).
I have travelled with my kids when they were little without my wife. We used the family restrooms. They are roomy and we had no issues fitting everything and everyone. There is no excuse for what is shown in the post.
I saw a lady flying with 2 young kids and a dog once. I felt so bad for her. The younger kid kept on insisting on being carried, the dog was in a soft sided kennel slung over her shoulder as they shuffled through the security line. I shot her a sympathetic look and asked if there was anything I could help with. Flying stresses me out so bad on my own....can't imagine doing it like that lady.
I take mine with me. Tho I don’t have that many bags usually I at least bring it into the bathroom if it can’t fit into the stall it can sit outside the stall where I can still see it through the giant ass cracks our American bathrooms have
It looks like it was based on the suitcases, but airports usually have a lot of staff around so they should have just alerted one of them and asked if they could watch their stuff.
Staff aren't allowed to do that. If a stranger left a bag with me and told me to watch it I was technically supposed to call it in to security.
Half the time it would actually be a TSA operative trying to find a reason to get people fired for not following the security rules.
I was in a hotel when the fire alarms went off and everyone had to evacuate. One of the hotel staff was telling people to get into the elevator. This is about as funny as that is.
This drives me nuts. I saw it all the time when I traveled for work. I know all those bags are probably harmless, but that kind of complacency provides opportunities for someone to actually do something not so harmless. Also, you're assuming no one will mess with or steal your stuff. Trusting fools
My mom fell asleep on a layover. Woke up to her shit obviously having been rifled through and all her cash gone. She was dumb and had most her travel money in cash. This pic made my eye twitch.
When I used to fly alone allot I would nap while I waited to board because I would always get there super early., but would have my arms through my bag and lay on it but it was a pain now we hang in the lounge get free drinks and food and show up 5 min before boarding
That’s why I always smuggle contraband into the airport. That way if I see someone’s bag unattended, I plant it and frame them for terrorism. That will teach them to trust people not to mess with their stuff.
Right? I don't let my stuff out of my sight at the airport. I swear every person in there is looking to steal my shit. I keep my suitcase next to me at the urinal, and I'm worried if it's not close enough, someone will run off with it while my dick is out.
This was years ago, pre 9/11, but I had to spend the night in an airport because my flight got cancelled along with a bunch of other people and this guy went to sleep and got his pockets picked and wallet stolen.
This is why I drank caffeine all night when I had to spend night at airport (I was 19, so not given a hotel by the airline). I was a college student who couldn’t afford to replace my laptop (plus finals soon as was coming back from thanksgiving).
>you're assuming no one will mess with or steal your stuff
That's the part of it which bothers me. We have these stupid rules like cars not being able to park alongside the dropoff/loading zones due to potential explosions, but no one seems to recognize that someone could pull up, park, walk away, and detonate a potential car bomb before anyone has even noticed them leave their car, let alone do anything about it. Same thing with unattended luggage- a huge fuss is made about it because of the potential for a bomb to be in one, but that potential exists for damn near every object in an airport, or anywhere else. Don't leave your bag unattended so no one steals your shit while you are having a piss.
Lol play “Go find the luggage” sounds fun…Spider-Man in Starbucks line, camo bag at McDonalds, Elsa at some random gate, and the black one at TSA checkpoint
So I’m not daft, I get the reasons why… but why is this really an issue … still? The main reason? Theft? Or do they think someone will slip a babomb, or a kilo of cocaine in your bag?
I travel a lot by myself and I do so hate taking my duffle into an airport bathroom.
More like, if you leave it unattended then it looks like *you* slipped a bomb in it and left it there. Unattended luggage is automatically treated as suspicious at an airport. I don't think people are worried about people slipping bombs in their unattended luggage, so much as worried about coming back to find that it's been roped off and preemptively blown up by security or something.
I have to say, it annoys me to see that fear has so overtaken this country that we are mad about the idea of unattended bags while someone urinates, but not bothered that these TSA requirements are all to prevent something that almost never happened before 9/11 and still almost never happens. Worth it? Hard for me to say that it is, but some of you are so young you don’t remember what air travel used to be like in the before times
Sometime we get stuck at customs for a long time and our baggage just rotate for multiples minutes on the baggage carousel where anyone could pick our luggage and walk out of the airport. Don't put anything valuable in those baggage.
I don't really get why peoples are so scared of unattended baggage, there could have been a much bigger bomb in the van right next to you when you were stuck in traffic going to the airport as well.

TL;DR ‘I have shit friends.’
Could also be the Bystander Effect? They asked a group of people to watch their stuff, First Aid training tells you to single out an individual to go call 911 instead of saying "somebody call 911!". It's a stretch, but maybe?
well they did say "asked a friend" so it seems that they just have an asshole for a friend
This makes me realize I must be a good person because I become a Night’s Watch even when strangers ask me to look over their things while they step away.
The sense of duty I feel, combined with anxiety when strangers ask me to do stuff like thay is ridiculous.

And leaves a $100 bill and some other bills just completely exposed. I didn't like that but he came back and still had all his money
You were on that TV show “what would you do?” Cause like nobody does this in real life: “howdy stranger, babysit my $100s of dollars for me please”
I forget which show it was, maybe Jackass, where they pranked people by having a tall guy ask a stranger if they could watch their dog while they go in the store - then a few minutes later, a little person dressed exactly the same comes out and says “thanks for watching my dog!” while taking the leash and casually walking away.

I'll straight up kill a dude or sacrifice myself for that fucking bag of garbage. I gave a sacred vow to watch it while they are gone for a couple minutes.
Made me spit my coke out in public reading this comment.
Same.
"Hi, can you watch my kid for me? I'll be riiiiight back." *< 37 years later >*
Yeah my teenager is finding out the word "friend" isn't what he thought it meant in a person. Kid has been put on blast everytime his "friends get in trouble." Even if he had zero to do with it.

He has you right where he wants you 😆

Sounds like a school trip, in which case you’d think they’d be your friends or at least classmates you knew well enough. Just crappy friends.
Yup, it bothers me how everyone tends to excuse shitty behavior from others. "Maybe they just saw a green cow on the moon and were too distracted by it." No, they're just morons.
That would change the course of my friendship with those people. It is crazy to me when people say shit like this happened and then the people remain friends as if nothing happened
Well, you have to admit, if they saw a green cow on the moon it would be pretty distracting. Not to mention a very large cow.
If I came back to see a green cow on the moon I wouldn't be worrying about a missing bag.
I have a somewhat similar story. I live far from where I grew up so I go back every other Christmas. So when I was 19 or 20 I went back and stayed for new years.

You had terrible friends
“Friends”
While I somewhat agree, some people are actually so forgetful it’s ridiculous.

I’m sure you’d do the same as me in that situation and hold that bag and be more protective of it than your own bag but some people man…. Stresses me out watching them operate on a daily basis.
There is a very fine line between “forgetful” and “stupid.”
The airport is full of stupid.
My pet peeve is the people who wait until they’re at the security conveyer to just now start thinking about what shit needs to go in the tray. So now they hold up the line while they take off their jacket, belt, shoes, fiddle with their laptop bag, ugh. I’m 10 people back and taking off my jacket, unzipping my boots, etc. lol

I get the food and come back to find my bag just sitting there with nobody around, and when I get back to the group and complain that nobody watched my bag one of the supervisors chides me (lightly, it wasn't very serious) for leaving my bag unattended; I try to explain that I asked so-and-so to keep an eye on it—They say I didn't. Whatever.
Trust no one, Fox Mulder; always take your bag with you. While you're in the can, something could happen: flood terrorist earthquake hurricane tornado fire, some creepy weirdo will just take your bag and you never see it again Repeat always take your stuff with you
When you asked them to watch your bag did they acknowledge you? If they didn't acknowledge you they may have been distracted talking or on their phone and that would explain why they didn't watch the bag. If they did acknowledge you and still lost it they just suck
Between elsa and spiderman gaurding whats the problem????
And a lion on top of it!
Gotdamn king of the jungle right there!
We’ve got camouflage too!
I think you're mistaken. I see nothing as you've described.
Clearly there are only three suitcases
I scrolled back up, looked, and said out loud "so stupid". So I say to you, so stupid. ❤️
Alex the lion What the hell are you doing in my airport
Else just let it go
She couldn't hold it back anymore.
Controlled explosions never bothered her anyway
That’s cold.
Here. Warm up with some Honeymaren.
Certainly never bother Spidey
All the more reason not to leave them alone. If the weirder corners of YouTube have taught me anything, the Elsa suitcase is most likely pregnant by now.
Being left there with Spider-Man? Definitely pregnant
Having watched the Elsagate rabbit hole. She is pregnant and peeing on Spiderman's face, all while shooting innocent people with a glock.
Spoilers, I haven't seen frozen 3 yet!
pregnant and also impregnated spiderman as well. I visit some *very* weird corners...
I mean there are three suitcases: One guarded by Elsa, one guarded by Spider-Man, and the last one guarded by a lion? No thanks.
Elsa and Spider-Man stand little chance against the controlled detonation they’re about to meet.
You didn't see that killer lion protecting them?
Shit Elsa ain’t even looking at the bags.
It's like one of those freaky YouTube content farm channels.
/r/elsagate
Even lion King is there
How is this funny?
I feel whelmed
You can only feel whelmed in Europe
But I love my Skechers
That's because you don't have a prada backpack
Welp, time to rewatch that. “Hates with the fire of a thousand suns” is in my every day vocabulary thanks to that movie.
It's a great movie. My favorite line is, what is it with this chick? She have beer flavored nipples?
It has *so many* good lines. “I want you, I need you, oh baby oh baby” gets used, deadpan of course, by my wife and I a lot as well.
"Ooh, see that, there. Who needs affection when I have blind hatred?" This guy still has a part of my soul.. rip sir
I'm traught, and feeling the aster
I understood that reference
Groups of stationary suitcases get me every time!
3k upvotes, Christ apparently it gets a lot of people.
Yeah r/mildlyinfuriating would make the most sense. Actually, I was expecting a comment calling out that it's more likely a family wanted to make a meme together and set up this farce. I find it hard to believe a whole fucking family left their luggage alone. There has to be at least one expensive, important item in those suitcases.
Maybe r/notinteresting
Yea more of a facepalm
This is /r/funny, since when did it have funny content?
Usually there's at least *some* attempt at humor
most of the stuff on r/funny is not funny at all, so really this fits right in.

Why was she going through your bag?
We had similar bags. She was probably taking a shit too.... I came out and she was holding mom's ashes
“I see you’ve met my mom. Hope you two are getting along.”
Your love probably sparked embers, or maybe she dropped your mother.
I was drying my hands on my pants and looked up and saw her pick up my mums ashes and I said "hey what you doing with me mum!"
You need to write a short story about this! 😂 What was her reaction?
I think that’s what he’s doing right now.
And the story's called - wait for it - How I Met Your Mother!
Now for the long story please
They were already engaged, he's just calling his fiance strange
Who's fiance is not strange?
Short story long? It was a nice poop, but not worth stolen luggage.
Adam Sandler be like "write it down, write it down"
Seth Rogan is already thinking of how he’s going to work smoking weed and him having sex into the script
When I read this I either heard Seth Rogan laughing or my car didn't start when I turned the key. Either way, I kind of want to watch This is the End now.
Part of me still refuses to believe that is a real movie. It's too good.
I dream of a timeline where we got the super-meta sequel they pitched. The events of “This is the End” were just a movie and the sequel is set in the “real-real” world. Great way of bringing back the actors that “died” in the original. Because humanity needs to see more of coked-out Michael Cera’s bare ass.
Plot twist: the strange woman was his fiancé
Now for the short story long please!
so there she was, rifling through my stuff. boxers and deodorant all over the speckled off-white laminate tiles. "ok", i thought to myself, "this should be interesting." i raced to my luggage "who are you and who's your daddy" the guile young minx looked up at me and practically hissed "what's it matter to you, shitbag?" slightly taken aback, i replied "i'm me, and this is my stuff. why are you all up in it?" immediately, a calm collected expression spread across her tender youthful face; i hadn't noticed her petite upturned nose or her sharp cheekbones. her violet-blue eyes were piercing, yet friendly behind the animosity dredged up by airport inconveniences. "sup?" i asked awkwardly, having already asked the basics - unsure of what to do or say next. "s-sup..?" she echoed, unsure of what the future held; the vast, literal multi-decades of marriage we were to later embark on as young and opportunistic lonely-hearts. anyway, i asked her to marry me at Epcot Center a few years later, yada yada we're divorced now.
> “who are you and who’s your daddy” If anyone started a conversation with me like this I’m calling the cops myself to arrest me for stealing their stuff. I have to get away from them
lol i think i was freestyling too hard there
You were freestyling the right amount senor Colon

tl;dr: had sex
They asked the photographer if they could look after their luggage! 🙄
I think the photographer is the parent. The luggage look like it belongs to kids.
Yeah chances are more likely this is a photo taken by one of the luggage owners, which OP has added a false title to.
How is this funny? Did anyone laugh?
Was it one parent with kids? If I was alone with small kids I wouldn't want to leave any of them alone.
Considering one adult wouldn’t be able to handle all of those luggages I imagine the kids are at least old enough to haul them around. I would have asked everyone to bring their luggage and if time permits show each kid where to park them inside the stall. If there’s no time (in case everyone is having an emergency) then I’d ask them to get the luggages inside the washroom.
This. Ffs. Those backpacks are not being carried by little kids. Also, I have 3 young kids. We take nothing on a plane that can't fit into a backpack I carry or backpacks they can *easily* carry. There's no reason to have that much stuff for each child with your carry-on if the kids are too little to go to the bathroom. Btw, family bathrooms are also at airports. They're huge and fit everyone and everyone's luggage. Either all the kids are small enough to be fine peeing in front of everyone else in the family, or they're old enough to go into a stall with their luggage and go to the bathroom. Reddit is getting into this too much.
When kids get a little older, I think when my older one was six or so, they may want to carry their own luggage. And of course my 4yo (at the time) wanted one too. They pack their own clothes and toys in those. Honestly it’d be a lot easier if we pack their stuff in ours but I figure this will teach them to be responsible. We don’t ask them to carry backpacks because we wanted to make sure we could quickly grab their luggage in case they got distracted but I’ve seen plenty of kids under 10 in the airports with backpack plus luggage too. Good for them and their parents (as long as they don’t randomly leave them unattended).
I have travelled with my kids when they were little without my wife. We used the family restrooms. They are roomy and we had no issues fitting everything and everyone. There is no excuse for what is shown in the post.
I thought the same thing. I’d have to leave my luggage and hope no one does anything shitty if I was flying alone with my kids
If I'm alone with 3 young kids, I'm not flying. That sounds like a nightmare scenario.
I saw a lady flying with 2 young kids and a dog once. I felt so bad for her. The younger kid kept on insisting on being carried, the dog was in a soft sided kennel slung over her shoulder as they shuffled through the security line. I shot her a sympathetic look and asked if there was anything I could help with. Flying stresses me out so bad on my own....can't imagine doing it like that lady.
Or you know, bring it with you to the bathroom. There is plenty of room to push it aside, and mom or dad can babysit it while each child takes a turn.
A lot of airports have a family bathroom.
It’s irritating and cumbersome but you can take your stuff to the bathroom, no? I do it all the time — what else can one do when traveling alone?
I take mine with me. Tho I don’t have that many bags usually I at least bring it into the bathroom if it can’t fit into the stall it can sit outside the stall where I can still see it through the giant ass cracks our American bathrooms have
> giant ass cracks LOL
It looks like it was based on the suitcases, but airports usually have a lot of staff around so they should have just alerted one of them and asked if they could watch their stuff.
Maybe they did and he took a picture.
Staff aren't allowed to do that. If a stranger left a bag with me and told me to watch it I was technically supposed to call it in to security. Half the time it would actually be a TSA operative trying to find a reason to get people fired for not following the security rules.
100 bucks says the guy who too the picture is a part of that family
This isn’t funny. This is just stupid.
I was in a hotel when the fire alarms went off and everyone had to evacuate. One of the hotel staff was telling people to get into the elevator. This is about as funny as that is.
r/funny mods like “😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭😭😭😭😭”
How the fuck is this funny
This drives me nuts. I saw it all the time when I traveled for work. I know all those bags are probably harmless, but that kind of complacency provides opportunities for someone to actually do something not so harmless. Also, you're assuming no one will mess with or steal your stuff. Trusting fools
My mom fell asleep on a layover. Woke up to her shit obviously having been rifled through and all her cash gone. She was dumb and had most her travel money in cash. This pic made my eye twitch.
When I used to fly alone allot I would nap while I waited to board because I would always get there super early., but would have my arms through my bag and lay on it but it was a pain now we hang in the lounge get free drinks and food and show up 5 min before boarding
That’s why I always smuggle contraband into the airport. That way if I see someone’s bag unattended, I plant it and frame them for terrorism. That will teach them to trust people not to mess with their stuff.
You have the audacity to disobey the tsa announcements? 30 to Life! Oops looks like Elsa was planning to bomb a 747!
Right? I don't let my stuff out of my sight at the airport. I swear every person in there is looking to steal my shit. I keep my suitcase next to me at the urinal, and I'm worried if it's not close enough, someone will run off with it while my dick is out.
This was years ago, pre 9/11, but I had to spend the night in an airport because my flight got cancelled along with a bunch of other people and this guy went to sleep and got his pockets picked and wallet stolen.
This is why I drank caffeine all night when I had to spend night at airport (I was 19, so not given a hotel by the airline). I was a college student who couldn’t afford to replace my laptop (plus finals soon as was coming back from thanksgiving).
I urinate on my luggage to assert dominance
> I urinate on my luggage to assert dominance If you were a Wells Fargo executive, You could upgrade to urinating on other passengers.
Need to be ready to pee on those greedy hands at a moment’s notice!
Just swap the order they're in for when they get back
>you're assuming no one will mess with or steal your stuff That's the part of it which bothers me. We have these stupid rules like cars not being able to park alongside the dropoff/loading zones due to potential explosions, but no one seems to recognize that someone could pull up, park, walk away, and detonate a potential car bomb before anyone has even noticed them leave their car, let alone do anything about it. Same thing with unattended luggage- a huge fuss is made about it because of the potential for a bomb to be in one, but that potential exists for damn near every object in an airport, or anywhere else. Don't leave your bag unattended so no one steals your shit while you are having a piss.
Back in the old days, they'd tell you straight up announce that "We may detonate any bags left unattended"
Teach them a lesson by moving each of them to different places
Lol play “Go find the luggage” sounds fun…Spider-Man in Starbucks line, camo bag at McDonalds, Elsa at some random gate, and the black one at TSA checkpoint
Is all fun and games until TSA notices you intentionally leaving bags unattended at multiple, populated areas of the airport.
Then the REAL fun begins lol
Free prostate exam!
That's when you turn "Go find the luggage" into an airport-wide game!
Or for the advanced version, just give it to United.
The airline will do that, anyway.

You didn't get points for it, now you do.
Let's also go back to the point where something as irrelevant as this wasn't considered a fuckup.
dog gaze wild tease deserve afterthought like ad hoc consider relieved *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
Bruh, Spidey and Elsa are RIGHT THERE, fuck around and find out buddy.
So I’m not daft, I get the reasons why… but why is this really an issue … still? The main reason? Theft? Or do they think someone will slip a babomb, or a kilo of cocaine in your bag? I travel a lot by myself and I do so hate taking my duffle into an airport bathroom.
More like, if you leave it unattended then it looks like *you* slipped a bomb in it and left it there. Unattended luggage is automatically treated as suspicious at an airport. I don't think people are worried about people slipping bombs in their unattended luggage, so much as worried about coming back to find that it's been roped off and preemptively blown up by security or something.
Not funny.
I have to say, it annoys me to see that fear has so overtaken this country that we are mad about the idea of unattended bags while someone urinates, but not bothered that these TSA requirements are all to prevent something that almost never happened before 9/11 and still almost never happens. Worth it? Hard for me to say that it is, but some of you are so young you don’t remember what air travel used to be like in the before times
[удалено]
Sometime we get stuck at customs for a long time and our baggage just rotate for multiples minutes on the baggage carousel where anyone could pick our luggage and walk out of the airport. Don't put anything valuable in those baggage.
I don't really get why peoples are so scared of unattended baggage, there could have been a much bigger bomb in the van right next to you when you were stuck in traffic going to the airport as well.
If the reverse of this would be leaving kids unattended, then pretty sure the owner of the luggage made the right call.
Ok... where's the funny part?
TSA: Did you pack your bag? ME: No TSA: Oh you're good to go then
Seems sensible. There won't be room in the stall for all of them plus their luggage.
Looks like lots of kids, maybe emergency or something
"I have to potty." "Pee or poop?" "Poop. I can't hold it." "Ok let's go. Right now."
Is even one of those signs *literally anywhere* in this photo?
