5/20/2023 PSA
When you see someone who is obviously carrying all their possessions, it is, in my opinion, in poor taste, rude, and quite unoriginal to comment on the size and scale of their load. For example, even in a cheerful tone, "wow, you've got a....wide load there," is intrusive, judgemental, and downright not true. Unless you're also carrying all your possessions and have obviously less than the person you are calling attention to with ridicule, it is you, not he, who has the wide load.
Compared to his body, yes, his load might be wider, but that observation has the intelligence level of a 3 year old remarking, "it's daytime!" when the sun is out. No one's impressed that you can compare the size of a backpack to the size of a human. Ever try carrying your mattress, everything from the kitchen, living room, dining room, bathroom, along with the walls, roof and floor all at once? No? Then it's best to keep your "wide load" comments to yourself. It's not a complement. It's showing off to everyone else within earshot how much better of a person you think you are because of your quantity of possessions so great you couldn't possibly carry it all at once. You might as well be kicking dirt in their face. Comments are closed.
