Those of you following along at home may remember that the Lady is fundamentally opposed to wheel-along suitcases, on the grounds that they make men unattractive. So of course I had to call her in for an opinion on what I foolishly thought was an awesome mashup between a suitcase and a scooter, the Trolley Scooter
Me: What do you think of this?
The Lady: No. Oh my god. No.
Me: What’s wrong with it?
The Lady: Everything. Everything is wrong with it.
Me: Like what?
The Lady: You won’t get “desired”* if you use that in an airport.
Me: Maybe traveling in an airport is just about traveling, and not about getting “desired”.
This earns me a withering stare. I feel like a five-year old who just asked to borrow the car keys.
The Lady: Everything is about getting “desired”. You drink Coca-Cola to get “desired”. Tell me, if you saw a girl riding that, that thing in an airport, would you want to “desire” her?
Me: Erm…
The Lady: Would you?
Me: No?
So there you have it. What at first seems like a simple (and carry-on compliant) way to have some fun in the terminal is in fact a highly complex sexual game, like – it is now evident – every product ever sold. Somebody needs to get on the phone with the co-conspirators of this design prototype, Samsonite and Micro Mobility (maker of those yuppy-favorite fold-up scooters), and tell them how things are. And if you want to know what bag you’ll need if you want to get “desired” by the girls, it’s the Ortlieb Velocity backpack, which is the Ldy’s favorite.
*Not the actual word she used.
