PSA: The guy next to me on the 7:15 out of Grand Central told me my backpack was "a weapon," and he was right
I'd been swinging that thing onto my shoulder every morning for 2 years until he asked me to stop hitting him in the head with it, so now I hold it by the top loop and set it on my lap for the whole ride, which is way less annoying for everyone including me, and honestly how did nobody say something sooner?
You said nobody said something for 2 years, but did you ever notice people flinching or leaning away before that guy finally spoke up? I ask because I've been that person on the other end, getting whacked in the head every morning, and I always stayed quiet too. Makes me wonder how many of us just sit there and take it instead of saying something.
