Wheeled Backpacks: Sack up and pick your pack up

I tried to be cool about this. Some people have a lot of crap in their bags, and putting it on wheels makes some sense, but it has gotten out of hand. On a college campus you can't make it ten feet without having to maneuver past some idiot who is dragging a backpack across the sidewalk at a snail's pace. Some people might really need this new innovation, but most of the folks that I see using the wheeled dorkpack are just plain lazy pieces of crap. I'd say that about a tenth of the rolling backpack population really needs to have their bag on wheels. And the rest of you need to stop fronting like it's luggage and pick up your stupid backpacks. You aren't at the airport, you're at school, and if your backpack is so heavy, then deal with the workout or don't put so much crap in your bag.If this lame trend doesn't stop we're going to need to have special crosswalks for these dweebs so that they don't overrun the whole dang footpath. I know the backpack has wheels, but it has shoulder straps too, so please, for the love of Jesus, pick up your @#$!.
