Speaking of trips, my wife refuses to use luggage unless we are getting on a plane. So for weekend trips using the car, which are most of our trips, she uses open top bags for all of her shit. Clothes, toiletries, hair dryers, everything, just stuffed in fucking bags . Does the same thing with groceries - paper sacks upon paper sacks of groceries. That might not sound that bad, but when you go to pack the car you understand what is wrong with this. Shit easily falls out of bags that don't even have a way to close. Plus, open bags really don't stack well, so they have to go on top. As opposed to cuboid shaped suitcases and totes that stack and pack very well. Shit drives me crazy. I've asked her nicely, even if she doesn't understand the reasons why, to please, pretty fucking please with a cherry on top - use a fucking suitcase. Refuses.
