mother fuckers knicked both my backpacks.

honestly, if we told the douches to stand up straight they probably wouldnt suffer so bad. assuming its under 30 lbs, its not the backpack, its the moron wearing it like mr burns thats thats the problem.

30lbs is a lot of weight if you carry it a lot, walk with it, etc. This is especially true for people with weak backs. If you weigh 100lbs, 30lbs is 30% of your weight!
