Excess Baggage

Got back from my trip. On the return flight, there was a Japanse lady with her son and tons of hand luggage. Why would someone bring 6 pieces of hand luggage plus 3 boxes of computer stuff? It's kind of weird and also expensive. She was hogging all of the space in the overhead compartments. Why didn't she just buy some large suitcases instead? It's really weird.

Also, her son (or maybe her grandson) was completely indifferent and not helping her at all. What a lazy bum! He was probably 16 or 17 and he just sat in his seat while she tried to put stuff up in the compartments. She had to climb up on the arms of the seats too while the son was a lot bigger and taller.

I have to say that there are 3 places where I see inconsiderate people:

1. movie theatre
2. buses
3. airplanes
