Don't get me wrong, many are very nice people and probably sharp as a tack, but at some point it is time to move on.
Absolutely awesome!

I've given up on helping them with bags. I'll be nice to them in every other way (well, "almost" every other way), but it's a principle of mine that they lift what they pack. I have enough back and shoulder problems with the crap we have to carry. I've had them stand near an overhead with the look (and whimpering) your dog gives you when it needs to go outside, and I've even had one tell me that carrying her bags was a precondition to eating. They were all disappointed in the outcome.
