Whose luggage is this?

[almostwitty]

Whenever i go travelling i am usually quite obsessive about keeping my luggage with me just in case anyone nicks my precious things if nothing else!

So I was quite surprised when i was at Victoria Coach station (the nearest thing london has to a refugee camp theme park experience) and saw a suitcase sitting by itself taking up a valuable seat.

after about twenty minutes i started making discreet enquiries amongst my fellow passengers as to whether it was their suitcase. It wasnt.

so i alerted the station supervisor who started prodding it with his foot. Immediately some guy at the back who had headphones on ran over and claimed it. He got a lecture.

but never mind the potential terrorist problems. Why would someone leave their bag on a seat and then stand at the back somewhere ? Who are you "saving" the seat for ?!

travellers. Tsk tsk.

I dunno why people do that. The ladies I work with do that all the time with their coffee. They set it down and then walk off without it, forgetting it's there. If you are drinking it how can you forget where you set it? And then I see girls do this at bars all the time, where they will leave their coats or their handbags(!!) some place and then later run frantically around in a panic looking for them.

Are people really just that daft?
