41 pages...I'm sure by now grown men who wear backpacks have been mentioned.

what- they're supposed to wear fanny-packs?

How much stuff do they have to carry? Do they have extra #2 pencils?

so yes to fanny-packs?

So, what's in your backpack?

I ain't wearin' no stinkin' backpacks- what am I, a moron?

"News" programs showing clips from the Internet. C'mon guys, you're better than that.

And news programs that show quotes from twitter to make their point. As if the morons on twitter have any credibility

"News" programs showing clips from the Internet. C'mon guys, you're better than that.

it's better than "news" programs showing clips from other shows on their own network as "news".

Still better than local "news" being nothing but ads for local merchants.

which is better than "news" shows that come to your house and claim that you've been stalking teenagers at the swimming pool. I'm told.

Man, those are the worst.

Can you qualify this? Use a backpack like this for my work laptop, cables, pens, business cards, other papers. I wear it on one shoulder from the walk to and from the car. I also use it as an airplane carry-on bag for under my seat.

Certainly you aren't referring to people such as myself.

I can't tell you why it bugs me so much. I don't mind over-the-shoulder laptop bags, or briefcases, or even satchels. For some reason, though, backpacks bug me. I dunno...different strokes, I guess.

That would go well with a pair of capri pants.

for clarity- any messenger style bag is a purse to PS? so by necessity (fear of looking like he's wearing a purse) he has to look like a college IT major and wear a backpack?

I have no fear of looking like I'm wearing a purse.

I just have to have matching shoes.

What's wrong with back packs exactly?

I always refer to my laptop bag as my pocketbook. The gals at work think it's funny. We accountants are a simple bunch of nerds.

Unless I'm travelling on business that's what I use for my carry-on.

I've used the same backpack since college for any trips I take. It's convenient to have a bag that doesn't weigh on only one shoulder.

Maybe I'm alone here. I just think it's goofy seeing a guy in a shirt & tie or a suit walking around with a backpack on both shoulders. I can't really give an explanation beyond thinking that it looks out of place.

Carryon or taking hiking seems ok. for work? You guys bringing backpacks to the office?

No, it looks goofy. If it didn't have so much utility, it'd get laughed out of serious style discussions. It's just that sometimes...well...one has a lot of stuff.

But it looks similar to when guys wear sneakers with their suit or when women wear tennis shoes with skirts. Something is off.

It's why dress codes that are completely non-utilitarian are also prone to these abuses. I think dress-up should be for parties, not to signal some sort of weird adherence to a conscious ethic about that which is appropriate for work, work being, at its essence, function and achievement above all other things.

I call it a Go bag.

I think it is a sweet look with a shirt and tie, especially if the shirt is short-sleeved and the backpack is worn over both shoulders.

For the love of God, please stop tucking your ears into your ballcaps. Here in SoCal, it's a huge whitetrashy sorta thing, but I see the likes of Colin Kaepernick and other wannabe ghetto thugs pulling this off too. I guess it's one of those things where trashy white dudes are trying to "keep it real, yo".

Throat punch imminent.

In Kaepernick's defense, if he doesn't tuck them in he looks like a car going down the street with the doors open.

Way back in 1968 Mr. Spock actually invented this look whenever he would go back in time to an era that did not appreciate pointy ears.
