PSA: Dear indian men...

[Kelvrick]

I don't remember seeing a backpack on anyone with an actual suit jacket but see backpacks over a shirt/tie combo all the time. I don't know what to think of the people who wheel around what looks like luggage to work everyday. Sometimes it looks heavy, sometimes it looks like they're a pansy who holds everyone up at steps.

I see a couple (half) Indians wearing backpacks everyday but they are my 7YO and 5YO boys.

Your half or her half? Indian women are hawt.

Indian guy + white girl, guaranteed. All my brown friends lust after the "ice queens"

tons of people wear backpacks to work at my office.

 

[Phoenix86]

This is one of the worst rants I've ever seen here in ATOT, and I've been here for a long time.

That's because it's a PSA, not a rant.

What brand is your backpack?

 

[M0oG0oGaiPan]

why don't you be a real man and leave a passive agressive note on a bulletin board somewhere?

 

[OutHouse]

lots of people in my office use backpacks (non indian) and will sometimes myself. i see nothing wrong with it. most of the ones i see people wear are Targus backpacks solid black or red. i have never seen a adult wearing a power rangers backpack if i did i would point and laugh.

 

[amdhunter]

I carry my blackpack at all times.

 

[dighn]

our CEO (white) wears/wore a backpack

you are correct but I tried dating Indian girls and it was horrible. Most of them were high-maintenance, spoiled, and very selfish. While most of them were attractive, smart and goal-oriented; hardly any were athletic (important for me).

I have a few female cousins and I feel bad for the guys that put up with their drama.

Not that hard to get a laptop bag, I dont really like briefcases though seems like they would be a pain to carry. Im in school still and I dont even use a backpack anymore.

 

[vshah]

Pics now plz.

:awe:

 

[Jeeebus]

If someone can find a way to make the Indian/Pakistani men shower and/or use deodorant, I'll gladly let them slide on wearing a backpack.

That is one aspect of the DC metro system that I don't miss. Ughh, just the thought of it is nauseating.

 

[Barfo]

I think it's justified if they wear this backpack.

 

[preCRT]

What about using a messenger bag? Holds almost as much stuff and has a short handle if you're too stuffy to use the shoulder strap.

 

[vshah]

the worst is the rolling backpack

 

[dudeofdur]

are we talking about a barbie backpack or a targus laptop backpack?

 

[Capt Caveman]

I bring a backpack to work. It carries my laptop, lunch and running clothes as I usually run home from work. Oh, noes. I didn't realize I was wearing my pajamas!

OP = Dumbass

Stories from the professional world:

When I started my job, we were all given a backpack with a laptop sleeve and a company logo on the outside. Use it regularly and great for business trips.

My company did the same thing.

I abhor messenger bags and briefcases. Backpack makes the most sense since it is symmetrical, but I wouldn't wear one with a suit...

 

[Mahaguru]

Here is the deal, most of these awkward dressing Indian guys you see are on short term consulting visas or H1. They will likely not stick around here for too long. Those days of everyone with an H1 getting sponsored for a green card are gone. Also, they have several opportunities in India once they have that American experience on their resume. So they want to maximize their experience, and minimize their expenses. So they probably don't care what a few people think about their backpacks. It gets the job done.

That's what I actually expected this thread to be about.

Take a fucking shower will ya?

(and cut down on the curry...that stench doesn't ever go away)

Really? Who the fuck cares. Find something better to do with your time than worry about what other people wear.
