I've helped people with bags that weighed at least 15 kg.

I've seen people walk on with a case with wheels, a bag over their shoulder, and a backpack.

Crazy.

I carry one small bag, that would be about 5 or 6 kg at the most.

No Gordon darling. I am rational.

I am not going to risk my back for somebody who was greedy and had heavy carry-on luggage that she expected others to manipulate.

You're a feeble man. Any bloke should be able to manage at least 20kg without even feeling it.

You're also a selfish twonk who won't help a woman in need.

Shame on you.

She would have been overwhelmed with offers if she was young and good looking.

The silly old woman shouldn't have been carrying on board luggage she couldn't handle herself.

She couldn't lift it above her waist it was that heavy. Probably full of bottles of grog.

The feeble man only helps good looking women with their bags but lets the poor old dears injure themselves.

FEEBLE MAN

Good looking wealthy women don't lug heavy carry-ons around. Only cheap old hags do that.
