Why does everyone own black suitcases.

I see travelers commute all the time. And they are always wheeling or carrying black canvas suitcases. When I travel, I use my orange and gray colored suitcase, and I also have a bright red one. That way, it never gets lost among other people's suitcases in the loading bay. Why do people follow trends so closely without any logic or reasoning? I used to own a black samsonite suitcase, until I had someone mistake mine for theirs and take it away. I spent 2 days without it until they realized their fuck up and returned it back to the airport. Although I got everything back, I'm not buying generically identical looking things ever again if I can avoid it.

 

You may not realize it but this is an offshoot of a question for the ages. Why are human beings so facinated with stereotypes and fashions? I honestly don't know the true answer to it but at least we know we are.

 

It's a repercussion from the slave trade.. it's hardwired into everyones brains that blacks should do all the hard work, and the suitcase companies are exploiting this fact by making mostly black suitcases, which will solidify this racial prejudice among the masses in society, because only a few other colours are available.. and then lots of other stuff will happen, which will result in free labour in Africa.
The Global Suitcase Corporation(GSC) will make it out like they're doing Africa a favour by giving them wells with lots of flouride in return for this labour, but really they just wanna make cheap suitcases and take over the world.

If you smoke enough, GSC is actually Illuminati spelled backwards.

 

My suitcases are bright orange. I have two of them. They're very light weight and can fit a lot and being bright orange I can spot them a mile away.

 

Funny but that's pretty far out.

 

It's true, I swear it. I read it in Woman's Weekly

 

because black suitcases make you look classy, and not like a tourist.

 

I don't think I even own a suitcase anymore. When I did they were maroon. Then again I never did follow trends.

 

I'm sure I got some somewhere. I'm also sure they're black rollers I got em from my dad so I can't really say I'd pick em anyway. When I lived homeless I used a big tye dyed sack as my "suitcase"

 

Mines blue

 

As long as this thread doesn't morph into "Why do the Dutch hate to admit they own black suitcases?"

Psychedelic-color suitcases would be different. You'd be able to recognize yours on the baggage conveyor over all the mundane black ones. Each one could be a unique set of colors and pattern. But that takes creativity and work to produce, so it's not likely to happen in the mundane mainstream industry.

 

So why do the dutch hate to admit they own black suitcases?

 

The same reason that 10million people also have the same reddish luggage that I have. It was the colour of the affordable stuff. Unique suitcases tend to be a little pricier.

 

well im a working poor

never been on vacation either where we couldnt just drive back home to sleep

 

I have a couple of ugly blue ones from the 1970s.

I've never owned a blac suitcase. Now that I think of it, the only suitcases I've ever owned are the set my Grandparents gave me. They're that brown/tan ugly looking color that was popular in the 70's. I think the couch my parents had when I was little was the same fabric.

 

I just use duffle bags

 

who is this everyone? i do own a battered old black briefcase, that i think must have come to me free, because the only one i ever remember buying was brown.

as for suitcases, i have never owned one of any color.

i have a black daypack that came with my laptop computer. and two blue ones.
i'm not really big on conventional luggage, considering it primarily a waste of space.
i have several satchil/ditty, bags, and a number of canvas bags, including one insulated one i use to carry groceries.

for perminent moves, cardbord boxes seem to be my primary means of packing up.

normally when i go to an event that is in another town, like a furry convention or a train show, i'll take one hand grip (satchil/ditty bag) and one daypack.

any more then i can carry that way, is more then i need to lug around with me.

if i were driving, i'd simply pack stuff into the vehicle directly.

never could make sense of 'suit cases'. my mom had a couple and an old giagantic steamer trunk like you see in old movies like from the 1930s and 40s. never went anywhere with them. my dad would generally travel light like me. when he did.

 

They don't have any!

 

I own a black roll-away with a black carry-on that hooks around the handle because they were one of the neat things the class parents gave as gifts at our post-graduation party in high school.
