Women Be Trippin everywhere and all the time. Here’s the next chapter in our list of 101 Ways Women Be Trippin.
It is common practice for anyone traveling to bring an extra pair of underwear, socks or even a jacket or sweatshirt. Most people would call these items “just-in-case” clothes because, well, just in case.
So if you’ve ever been traveling with your girlfriend, mom, sister, or maybe you yourself are a compulsive suitcase stuffer, you know how ridiculous women can be when it comes to overpacking. It usually works like this: an overnight bag has clothes to last the average girl an entire holiday weekend. Packing for a weekend trip involves at least one moderate sized rolling suitcase, a purse and maybe a carry-on. One to two week trips, no matter where, no matter how much extra luggage charges are and no matter how readily available laundry machines are (god forbid you should have to do laundry away from home), we’re talking two or more large suitcases that could not have been zipped without some major squeezing and stuffing.
This goes beyond “just in case.” At this point, we’re talking an entire wardrobe folded up in your Samsonite. This is an “I can’t go anywhere without my 4 different conditioners, hairdryer, that dress I never wear but you never know… and I need a different pair of shoes every day” kind of trip. These trips are guaranteed to be headaches from the start because these girls are packing suitcases that weigh more than them. There’s no chance that a girl who packs two enormous suitcases weighing over 200 lbs is carrying that herself.
Which means some annoyed boyfriend, brother or even worse yet a stranger is now hauling your life in two rolling Louis Vittons while you just point and hold your purse. Point is, nobody likes to get a hernia from lifting other people’s stuff, and nobody likes the high maintenance overpackers who can’t carry their own shit. Keep it simple, ladies.









I think this is a myth, brought to us by sitcoms. I always bring one bag. I went out of the country for over a week with one bag. I’ve traveled with lots of girls, and I don’t think they ever had more than one bag either.
I’m sure some people over-pack, but I really don’t think this happens that often.
And srsly, four different conditioners in Louis Vittons suitcases? I think you mean rich people be trippin.
