To the girl who let me know my backpack was open and then offered to zip up my backpack when she realized I had no free hands and was running down Spring Garden like a maniac, thank you. I walked by at least 20 people and no one told me. Not only did you save me from potentially losing my laptop, you showed me the east coast kindness when I needed it the most. —Thankful Girl With a Laptop

wow, you would think you’d take the proper time to secure something as important as a laptop…
consider yourself lucky… those screens are quite fragile and damned expensive to replace.
had you dropped it and the hard drive still work, you’d have basically turned your lappy into a desktop.
Breathe… take a moment… relax… and secure your shit before you go pounding pave like a maniac.
