F**k Its prolapsed
My bad it was only my bag
INTRODUCTION
My bag, don't worry. Let’s talk accessories for a bit. There are many inconveinces that occur when you misjudge what you might need for a commute. Let’s take the train, for example. If you choose to sit at a table, you can either put your bag on your lap or in the racks above, if you aren't scared of someone coming and stealing it. its not like they will get far, but still, it’s a fear. What I choose to do is shove my bag under my seat, totally obliterating the contents and squeezing my legs around it for extra security. It works, but it’s most likely not the best way to approach this situation. The main issue I face, which you might share, is getting my bag out of the place I've shoved it into. How it manages to fit down there, and then it doesn't matter how hard I pull it, it doesn't matter its not coming out. resulting in me sliding my bag out into the aisle and back. Extremely long.
I hear you say why not get a laptop rucksack or sling: I’ll give you two reasons why I disagree with them. Number 1, someone might steal it as its works when the bag looks like a laptop, as someone automatically knows it has a laptop in it, and therefore it’s easier to steal. The second reason is that I will have the urge to swing it like a hammer throw at school. I'm not sure how that reflects my mental age, but let’s face it, I haven't grown up yet. so id defiently break my laptop once getting it. Therefore, the bag is stupid.
Why not leave your laptop at work?
Well, what if? We flood, and the snowfall is so extreme. I forget ive left my laptop at work, and then proceeded to turn my house upside down looking for something that isn't there, like my common sense.
The solution I've come up with is using a tennis bag, which provides more storage than I'll ever need. I can bring a tennis racket if someone really pisses me off, I'm kidding. There’s room for both laptops, and it’s discreet enough that people think. There's no laptop in that bag, are you kidding me? He’s just enthusiastic about sports and likes to make everyone aware of his exercise. Enough room for a thousand pairs of odd gloves that I never wear and get cold. That lunchbox that has seen better days, I'm pretty sure the plastic is disintegrating. The only issue with the bag is the bottom of it. There’s a zip and then a portion for shoes whenever I need them.
the problem. somehow every so often, the zip undoes itself, and then my bag prolapses like a.... . Resulting in the tube, train, or pavement getting sprinkle of random objects I've stuffed in there over time. I do wish it would stay shut, but what can you do?
Any ideas, let me know. It did help, though, when it first happened on the tube, as I then wrote 'it’s prolapsed' on my phone and got a very odd look from the man standing next to me. Gave me a small chuckle. Small wins.

I think if you just use a normal bag its discreet enough and safe enough, as you don't need too much space. Or just use a bag for life. No one will expect you to be that stupid to put your work laptop in a simple bag. Genius.
