We have to share our sidewalks with slow people, old ladies pushing carts, dogs and runners.
In recent years we’ve also seen more and more large, cumbersome suitcases being added to the mix, leading to more toe injuries and a slower pace on the pavement.
From Tony Electronic, the same man who brought us the anti-thumb-sticking-into-your-noodles bowl insert, we present the “sky suitcase”!
Allow us to translate his Chinglish (if you can even call it that): “Nowadays in Hong Kong, there are suitcases everywhere you look. They’re rolled everywhere and they always end up breaking our feet.”
The artist proposes a suitcase that has extendable wheels, allowing it to be raised so far above its owner’s head that they can walk underneath it while they roll the luggage – thus saving precious sidewalk space and making it more difficult to steamroll the feet of passersby feet.
Cheekily, the artist uses simplified Chinese for the description of the suitcase, but traditional characters for the rest of the poster, implying that the contraption is intended for mainlanders.
He also put the Apple logo on the suitcase, either hinting that mainlanders will buy anything made by the iCompany, or that it’s full of iPhones (or both).
The speech bubble at the bottom says: “Tai tai, your suitcase rolled over my feet! Use a sky suitcase, la!”
Tony Electronic will however not be held responsible for any head injuries resulting from the use of the sky suitcase.
