Really? I’m surprised. The original is quoted relatively often on reddit (I suspect by people unaware of the origin — as I was until I read your comment). Consider it proof that HN…

Mobbing is probably older than resignation as a concept.

That's funny. I'm curious now, do you live in a microstate, or an island? Or was it a case of an overly eager delivery platform?

Literally every check-in form I've been through had some required checkboxes to declare that you've packed your luggage yourself, have complete awareness of what's in there, and cl…
