Dear Shopaholic,

It's the time for shopping. Under a week to Christmas and people are eager to do their Christmas shopping. I know that malls are generally a little crowded and there seems to be a need to get all shopping done in one go.

But honestly, if you're going to be on the bus, could you not have probably around a dozen large shopping bags with you? Especially when it's during the peak times for students to be on bus and especially not when you have your bags taking up the two seats next to you. Not only is it inconsiderate to be taking up the seats with your shopping, it's also not very environmentally friendly to have so many plastic bags. Ever heard of cloth bags? They'll hold up to more wear and tear than plastic ever will and it's more reuseable.

If you're going to do massive amounts of shopping, try being a little bit considerate to your fellow transit patrons. After all, you don't see anyone else on the bus taking up three whole seats - two of the seats with their shopping!

Cheers and happy holidays.
