The within the bags, including clothes, shoes and other items were covered in powder makeup that had been crushed and crumbled into dust, photos the traveler shared show.

“I didn’t know what to do, so I just began crying (silly, I do know, but I used to be now in an odd city with literally nothing but my phone and a bunch of dirty clothes),” she shared.

The girl’s Invisalign retainer was also ruined within the crush and he or she said she was anxious the airline wouldn’t cover the extra cost for the dentist visit needed to interchange it.

The engineer admitted they once drove over a chunk of bags themself.

“One night, raining heavily — with that silly asphalt/concrete mix that seems to show right into a black hole yet make every light super glaring into my eyes — just driving as usual with a colleague to considered one of our overnight aircraft in our work truck,” they wrote. “I swear there’s a weird noise coming out of the front end.”

They said their colleague shrugged it off, believing it was just the “piece of s–t work truck.”

The Redditor said they stopped the truck after one other hundred feet.

“Sure enough — standard black generic bag like every other piece of bags is wedged mainly under the front of the truck,” they wrote. “It looked very similar to OP’s pictures above, but bit more of the highest worn away.”
