A girl at the airport asked someone to help carry her luggage.刘娜: I saw it too. That traveler was very smart. She felt something was wrong, so she refused to help.优子: But if the person says the luggage is too heavy and asks you to carry it just for a little while, would it seem rude to refuse?刘娜: At the airport, you must refuse. You don’t know what’s inside the suitcase. If there are prohibited items, it could cause serious trouble.优子: I see. When I took a flight in Osaka before, I also heard an announcement saying not to watch bags for strangers.刘娜: Right. Kindness is good, but you can’t be careless. You should also keep an eye on your own luggage at all times.优子: Then next time I’ll say: Sorry, I can’t help you carry your luggage. Is that okay?刘娜: Very good. Simple, polite, and clear. If you meet someone suspicious, you can also tell airport staff right away.优子: Got it. Next time I travel, I’ll take good care of my own suitcase and won’t touch other people’s.
