After returning from an international trip, a passenger shared a stressful experience they had while retrieving their luggage from the carousel at Melbourne International Airport.
A passenger posted on Reddit about an unpleasant situation they encountered at Melbourne International Airport while collecting their bags from the luggage carousel.
“Despite the clear signs instructing passengers to stay behind the yellow line when retrieving their luggage, many simply ignored them and stood right in front of it,” the passenger commented.
They mentioned that they are a small person and have difficulty seeing the bags with taller people in front of them.
“After taking this picture, two more people stopped right in front of me. At that moment, I spoke loudly and firmly: ‘Stay behind the yellow line, it’s there for a reason.’ Fortunately, they moved,” said the Melbourne resident.
They questioned what was wrong with people not respecting the yellow line in front of the carousel. “Totally rude. It really bothers me,” they criticized.
Some users shared the feeling of frustration.
“I don’t understand why people crowd around the carousel like this. Everyone could just wait about three meters away,” one of them noted.
Another commented on the cultural difference between countries that respect the yellow line.
One person said it wasn’t such a stressful experience. “Besides, the carousel area is big. You can just go to a spot with fewer people and move on,” they suggested.
