I wish I'd taken a picture, so I apologize. Anyway...
Riding my bike (the kind with pedals, that takes effort to move) the other day, and I got stuck at a red light behind a line of traffic. As I was waiting, I heard a noise coming from my right. I looked over, and saw a thing that must have been no taller than 5'1", and no lighter than 350lbs. It appeared to be female.
It was waddling, which surprised me, as these things are usually sitting on a mobility device of some sort, and the noise I heard was what it was dragging behind itself on the sidewalk. PFFFTTT PFFFTTT PFFFTTT It'd been to the library right beside us, and had checked out some books, put them in a backpack, then set the backpack in a laundry basket. The basket had a long piece of yarn tied to it, and it was grasping the other end.
Too lazy to carry the government-subsidized books in the backpack on its back (or, perhaps, the straps were too small to fit over its massive shoulders and back), it was content with just dragging it all down the sidewalk. It was like a dog that refused to go home with it, just sliding over the concrete with every tug.
Before I could think to grab my phone, the light turned green, and I had to get rolling, but I don't think I'll ever forget the image.

Likely the best idea it ever had.
