Baggage.

Introducing some conditions as yet unnamed by science, which are endemic to the average airport baggage reclaim area:


Invidia Saccus: Feelings of envy and wrath towards those who are smugly plucking their bags from the conveyor belt.

Excrucius Cervix: Damage to neck from peering fruitlessly towards plastic flaps where suitcases are meant to pop out.

Paraphernalia Impatiens: Mounting irritation at non-appearance of bags.

Odium Portatus: Deep hatred of that ugly blue suitcase with the offensively cheerful rainbow-coloured strap around it, now making its 25th circuit of the carousel while there is no sign whatsoever of your bags.

Saccus Incredulitas: Disbelief that bags have STILL not appeared.

Impedimentia Culpa: The dawning of a dark suspicion that someone has surreptitiously loaded your baggage onto their trolley and made off with it.

Apparatus Pax: Grudging relief at eventual appearance of bags.
