Are you an overpacker, an underpacker, or are you one of the few people on earth who always pack exactly what they need for their time away?

I am almost always an overpacker. I would much rather bring stuff that I don’t need than regret leaving stuff that I do need at home. I will take a dozen pairs of shirts and pants to a 3-day vacation, will pack a whole first-aid bag with me, and even bring a book, though I haven’t read anything that’s not on my Kindle since 2023.

My husband is always annoyed by the fact that I get to a vacation with an already overweight bag, which then leads me to shove anything I buy into his suitcase, because he is (thankfully) an underpacker. Somehow, we work together perfectly, even if he does like to make snarky remarks about the state of our hotel room an hour after we check in.

That being said, if my husband ever tells me that he has actual problems with my packing habits, I will do anything in my power to ease his mind, which is, unfortunately, not something that can be said about the wife in the story below…
