"  1. Roll-Up Packing Someone once told you that you could save space in your suitcase by rolling your clothes instead of folding them, and now the inside of your bag looks like a tray of freshly baked cinnamon buns. Mmmmm. Cinnamon buns. What It Says About You Deep down you know this whole rolling thing isn&amp;#039;t saving you any time or space, but you can&amp;#039;t help it. You love a shortcut \u2014 even an utterly inefficient one that leaves your clothes all wrinkled. To borrow a phrase from Dionne in Clueless, your main thrill in life is a shortcut. It gives you a sense of control in a world full of chaos. In fact, just seeing the words &amp;quot;tips,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;tricks,&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;hacks&amp;quot; in a blog post or on your Twitter feed sends a wave of anticipatory goose bumps cascading over your entire body. 2. Vacuum Packing Your bag is deceptively heavy because it is full of layer after layer of rigid, wrinkly Space Bags. What It Says About You As far as you&amp;#039;re concerned, organizational and space-saving tools like Space Bags are what make modern life worth living. &amp;quot;A place for everything and everything in its place&amp;quot; isn&amp;#039;t just a phrase to you. It&amp;#039;s a mantra branded onto your soul with the red-hot poker of truth (and at a perfect 90-degree angle). You await the arrival of the new Container Store catalog like a small child awaits the coming of Christmas. So many specialized little drawers and boxes. You&amp;#039;re getting dizzy. Holy shit! Elfa is on sale! Blackout.  3. Carry-On-Only Packing It doesn&amp;#039;t matter if you&amp;#039;re packing for a long weekend or a two-week European tour \u2014 if it can&amp;#039;t fit in your carry-on, you&amp;#039;re not taking it. Honestly, you&amp;#039;d rather not go than check a bag. What It Says About You You&amp;#039;ll never forget that time the airline rerouted your bag through Tucson and you had to wait an extra three hours at baggage claim. Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice \u2014 no one ever fools me twice! You&amp;#039;ve been accused on more than one occasion of being uptight, but it&amp;#039;s not that. You&amp;#039;re just a stickler for the rules and a keen observer of human nature. That&amp;#039;s why you would sooner trust a kitten to give you a root canal than those jokers at the airline to get your bag where it needs to go on time. And it&amp;#039;s why when you see someone put their suitcase in the overhead bin the wrong way, you have to stop yourself from shouting, &amp;quot;Wheels first, you inhuman monster!&amp;quot;  4. Everything-Must-Go Packing You often show up at the airport with more luggage than all the other members of your group combined, and you&amp;#039;re not above making the carry-on-only packers in your group check one of your suitcases for you to avoid those pesky excess baggage fees. What It Says About You Some might say you&amp;#039;re a poor editor, but the truth is you&amp;#039;re really just a dreamer and a hopeless romantic. It may just be a weekend trip to your friend&amp;#039;s lake house, but that doesn&amp;#039;t mean you don&amp;#039;t need a sexy dress and heels. Who knows what could happen? Maybe a handsome millionaire&amp;#039;s limo will break down in front of the house. Maybe it will be love at first sight and he&amp;#039;ll whisk you away in his private helicopter just like Christian Grey. Hey, it could happen! And you&amp;#039;ll be damned if you&amp;#039;re unprepared when it does. 5. Night-Before Packing Your suitcase looks like it was packed by Saint Martha (Stewart) herself. What It Says About You You&amp;#039;ve really got your shit together. You rarely over-pack because you know exactly what you&amp;#039;re going to be doing on your trip and what sort of clothing is required. Your friends sometimes complain that you&amp;#039;re stubborn and spend too much time planning, but they also always look to you to tell them where to go and what to do to get the most out of any vacation. Being a leader can be a thankless job, but someone&amp;#039;s gotta do it. 6. How-Could-I-Forget-That Packing It doesn&amp;#039;t matter how much you plan or how organized you think you are, you always leave something essential behind: your phone charger, a comfortable pair of shoes, underwear. What It Says About You If it weren&amp;#039;t for things like direct deposit and automatic bill pay, you probably would have your electricity turned off and be fanning yourself with uncashed paychecks at this very moment. It&amp;#039;s not your fault, though! There&amp;#039;s just too much stuff to keep track of! It&amp;#039;s overwhelming! Of course you&amp;#039;re going to forget something! If only you could just pay someone to pack your bags for you. OMG! Million-dollar idea: a company that sends people to your house to pack your suitcase for you. You&amp;#039;ll call it Rent-A-Packer. You&amp;#039;ll be rich! Of course you&amp;#039;ll have to hire some people first and train them and what if they don&amp;#039;t do a good job? You don&amp;#039;t have a marketing budget. One bad Yelp review and you&amp;#039;re sunk! Ugh! Even your fantasies are exhausting!  7. Last-Minute-Mad-Dash Packing You don&amp;#039;t so much &amp;quot;pack&amp;quot; as you just grab everything in arm&amp;#039;s reach and start shoving it into your bag until you can&amp;#039;t fit anymore. It&amp;#039;s very possible that you will arrive at your final destination with six sweaters and no pants. What It Says About You Who cares what it says about you! You&amp;#039;re about to miss your plane! What were you thinking clicking on this article an hour before your flight? Go, go, go!
