I finally fixed my backpack's constant tipping problem

My backpack would ALWAYS fall over when I put it on the ground, which drove me nuts. After weeks of this, I shifted my heavy stuff like water bottles to the bottom and now it stays put. I'm genuinely confused why I didn't try this sooner, it was so straightforward. This little victory has made my daily train waits way less irritating.

Shifting heavy stuff to the bottom might stop the tipping, but now your backpack's weight is all wrong for carrying. That lower center of gravity strains your back more when you walk around. And good luck quickly grabbing your phone or keys from the top without the whole thing swinging. Sometimes the annoying tip is better than an awkward, uncomfortable load.

Ever notice how one small fix just creates a whole new set of problems?

Saw a whole article on this, it's called the "cobra effect.
