Parkinson's law says "the work expands to fit the time allotted" and there is a related law which says that the junk expands to fit the space allotted. My theory is that if you carry a large bag, you tend to carry enough to fill it.
If I go shopping, I can bungie the grocery bags to my rack. Other than that, I don't carry a big bag.
