Not just one person from the travel party - from what I have seen, the below also helps

1. All members of the travel party should be standing right next to the carousel, so that all the bags arrive faster.
2. The luggage trolly must be parked touching the carousel, not that it is easier to trip and fall down
3. All members of the travel party need to point to bags at random to check it it's their bag and the travel party leader, flips the baggage tag on the bags to ensure that it's NOT theirs ... I mean, if you can't identify your bag .. I mean ...
4. Give your kids a trolley each so that they will leave you alone to concentrate on the bags, but the kids also bring their trolley to the carousel to collect *their* bags

Don't start me on people who stand right next to the carousel, impeding others from retrieving their bag. And #4 just escalates that feeling up a notch or two. 🤣

ARGH! this .... this happened to me at MAA. Arrived with my parents & rellos from DEL. I could see my bag was coming down the carousel and I kept saying "excuse me" as I tried to move past the carousel-space-hoggers, and made it *almost* to the spot where I can retrieve my bag. There was this one guy in front of me, who just wouldn't move and his bag was nowhere in sight (he was still at the carousel as we exited the airport, after collecting al 8 bags). He gave me a dirty look as I said "excuse me" and asked me to move to a different part of the carousel. I was like, "why! my bag is almost here" ... he just wouldn't budge... my dad sensed that this might get a bit out of hand, so he signalled me to move from there. So, I moved aside and collected the bag 2 feet from where he was standing ... did not understand why he just wouldn't move and let me collect my bag!
 
MasterProzac was a climber before he could walk. You'd come into a room to find him at the top of a bookshelf. :eek: When he needed to reach for the shelf above he would gum (no teeth) the shelf and then reach up to the next one.
He'd disappear early evening, you'd find he crawled to his bedroom and climbed into the cot, put himself to bed /sleep.
