I'm with you on this one Jenna. I refuse to check a bag. I don't care if it's 10 days In Europe, if it doesn't fit in the carry ons, it's not going.

I'm with you on this one Jenna. I refuse to check a bag. I don't care if it's 10 days In Europe, if it doesn't fit in the carry ons, it's not going.
One flight attendant in Athens singled me out and said she needed to weigh my carry on. She said it was five pounds too heavy and needed to be checked in. I said absolutely not. This is my carry on and it's coming with me. She argued with me so I opened my bag and started to move stuff to another bag. She then conceded. I told her this is ridiculous since no one else is lifting this bag but me (I mean my husband) and I'm a buck forty and all of these other people weigh more than me. My kids were mortified. But I told them sometimes you have to fight the power when the rule makes no sense. I was happy to Karen out at that moment.
That is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard! Especially if you are allowed to shuffle it from one bag to the other… I mean I get the overweight charges for checked bags out of consideration for the bag handlers, but your own bag? They can suck it. I would’ve gone Karen right along with you!
None of it makes since unless they start charging passengers by the pound, too. It's "supposedly" all about the total weight on the aircraft, right? How do they charge a 125 lb person the same ticket price as a 175 or 200 lb person? (Don't get me started on the morbidly obese getting a free seat upon request...)
Come to think of it, if you can just pay an extra charge for an "overweight" bag, that plane is possibly going to (eventually) weigh too much, so... so much for safety! Kinda like paying a carbon tax. It does nothing to reduce carbon but someone is pocketing that money.
Oh you cannot even MENTION weight/body size/the f-word. That's BODY SHAMING! It's NOT INCLUSIVE! But that'll be an extra $140 for your corpulent Samsonite.

Yeah. A weight limit on an unchecked bag? Nice try.
And also, lol to telling him to zip it. Ha ha.
