If your bag needs wheels, it is, by definition, not a carry-on.

So tired of people bringing massive bags in the plane that they cannot lift into the overhead bin.

Pack lighter

Or

Check your bags

If you downvote…check which sub you are in

    Tell the airlines to reduce the weight limit, problem solved.

    That doesn’t annoy me, nor does the various ways to load the plane. What I’d like to see is them lock the overhead until the plane is in the gate, and then unlock them one by one, front to back. Sit down until you can get your stuff. People act just like cattle, knowing full well they aren’t going anywhere fast all standing up at one time.

      I stand up knowing full well that I’m not going anywhere because I’d rather stand in one spot waiting for my turn to get off the plane instead of being crammed in the seat any longer. It’s nice to stretch the legs and back after being stuck in the seat for so long.

        Yeah, after being cramped up it’s nice to stretch out a bit and SHOW_ME_YOUR_ASSHOLE phrases this nicely.

        Uhm… Just for next time: stand up during the flight! Quick stretch or stroll to the bathroom if you feel weird just standing. Don’t punish your body for the planes hostile design!

        Those seats are so small and cramped and painful, I really need to straighten my back and my neck. I need to get the circulation in my legs started again. Most of all, the worse my knees get the more I need to just stand up

      Potential problem with unlocking the bin by row, often the bag ends up in a different row from where you are seated. Solution is each seat gets one and only one assigned spot in overhead bin directly above the corresponding seat. This would also eliminate the problem of passengers putting multiple bags in the overhead bin. (Which is why bag often ends up in a different row)

          Please don’t say that unless you also mandate leg room and no reclining . There’s already way too little place to put your feet or legs, and anyone reclining is going to be painful on the knees
