Yes, I'd like to pay nearly $200 for shipping of a $30 thing. Or free shipping that will arrive on the same day.

That is my number one gripe, how the hell do those overhead compartments run out of space when everyone is limited to one carry on bag, aren’t the planes designed to hold the carrry on of every passenger, it’s usually some dickheads putting their personal item bags up there or the cabin crew not bothering to tell people to shift their bags sideways or actually checking if they are completely full or not

Yep, or I have seen staff heckling an old guy because the tip of his case wheels stuck outside of the sizing device, while some moron with a hockey bag sized duffel walks on and nobody days anything.

One flight was packed and so the host was asking everyone to turn their bag sideways in the overhead as we boarded, and while saying this over and over people still were laying them flat. I said "This must get old, it is like dealing with children." He said, "no it is worse, children listen, these adults don't."

I've been on flights where people have placed their bags in flat and sidewise then just closed the bin. Attendants then get upset when you open bins to check for space (even in cases where you saw there was space before someone closed it) because of course they are the only ones that close bins and they always check for space.

I've also been on flights where people have stood up to use the bathroom or adjust their bags while taxiing and then everyone has to wait on them wine the attendants just repeat on loop that they need to sit the fuck down.

The rules of planes just seem not to matter at all to some people and the rest of us have to suffer for it.

I don’t understand the people who close the bins after putting their bag up. It’s frustrating as heck for the rest of us, but I don’t see how they think it benefits them in any way. Is it just annoying other passengers for the LoLs, or do they think there’s some logic?

One carry on, one personal item. A personal item can be a backpack. I don't remember the last time I checked a bag.

There is also the issue that airlines have been stuffing seats tighter and tighter. So more people without an increase in overhead compartment space.
