I'm not sure who is to blame for this really, but I suspect it's the usual suspects, Selfish People. These are the ones who wheel full-sized luggage onto the plane and then try to use your appropriately-sized carry-on as a wedge of some sort. They are The Ones who have brought us to this pass. These folks are not punished - in fact, their bad behavior has been rewarded. And we who pack and check a normal bag like regular people are punished with fees and dark looks. It cost me $20 each way on my most recent trip, just to be less annoying than those other guys. And I guess they have me there, I'm going to pay it. I refuse to be that person who can't lift her bag to the overhead compartment without a stranger's help. I like to just pack up my shampoo and other viscous toiletries in their original containers, and not have to transfer a rationed amount to teensy TSA-approved bottles like some sort of mental patient.
So, okay, yes. I do overpack. I bring way more than I need on any given trip. So what are you going to do? Penalize me? Oh, yeah, you're doing that already.
