One Of The Bags Must Fit Under The Seat In Front Of You

On The Road by Judy @ 5:53 pm PDT

Are those instruction that are somehow difficult to understand?

Look, fellow fliers, there’s really enough room for everyone to put a bag in the overhead bins - even on completely full flights - if you would just put one of your bags under the seat. To those of you who think this doesn’t apply to you, think again. Those of us who have our bags wrested from us and checked by airline attendants because There. Is. No. More. Room. Are not amused.

I cheered on the guy who started hauling out the tiny little bags and handing them to random people to put under their seats. I only wish he could have made more room.

To the woman belonging to the tiny little bags and unhappy that they got scattered willy-nilly: get over it.
