Sorry. I have no sympathy. I often sir and watch people putting massive bags into carryon bins. I see bin doors so stressed that they can barely be closed. I end up having to wait minutes while massive carryons are pulled out of the bins. On occasion, I wonder about my safety if the plane has a crisis that causes carryons to fly out of the bins. There is a price for every decision.
