Lol now he had to buy extra baggage charge because that sign won't come off.
He has to take it with him..
He ended up having to buy the whole terminal
The whole damn runway.
Beautiful Katamari Airport Edition
Fuck he bought the damn airline.
That’s the joke ...
r/YourJokeButWorse
That's what the lady says at 0:15
He tries to bluff it out and wheels the bag down the aisle of the plane, the top of the sign slowly scraping at the roof of the plane.
Sounds like something outta Family Guy.
"1 minute to board"

I don't have to imagine.
because i’m watching it
On Reddit
nice my brain is also capable of the imagination
You are free to board if you can pull the "Suitcase in the stone"
Cometh anon ev'ryone! testeth thy strength! the first p'rson to pulleth the suitcase from the baggage size checketh'r stone wins the entire plane!
I would take the whole thing with me
"That's too big sir, it has to fit in one of those things"
Ok let me try.
Oh now the thing with my luggage is stuck in the other thing... can I take the whole thing?
Only if you can fit it in one of those things.
That statement gave me anxiety and I’m just laying in bed.
Absolute bellend. To be fair, most people don't even bother checking the size and I'm pretty sure the cabin crew don't give half a shit either.
This guy looks like he changes lanes 6 times between 2 traffic lights trying to get 1 car ahead and eventually is at the back of the line anyway.
God I hate those people. Guy overtook me twice, but gambled the wrong lane at traffic light and kept ending up behind me while I was simply flowing with traffic. Then at some roundabout exit where I had to let a pedestrian on the pedestrian crossing, the guy started honking like crazy, and then overtook me almost causing an accident with traffic coming from the other direction, to be next to me at the next traffic light again. His aggressive driving style was exactly as fast as my laid back one...
when i was younger, i used to drive like the person you’re describing. i honestly thought i was saving time by driving aggressively. one day, during my commute to work, i drove past a coworker on the highway and proceeded to do aggressive things as i always did. i was waiting at the last traffic light before turning into my office building complex and wondering how far ahead of my coworker i was.
“surely i’m ahead of them by 10 to 15 mins.”
about 30 seconds later she pulled up behind me. it was at that moment i realized driving aggressively did nothing to save time.
and as i got older i realized i was putting others in danger and putting unnecessary strain on my car. anyway, that was one of those turning points in my life for me. i hope other aggressive drivers can read this and learn a lesson from my mistakes.
And you were likely using 20-30% more fuel for the same journey.
Even just driving in the inside lane on a motorway. I've done the same journey whizzing past people, and also just cruising behind a van in the slow lane. And the time save per hour is so small. It just feels faster because you're passing people.
Plot twist, as soon as you passed her she became enraged and also started driving aggressively.
No seriously, good for you for learning your lesson. I can't tell you how many times someone has been speeding and passing everyone like an asshole just to come up to the first traffic light and now they are only one car length ahead of everyone they worked so hard to pass. The danger never seemed worth it.
Nice of you to come clean, admit it to yourself and apply the change. Thank you
Always wanted to do a reality TV show with these type of people. Basically filming there stupid behavior almost causing accidents and being assholes. Then when you pull up at the same light jump out with the film crew and ask them if it was worth it?
I live in a fair size city but you can take the freeway from one side to the other in about 10 minutes. Just don't understand why people weave in an out of traffic speeding to save 30 seconds of time with the possibility of changing someone's life forever.
self entitlement. bad parenting causes this along with life experiences that never gave them the kick in the ass they deserved.
send the nukes already
I saw a guy like that, 2nd in line when traffic light turned green, starts honking. Dude in front of him didn’t budge. Green light, not moving.
Honking gets severe. No move.
Green light starts flashing. No move. Short fuse dude going nuts.
Suddenly, 1st car crosses the junction at half a green blink + orange. Light goes red.
Honky guy had to wait for the next one. And everyone’s looking at him, bc of all the noise he made…
I see so many people like this. I laugh when they end up at the back of the line.
Not on EasyJet, who they seem to be flying with.
I witnessed check-in charge someone for hold luggage because although their carry-on case was the correct size (using the same apparatus), the wheels meant it was unable to fit in there.
So, yes, they absolutely do use those as a way of charging you more.
Easyjet also got caught out a few years back using smaller "cages" for the baggage size at the boarding gate than they had at check-in. So you think you're fine because your bag fit in the cage at check-in, but when boarding it doesn't, and suddenly they're telling you that you have to pay extra and put it in the hold.
Can confirm - travel a lot for work and always have the same carry-on. Never an issue with the more fancy/national airlines.
Suddenly with Easyjet, Transavia (or other cheap airlines) it is an issue.
Even had them taking me in on the first flight and asking me to pay on the return flight with the same airlines.
At this point, I've just accepted it's a gamble.
Bring a tape measure with you and a picture of their guidelines for size and prove it in front of them lol
I hope they got a nice fine for that.
Probably a slap on the wrist compared to the amount of money they made from forcing people to pay extra checked bag fees.
Had this flying Ryan Air. Charged me £46 because "the luggage would not fit under the seat in front of me". Said someone would take it as I board and put it in hold luggage.
No one did.
So I tucked it under the chair in front of me where it sat easily.
I fumed the entire flight.
Ryan air are notorious for snapping at any opportunity for a bit of money.
Yeah I saw that when we flew out to Greece. They implemented a 1 bag policy whilst we were on holiday and I saw a bunch of people getting hit with the charge on our way home. How were they/we supposed to know they were going to change the rules‽ EasyJet are dreadful!
Comment deleted by user
The chance of rules was pretty well made, they sent email, warning on checkout of ticket, at online checking...
Also multiple company did the same change at the same moment so it was in the news.
I am puzzled how many people where surprised by it.
I’ve flown countless times with big groups of friends on budget airlines and only once has someone been charged to put it in the hold. As long as the bag isn’t ridiculous just take the risk, be friendly, smile at the crew and expect a minute chance you will have to pay.

Smuggling pets like that gets taken really seriously by some countries. Like they can destroy it if they find it. That feels like them trying to avoid that issue. The UK at least had some very harsh ads on it at one point years ago.

right? unless those wheels are detachable (in which case, fking detach them..), they are part of the luggage size. how do people not get this?
Ill fuckin pull the wheels off my luggage
Everyone knows you put a heap of clothes in a pillow case and make it look like a pillow!
It really depends on the crew you get, some are assholes (or new employees) who think they need to check and power trip on you
I dunno, as a passenger with a regular sized bag I think the assholes are the people bringing oversized bags and taking all the overhead room as their check-in.
To be fair most people checking. But this thing getting smaller every year but suitcases not.
To be fair, his bag DID fit inside the sign
On Ryanair they check absolutely everything
Never been checked in my life, with probably....50 Ryanair flights behind me. Maybe depends on the country? Or the airport(s)? Or that I never travel with hard-shelled hand luggage?
The only time I ever had to check the size of my luggage was a domestic Russian flight with Pobeda airlines. (Not counting weight checks at check-in counters).
Ryanair will check to make sure that you're not carrying too much air in your lungs. That's extra fee.
Looks like he stuffed it in because they were giving him a hard time.
Guess you don't fly Ryanair very often.
The first time I was flying alone, a worker in the Airport insisted that my bag was too big and had me walk all the way to one of these signs to check. My bag was ok, which made it extra weird.
This was 10 years ago and has never happened since.
Flying would be less stressful if the airlines just enforced their own rules.
Always have a soft bag for carryon
Once united or aa put my duffle in that case despite their website saying fabric bags only need to meet the total dimension length, not individual sides.
They're just trying to make sure it fits in the overhead bin. ;)
so you could bring a cylinder that's like, 0.5" across and 20' wide XD
They would not let you in because it would look like a bomb
Who tf is going to have a bomb with the diameter of a pencil? It'd look more like a large pencil lead
Flying in the 90s was much easier. Smoking in the cabin , shaving, ashtrays
My mom loves the hard luggage. I flat out refuse considering it for even checked luggage because of the extra expenses they would put on my card if they can’t fit it.
Yes! I wish they would just stop allowing hard luggage as carry-ons. They’re almost always too big and bulky. I love that I can jam a duffel bag pretty much anywhere.
Standardized cubes are better to plan than irregular random shapes.
i’ve taken a hiking backpack with an internal frame, it worked great. squishable on 5 sides, fit the carryon restrictions for even the strictest airlines, and easily carried!

If it fits, you must acquit.
If it's too wide, you must paraglide.
Shit, I can't argue against this. It rhymes.
If I sits, it fits.

I want to see the video of him getting out of the overhead locker at the end of the flight.
That big will fit just fine. Those cages are much smaller than what would fit into an overhead compartment.
They're designed to ensure your bag will fit under the seat in front, rather than the overhead locker.
Comment deleted by user
those things are just decoration… they maybe used them for half an hour until they realized you can’t have everyone put their bag in there and then argue when there’s 300 people on a flight…
Depends on the airline. I was on a budget airline once where they literally put every roller bag in the sizer. Took forever to board.
Sometimes the have this cardboard box they put over your luggage so they can do a speedier check.
In the past decade of flying Ryanair they've checked it once, when the plane was delayed by over an hour and some assholes had nothing better to do.
I present to you wizzair. Everything I've flown them they have checked every bag.
In their defense I'm not sure how they are paying for fuel given how much the tickets cost, so them collecting extra bag fees might be the only way.
There's one of these right as you board the plane here. It just reads
You can take as much emotional baggage as you like but if your bag doesn't fit in here you can't take it with you.
No one has ever checked mine.
I once skipped this on a regional flight only to discover my bag didn't fit in the overhead on the tiny plane they put us on. Embarrassing, had to do the walk (well, jog) of shame back up the jetway and check it at the gate!

Saw the face and my inner customer service worker reacted with "yes, he looks the type"
7 years working an Apple Store Genius Bar during and after college. I can see a problem customer before they even open their mouth with remarkable accuracy.
I used to get a lot of pleasure from waiting for them to demand to speak to the manager then turning my nametag round to reveal the manager title.
Did you ever tell them 'sure I'll get the manager for you' and then go down some non existent steps behind the register and come up again?
I remember my days flying almost weekly with my job.
You could spot guys like that a mile off, along with those that will instantly jump up and queue to board regardless of which boarding group they're in (strangely anyone with overtly religious clothing/accessories falls into this category) and those that will paw cluelessly at automated passport controls.
My god I hated Stansted Airport towards the end of my time in that job
Precisely.
Now whoever removes this bag becomes King/Queen of the Airport. To destroy the tyranny of extra baggage cost and late, canceled flights.
To be fair, airlines are fucking atricious when it comes to baggage sizes, so they deserve to get cheated.
The issue comes down to when everyone and their mother bring on bags that are just below the max size to fit and then next thing you know, the whole overhead bin space is full. I'm a Flight Attendant for a ULCC in the states. We usually only check bags when they obviously don't fit, or someone's just being a complete asshole and clearly didn't pay for a carry on.
Passengers get mad at us because they can't fit their stuff tight above their seats, when In reality most of them didn't even pay for carry ons.
So in trying to cheat the airline, what PAX are sometimes doing is causing the crew more trouble for things they have absolutely no control over.
edit: when I said complete asshole I meant in general, not because they didn't pay for the carry on, my bad.
I can see the problem. But I think the trouble is that luggage is so expensive that people are incentivised to trick the system.
If everyone had a checked bag included in the flight, then people would bring less carry-on.
No, we get mad because airlines have the fucking audacity to book their planes full and then before boarding go on the speakers and go, "Turns out this flight is full, there's not enough overhead space because we didn't plan for it, so now some of you have to check your bags. We're going to do this for free, because we're so nice, but really it's a bigger inconvenience for you because now you have to wait in baggage claim. Fuck you, and you're welcome!"
JUST full? Every flight I’ve taken in the last two years have been overbooked, and then they’re begging people to take some other flight. Fucking ridiculous to pay $300 for shit like that.
To be fair its because some passengers take 5 instead of the 1+personal item and they take space away from other pasengers

To be fair
To be faaaaaaaiiirrrr
As a flight attendant I disagree. If I compare the amount of handluggage being brought on board now and 14 years ago I am wondering if I work in passenger transport or for a cargo airline. It used to be a small backpack but the trolleys are not checked at my airline which means we take a long time to sort everything out. One of the few airports where this is checked properly is Dublin which saves us about 10 to 15 minutes boarding time on a 737. Imagine saving so much time every flight?? You would arrive on time and even have time to spare. Your luggage would be brought to the belt and you don't have to walk with it for kilometers. The security check would go much faster and walking through customs would be much more efficient.
Maybe because 14 years ago they didn't charge for the first bag checked in luggage?
If I could trust the airlines with my checked luggage, it would be different story.
You are ignoring the fact that lugagge prices have basically become a scam. These days I have to check my backpack as carry-on. That didn't happen 10 years ago. The first piece of luggage can be 50% of the flight price.
EasyJet changed their allowed sizes during COVID, so lot's of people now going on holiday for the first time are getting stung using their old baggage.

I agree, airports are such unique places filled with unique people. They can be an absolute nightmare if you're in a rush, but if you're comfortably ahead of your flight I think airports are a joy to explore. And as an introvert I love that you can always find a completely secluded place to chill for a bit and restore your energy before going back to exploring and/or your gate.
That being said though, in my experience the food is absurdly bad. You're better off buying some sandwiches in the convenience stores than eating in the restaurants. Somehow ironically the actual airplane food tends to be better.
First of all, what a dumbass. Second of all, I could see me totally doing that same dumb thing.
"Sir, you missed your flight"
If it took 70kg to get it in, it'll take at least 70kg to take it out 😂
Hopefully they allowed him to check that structure in storage as some sort of extra large skis, because that is now his new suitcase.
Pretty good way of looking at it. Wiggling one side would require less but not sure that is possible in that tight fit.
His suitcase WAS true perfect size, I’ve noticed that airlines add metal inserts into the measurer thingy, so now most of the suitcases designed to be carry-on are too big. It’s an absolute scam
r/gifsthatendtoosoon
its not cheating, it went in.
That's not what she said.
Is there a baggage manufactured that makes baggage just slightly too large or did the airline sneakily reduce the box slightly to reduce the weight they need to carry without extra baggage money? This seems way too convenient that the baggage will barely not fit
He didn't cheat. It fit
To be fair to him they change the acceptable allowances so much for airlines and even differ between brands so I wouldn't be surprised if that would have fit 6 months ago
Are we watching the same post?? Wtf do you mean "cheated" everyone in the comments acting like they're doing something wrong when they're just checking their bag size fits??
If you have to get a full grown man to sit on it in order to fit, it doesn't fit
Reddit hivemind: haha look at this guy, he should do the right thing.
Until they go to the airport themselves: omg these baggage checks suck, it's gotten so much smaller
Comment deleted by user
I think it fits absolutely perfectly. Too well even.
Fun pro tip I've learned with flying Air Canada recently.... if you don't have a full sized suitcase, but your carry on is too big for those size checkers (but would fit in overhead bins anyways), you can often check your bag for free as they will often ask if anyone would like to check their bags at the gate before boarding.
All 4 flights I took 2 weeks ago had the same request. Saved myself the hassle of finding a spot on the plane (I put it the overhead bins for one flight because i didnt want it checked), and about $100 for regularly checked baggage otherwise.
Reddit continually brings me to this video, why?
That implies that the airline is playing a fair game. They arnt
i have seen this 7,789,5578,4 628283737,9918282728 times on reddit subs
Why didn’t he put it in handle side up?
Edit: Does that size of luggage normally have handles on the side like a normal sized suitcase? I honestly don’t remember.
I hate these videos. It’s of budget airlines adding unexpected bag fees to people who are probably living paycheck to paycheck and can’t afford it.
I wonder how many times reddit thinks i want to see this
Someone is finna be late for they flight

Comment deleted by user
I have NEVER seen this video before. Fuck off with this…
I'm sick of seeing this video.
Those things have gotten smaller and smaller every time I travel. I had an old suitcase from pre 9/11 that was an acceptable carry on and now it feels like it is twice the accepted size.
Fly delta if you can. They don't give a shit. Their overheads can fit like 27 inch+ carryon.
Hopefully this moron missed his flight
I wouldn't help him if I worked there. You did that, have fun trying to get your bag back, asshole
Sir, you're going to have to check that
I don’t think I would blame him but his attitude and approach annoy me enough that I can’t be on his side for this one
To be fair those bitches be tiny as hell
Yep, I'm rooting for the dude with the suitcase. They keep making those things smaller and smaller to squeeze customers.
I'm calling bullshit on the greedy airlines.
I'm so tired of seeing this video everywhere!!! It was funny the first two times and that's pushing it.

Now he has to carry the whole thing
I rember when i stuffed my backpack in one of this things and jumped on it until it fitted so they don't charge me extra. It also got stuck Ed and I looked like an idiot trying to get it out. But I was an Idiot who didn't have to pay extra
Now he has to check his luggage in complete with luggage scale stand.
Low price airlines are scummy with baggage sizes and whatnot. Imo, if your bag fits in the overhead compartment, you should be allowed to bring it as a carry-on.
Tbf those things are fucking rediculous. You have practically no space, and if your object isnt the correct shape (despite proper weight) then you pay a fine.
I saw a video of them charging a guy $80 to bring a skateboard onto the plane after it obviously wouldn't fit into the box. The skateboard surely weighs 0.1x of a suitcase and can be carried in hand. He ended up just snapping it in half and putting it in the box instead. It'd be cheaper to just buy a new deck abroad, whilst also giving money to a person who deserves it rather than a greedy corporation.
Why the fuck is everybody hating on him? Fuck the airlines for being ridiculous though
This video could be the advertisement for downloading reddit
"Did yah like that clip? Then this is the app for you! It's the only one we have!"
Well, it did fit, it just needed a little compressive ass-istence.
Hahaha does that count? Only if you can get it back out again I guess
Well tbf, he technically didn’t try to cheat the size, it clearly fit in
Those baggage things are a total scam though. My bag is well under the size limit but it never fits. It’s smaller than most baggage I see in overhead compartments.
This video is someone looking at butts and accidentally seeing a guy shove a bag in the size checker
Travel brings out the best and worst in people
Not their problem. You forced it in. You get it out.
My favorite is when dickheads like this do get it on the plane, then shove it in an overhead and break it. Then that overhead is broken and sometimes the one next to it has to be marked inoperable too. Then maintenance comes and the flight is delayed. Happens all the time.
I mean it does fit!
Now his luggage is definitely not fitting with that sign attached 😅
Exactly how my wife thinks anal would go…
Well, at least they know it’ll fit in the plane
For the love of god seeing this several times I swipe up is starting to get on my nerves.
Just stop posting this.
Yes what he did was dumb, we don't have to re-upload this 37 times a week to know that.

This has been posted like 5 times a day for the last 3 months
Fun fact : the lady holding the camera seems to be just a random stranger filming the scene and you can hear her making fun of the guy all video long xD And at the end she says "It's gonna end up all over TikTok", speaking of the video 😂
I'm so sick and tired of seeing this video
As someone who recently purchased new luggage. Our prior carry on bags no longer fit the carry on requirements that we took on Delta, British airlines, Lufthansa, Ryan air, American airlines, and spirit previously. The sizes and wheels that stick out to make the bags not fit are getting ridiculous
Now you gotta bring that whole thing on board lol!!! Idiot. Bring a soft backpack even a big one. I was prompted to do the same and it squished right in no worries lol
I have never flought, whats the problem with this?
Camera man taking booty shots...lol
wcgw trying to make people pay for 1mm would be a better title
It’s not cheating. Those bags are sold as carry on size.
Some say his bag is still there, to this day.
So this kind of stupidity worries me for mankind, he forced a suitcase into a area he know didn't fit then as it got stuck and he couldn't pull it out. This asshole literally turns around immediately and ask someone to help him, what the fuck, and this guys are fucking adult?
That thing doesn't do anything, it's just for reference. No clue why he did this
why don’t these thing have a latch that can open up one side and let out the luggage, the dudes bag literally was the required size
just not the required size PLUS wiggle room to grab it out
How is this cheating? It did fit the mould
Ugh. Pls stop posting this, I see it twice a day….
