Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!


How voting works:

Vote the opposite of the norm.


If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.



Guidelines:

Tag your post, if possible (not required)


  • If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
  • If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].


Rules:

1. NO POLITICS


Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.


2. Be civil.


Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...


Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.


5. No trolling.


This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.



Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

If your bag needs wheels, it is, by definition, not a carry-on.

So tired of people bringing massive bags in the plane that they cannot lift into the overhead bin.

Pack lighter

Or

Check your bags

If you downvote...check which sub you are in

Ive seen backpacks grade school sized that are pretty much empty being rolled behind a kid.

There’s multiple problems with kid suitcases - this is where there should be some sort of exception to the size limit. One of the many annoyances of flying with a family is having to pack in all these little backpacks instead of one suitcase. My family suitcase would take less space in the overhead than all those backpacks, would be less annoying than kids dragging backpacks, and I could get it into the overhead faster

An overhead bin slot matching your seat would be ideal

I never understood that. Why are they simply not subdivided and numbered with the seat number and you are given the dimensions of the space. I see no reason why its a shared resource.

I like you but unsure how this contributes to the discussion haha

Not trying to be a dick though

I guess im saying that wheels are put on stupidly small cases and that really the volume limit is the most appropriate since volume is the thing that is at a premium for the carryon as someone can have the exact same back just without wheels.
