Yeah. I usually check bags, too.
But karma apparently was Not Working one day. The one time I decide to bring a bag on board that won't fit under the seat in front of me, I was sitting in the front of the plane in the zone that boards last (on a Continental flight into Newark, IIRC), and the Traveling Hanks had already taken up all of the overheard space. I had to gate check the bag, and -- unlike the other times I've seen people gate check, I actually had to go to baggage claim to get the bag (instead of getting it at the arrival gate like they ususally do).
Fucking lawyer sitting in the back of the place had left his two bags above my seat so that he didn't have to carry his laptop and his garment bag those 20 rows.
Bastard. I'm pissed again just thinking about it.
