I've seen people take on golf clubs, big Macy's shopping bags packed with stuff, plastic bags full of dirty clothes, Big Boxes of who knows what and toher things and say "OH THIS IS A CARRY ON AND I HAVE A RIGHT TO TAKE AWAY all of your space."

I see this in Coach and business and first class...

My packing rule (Yes, I"m repeating myself here

Work: one Garment bag with the clothes in the overhead; the laptop/briefcase fits in the seat in front of me.
FUN: Either Garment Bag (If suit is needed) in overhead and backpack under the seat in front of me. FOr Hawaii I may take that big gym type bag and have that as checked luggage.

With my poor back caryring more than two bags can be a pain in the #$@#$%!

I also love it when people in coach come up and try to sneak big bagsin first class. I never say a thing but The F-A's chase them away.
