No, I DO NOT want to check my bag!

Flying 3 r/t shorthaul flights this week, I am really sick of the constant harassment to check my hand bag. My bag fits perfectly in the sizer. I know this. It should be obvious by looking. But every time (especially T5 and DUB) when queuing up for the flight I had various gate agents being very pushy asking if I'd like to check that. When I politely tell them no, I have connections/meetings, they either keep nudging or then go into punishment mode saying "oh, then if you think you're taking that on I want you to put in the sizer."

I've won every interaction this week but it's stressful and unnecessary. I'm sorry the flight is full. Other carriers seem to manage this without constantly hassling me. This is honestly worse than EasyJet treatment.
