To clear things up.
1. I mention my status and segments to point out the ridiculousness of the GA.

3. To all the rule “obeyers” all I can say is wow.
Your status and segments travelled are irrelevant as to whether the bag is compliant with the permitted size. There is no extra allowance based on status. Was the agent correct in that the bag was non complant? If so, then the agent was not being ridiculous, but doing his or her job
Whether a bag can fit in the locker is irrelevant. A bag can be significantly over the permitted size and still be within the dimensions of the locker - what matters though is whether it conforms to the regulations
How dare people thing that published rules should be followed by all parties. If an agent fails to follow a rule to the detriment of a passenger, there is outrage on the fora. Are you suggesting that agents must follow rules, but passengers just do what they want?
