One time I was subjected to what I consider to be silly and extremely-low European baggage weight limits (on RyanAir, I've been lucky that no *A carrier has yet bothered to weigh my stuff). I knew I was going to get my bags weighed because they were weighing everyone's bags, so I put as much as I could on my body so my bag would clear: coat, sweater, water bottles in my coat pockets (this was before the liquid insanity), etc.
