I've told the story here before, so skip it when it sounds familiar.

There was a woman who spoke very little english (I think just the word NO) carrying a baby carrier (whatever they are called, one of the car seat things you can carry the baby in) totally loaded with junk at the counter. They were explaining to her that she could not carry the car seat thing loaded like that onto the plane. I'm talking plied with stuff.

They were explaining to her that they could put it in a cardboard box, send it as luggage. They even pulled out a box for it. She's crying, yelling, obviously very upset. Somebody else in line stepped up, he understood whatever language it was. He explained to her that it would be fine, they would pack it for her and she could get it at the destination.

She said something to him, his face totally dropped, he turned to the agent and said her baby was under all that junk.

It was quite funny. They boxed all the stuff, she went on board with the baby and the carrier. It was before they started charging people for the extra bags, so that wasn't an issue.
