I have been asked to put my carry-on on the scales on several occasions with Ryanair, both at the check-in desk and at security (bathroom scales at LBC!). I have also seen it happen to others - one one occasion, at STN, I saw a passenger being called back to check-in, after she had started to walk away, when the agent became aware of the backpack she was carrying.
