Last flight I was on my cell rang just as we were boarding. (It was my vet with my pet's test results.) Rather than being "that guy" I excused myself out of the line to take the call and went to the back of the line. By the time I got on the plane there was no room anywhere near me for my jacket; but several "suitcases" in the overhead bins.
Trust me- I "get" the advantages of not checking a bag; and on a weekend trip home I will do that. But I make sure it all fits into a small gym bag.

You mean there are people in this world like yourself that aren't yelling on their cellphone, dragging their suitcase, while trying to balance and eat 6,500 calories worth of airport food and didn't get their bordering pass out before they got to the front of the line?
The answer to this entire problem is pretty fataing simple: use the carry-on measuring things that exist at every gate in every airport. If it doesn't fit, the person has to go out and check their bag.
