Damn, I'd be salty too if I'd been fined just for having an expandable suitcase.

That gate operaror was daft - why the hell would anyone bother to go through the entire process up to the point of boarding with the case unexpanded, just to expand it on the flight so it wouldn't fit into the cabin??

Ryanair has always had a culture of gleefully abusing its customers for arbitrary reasons.

I've actually seen people do fucked up stuff like that.

Every time someone stops me about something ridiculous, I react the same way. Like, "Who would do that?" Then I remember ah yeah idiots.

I say as a society, let's remove that 1% of absolute idiots, and then ask if it's still a issue?

Some Ryanair passengers would definitely do that.
