We sometimes weighed pax at Tingwall (Shetland) when there were full loads. Any baggage or freight that tipped the scales afterwards went to its destination on the next flight. Foula, Fair Isle and Outer Skerries dwellers often turned up with 'miscellaneous' items well over their personal limit but it wasn't a problem if there were empty seats.
Occasional incoming flights carried a cardboard box relocating a hedgehog that was banished from Skerries for eating ground-dwelling birds' unhatched eggs (no trees in the windswept islands for nests.)
