[RANT]Bloody morons with over-size, over-weight carry-ons

One of my pet hates when flying (SLF).
WTF
, On what grounds did you think that you were exempt from the airline's (not your own airline) carry-on rules? There are a couple of obvious reasons for the limit:
There's only so much space in the overheads, and I hate nothing more than "slip-shod" airport staff who allow some moron to fill a complete locker with his enormous "wheelie" (if it needs wheels, it's probably too heavy as well!) so that myself and the other guy in the row have nowhere to store our laptop bags.
With the current security situation, and the apparent shortage of x-ray operators (either that, or half the x-ray machines at LHR are out of order - but it never happens at a lot of other airports) long queues of pax trying to get from check-in to departure lounge should be expected to have only one bag, while you, as an example of the airline, can have more, and hold up the pax behind you while your (more than one) bags are screened?
I know it's nice not to have to wait for the checked baggage to arrive at destination, but if you, like me, have to carry more than one "weight and size limited" bag, then I'm afraid that you have to "set an example to the rest of us"
Sorry mate, but not a lot of sympathy.
