An irate traveller was filmed destroying his wheelie-bag so it would fit in an easyJet bag checker.
In the clip the unhappy holidaymaker is seen attempting to put his red roller-suitcase into the airline's measuring frame at Edinburgh Airport.
The budget carrier lets all its passengers have a piece of hand luggage with their ticket for no extra charge, so long as it is 45cm x 36cm x 20cm or smaller.
Wheels are included in these measurements, as the traveller would discover.
TikTok user @fxny_stn filmed the man trying and failing to fit his bag into the checker, the case getting caught by its wheels on one end.
He is seen speaking to the check-in staff before lifting the bag out of the metal wrack, placing it on the floor and stomping on the wheels.
Once the miniature rollers are loose, he rips them off the bag with his hands and shoves the bag back in the wrack.
Sadly it still does not fit, prompting the cap sporting traveller to take the bag out again and rip its handle off, smashing it against the floor for good measure.
At the end of the destruction, he appears to have been successful as he scoops up the broken case and sows his boarding pass to check-in staff members.
Beneath the video - which has attracted close to four million views - some people expressed surprise that he'd had to go to such lengths to get his bag through.
"Proper jobs worth man.. Just let him on. It was a couple of inches of outer parts," one commenter wrote.
Another added: "For all that effort he was putting in. They should have just let the poor guy go."
The cap wearing man is not the first to go to extreme lengths to avoid paying an extra bag fee at an airport check-in.
Last year a video showing a man, later identified as Shaun Hover, breaking his skateboard in half in order to get it into the bag size checker.
In the clip he can be seen talking with people behind the counter at check-in and asking them "What is it? $90?"
He then places the skateboard on the ground and says, "here you go! This should do the trick!" before stomping on his own property, causing it to break cleanly in two.
He then dumps the remains of his board back into the tester to show that it now fits (in two pieces), saying "alright how's that?"
The person at check-in simply says "that was unnecessary sir."
An easyJet spokesperson said: "Our ground crew need to ensure that customers’ cabin bags are within the maximum dimensions to safely and securely fit where they need to be stowed in the cabin and so customers will sometimes be asked to check this using our bag size gauges in the airport.
"We clearly inform customers of maximum cabin bag dimensions when booking, via email before they travel and it is also clearly displayed on boarding passes."
