Say Squeeze! Flight Attendants Pose in Overhead Bins on Instagram

The next time a flight attendant says that your bag is too big to fit in the overhead compartment, show them these photos.

A new trend has emerged on Instagram, with flight attendants posting photos of themselves squeezing into the overhead compartments on planes.

If you search the hashtag #Overheadbin, dozens of photos appear, showing happy airline workers reclining, posing, and even sleeping in the small spaces.

Guess now we know what’s really going on before you board the plane.

Every hard worker deserves a coffee break, so why not grab a cup of Joe and squeeze into the overhead compartment? She’s getting a caffeine fix and an Instagram-worthy photo…two birds with one stone, if you ask us.

We all have that talkative co-worker who just won’t shut up. This pretty much solves that problem. Don’t worry, he’ll be released after take-off.

This flight attendant says that she was put in the overhead bin by her co-workers as a newbie initiation. We usually don’t condone hazing, but when it involves getting to take a nap, we’re totally on board.

Is it just us, or does this flight attendant make bin life look cool? The hair, the accessories, and the Mr. Congeniality pose make us want to try it out!

The team that overhead bins together, stays together. We wonder if they have to pay more for the extra legroom?
