Today, while on a flight, another passenger pulled their carry-on out of the overhead. They forgot about the filled, metal water bottle clipped to the outside until it nailed me on top of my head. FML
Hey all, OP here, never thought I'd get a FML posted, so I guess this is another one to cross off my bucket list. lol
Yes, as stated you can take an empty bottle through security and then fill it on the other side.
Thanks for the funny comments, those made it more bearable. The hit hurt and left a small bump but I have a hard head so it's nothing major, and it was more shocking than anything, I had no clue what happened at first, just sudden pain. The guy with the water bottle was really apologetic and I could see he genuinely felt bad, so no hard feelings.
Hopefully the new year will be better for us all! Happy New Years everyone!
