Ryanair and Wizzair are soo sneaky! They charge you for every little extra, try to trick you into buying "insurance" and do everything possible so that you don't print your ticket and pay the "check in charge" at the airport. But I guess that's how they keep the prices so low so gotta deal with that...

Some things Ryanair tried, fortunately unsuccessfully:

- introduce paid toilets on planes

- get fat people to pay more. Not the ones who need two chairs, nono, those already pay double. No, the person who's "just" fat but still fits in one chair, let him pay too

- have planes without windows

- have planes with "vertical seats", basically leaning against a tilted wall just so more people fit in there

- replace the copilot with a steward: "copilot is only necessary when there's an accident, so why can't the copilot replace one steward?"

There was an earlier one, too. The one above popped this year; Ryanair popped these in 2008 or 2010:
