I agree with you though.
People know the limits and should maybe consider alternatives for excess like this person is doing. It surprises me as to how many people try and argue their way out of paying excess, this must infuriate the check-in counter even more.
Also remember that if you are travelling with family that all your bags are weighed altogether rather then each bag separately, which is always better as if you are travelling with someone who doesn't buy much and they are 10 kilograms under the limit that gives you an extra 10 kilograms.
