Agreed. However, we have pushed back from the gate and been over ramp weight. We received a couple extra hundred pounds of fuel without asking for it. The bag count was already reduced on the release and we put everyone on board anyway when we were weight restricted. It took a few minutes before we could taxi. We started both engines and left the APU running before taxiing. Otherwise, the flight went off without a hitch.
