I bet a donut it is unserviceable.

We had issues with rampers unloading the front bin too quickly in our 321's, damaged the doors (L1). I know, I know, you should never chastise the rampers for being quick...
Glad it was them and not us, since those guys load/unload all the scum in the L gates.
 
Oh, Francesca...

I remember watching a Brasilia during boarding start to tilt back on its tail with pax on the stairs waiting for the F/A to let them sit. The tail was coming down fast and the ramper in the pit started heaving bags as quick as he could out on to the ramp while the other ramper got the belt loader out of the way just in time. The Bro began to upright itself 3-4 feet from making contact with the ramp. Of course, the pax were just livid that their bags were heaved onto the concrete. It was pretty funny.

I wish this was on video.
 
It happens semi frequently on the 738's, usually caught quick enough before it becomes an issue.
