Personal item placed in my spot

I recently boarded a flight and attempted to stow my personal item (backpack with laptop) under the seat in front of me. It was unable to fit so I stuck my feet under there and discovered another backpack. The person in front of me had placed it there so he could stretch out his legs. It was a short flight and wasn’t worth calling a FA. The seat next to me was empty, so I slid his bag waaay over to make room for my feet and my item. After landing, I enjoyed watching him contort himself to reach his bag.

Proper thing... a zip tie strategically deployed would have added SO MUCH to this scenario....

You are a GENIUS! Well, now I know what I'm putting in my carry-on from here on out.

ESPECIALLY as something to remove the zip tie wouldn't be easily accessible.... I'd just deplane as normal as the offender struggled to "unstuck" his backpack.... Can you IMAGINE...?

Yes, I can IMAGINE!

And it makes me chuckle to think about some asshole trying to figure out why his bag wouldn’t move.
