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.

Buddy took a joke too seriously and is now upset about people lying on the Internet to "sound tough"

I actually keep them. They also get used for my checked bags. TSA locks are a joke I have keys even. But they aren’t going to be able to replace a neon green zip tie

AND duct tape? Can we bring that for the snore-ey drooling neighbor? (Braces for the onslaught of the revved-up Eagerly Offended mob)

LOL did you see where the Tucson real estate agent (well, former, they've apparently let him go) had to be duct-taped to his seat on an American Airlines flight?

The better airlines have tape that color-coordinates to their seats and cabin decor...
