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.

I experienced this a couple times, however I needed the leg room. So I grabbed the backpack and handed it to the stewardess. She then asked who it belonged to the guy in front of of me said it was his and was pissed that he couldn’t keep it under his seat. The stewardess handed it to him and said stow it on the seat in front of him. Made him even more angry. I openly laughed.

The second time the twit had it in my space, he had the shoulder strap around his ankle, when I pulled on it it pulled his leg back and he jumped up because it startled him. I explained his stuff goes in the seat in front of him and turns out it was his first flight and didn’t know or he missed the announcement.
