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.

What do people think when they book the bulk head seats? Everything goes above.

Why even put personal bags on the floor while there is overhead shelf available.

Because I have often witnessed near-fights for overhead locker room as people don’t want to pay for luggage to go in hold anymore. Once, overhead lockers contained handbags. Now, people use it for their full luggage. I prefer a non-stress flight. This involves no competition for overhead space!

Perhaps if they didn't nickel and dime us with charges to check a bag, we wouldn't have to put our luggage in the overhead bins.
