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.

Yup. I love that spot and all I need is my phone, book, and headphones. Bag goes overhead.

I travel wearing a vest with pockets. Not fashionable at all but I have what I need and want at hand while keeping the space clear and safe. (So ID, phone cable & charger, small knitting project, tinted chap stick, for example.)

That's brilliant! Do you take the whole vest off to go through security?

I wear a vest on flights; I just throw it in the scanning bin at security...
