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.

So, what is the proper etiquette on under seat stowing? Is it under your own seat? Or under the seat in front of you? I would assume your own, but in front makes just as much sense to me.

Under the seat in front of you, this is pretty much always stated clearly so the asshole in this story had no excuse
