I think I'd be OK.. no ???
You can do that, but I think you might annoy fellow passengers by taking up space. FAs will try to do wheels first to maximize space.
If it doesn't fit wheels first then it doesn't fit, but what really annoys me is people who don't try it before sticking it in sideways.
24" is definitely too big. Once at HKIA, they didn't allow 22" carry on for economy passengers. Remember, it will be full too and you have to be able to lift it into the overhead. You may have trouble getting down the aisle if it's too wide!
