Now thats way different from what you originally inferred.
BTW I too would do or say what ever I could in a civil non-threatening way in order to get the bag in a bin and not under the seat in front of me. Usually if ist not the last person aborad or the only bin that has room, there maybe some wiggle room.
If they announced the door has already been closed then I wouldnt push it to hard as I wouldnt want to be the reason the flight is held up, and would understand teh FAs are trying to get us out ASAP
