Since the AAngel may have blocked the seat for me, when she asked if anyone was sitting there, could/should I have said that it was blocked for me?

Or should I have simply moved over to 20B, put my backpack on 20A and then made it appear that both seats were taken?

What's the normal etiquette in this situation? I don't want to be rude to anyone and can totally understand moving 20B to 21B.
I don't think any airlines block seats anymore, especially on transatlantic in coach. I also don't see what the real problem was since the armrest is fixed so it's not like you could stretch out. if you had wanted the aisle seat then you should have booked it. 20B is a less desirable seat than 21B because of the legroom, recline and no storage space.
