If it's delicate enough to get crushed by someone putting something on top of it, it's delicate enough to get damaged during turbulence. Why risk it?

last month when I opened the bin, pax in the row behind me said not put my small bag in there as his hat was there !
I was polite, handed him his hat, placed my little bag and offered to place his hat on top...he did not answer, just kept it in his lap.
I so want to see the airlines start charging for more than one piece carry on....solve the problems......maybe even drive the DYKWIA to drive. !!!!
