Exactly.Common sense and courtesy seem to have been a victim in the race for overhead space.

^ I agree.
First come first serve does not mean that you can deposit your bags anywhere on the aircraft even before checking to see if there is overhead space above or near your seat. I find this behaviour to be what, in my younger days, was associated with ignorant people in societies considered less civilised.
There would be fewer problems, and delays if people behaved rationally
Place your belongings in over-head bins above, or at least near your seat.
Place your roll-aboard and other stuff to maximise space use, not based on your convenience.
Don't bring excess baggage on board. This includes frequent flyers, not just those who are referred to with the K word.
If you have too many items, place some under the seat in front of you, not your neighbour's.
Treat overhead space as if it were your spouse/date. Use your own, not your neighbour's.
