There is nothing more annoying than boarding near the end of first class, having a seat in a row 1 bulkhead and then having to navigate all the way to row 4 to find overhead space because some knucklehead who is not in a bulkhead row can't put his knapsack under his feet or in the overhead that is above his own row. Then I end up fighting the sky priority traffic to get back to row 1 from row 4 and additionally have to fight the traffic back upon landing.
Also iritates me in Y when I have a bulkhead. Usually the bulkhead is blocked until the flight is open in EC and if I get booked into an earlier flight or if EC isn't available when booking and my upgrade doesn't clear I end up in that seat when I request an EC seat from the Gate Agent.
I try to gate lice when I have that seat because people are lazy and just use the first bin so they don't have to carry their luggage to the back. Even when I have been within the first five to board a lot of times that space is taken. Either by someone in front of me or if someone is seated in first and the rest of their party is in Y and the GA allows all of them to board with first.
It's a pain to have to fight to get to the back when deplaning. Also a pain to get my laptop when the bell chimes. A lot easier to just stand up and grab the laptop out of the bin and sit back down.
