Another passenger boarding almost last,,about 15 minutes later gets on, opens the bin, turns the oversized bag "right ways" with wheels sticking out, and stuffs his carry on into the newly available space. The bin won't close now, but apparently the late boarder was happy as his stuff was in the overhead bin.

Now the bin would not close, and the FA asked my friend in an exit row if he'd mind having this oversize bag put under the seat in front of him. Before I could say "don't do it mate" he said "Ok" enabling the culprit, and the FA said "thank you" and all was settled. He's not particularly tall, so his lack of legroom was not too terrible, but seriously folks!

Anybody else have stories to share about innocent, sneaky acts that drive you crazy?
