Sorry to hear that we are corrupting your speech.

In general I agree. I try to avoid the bulkhead seats since I usually have two pieces - I'll stow one under the seat in front of me.

Also agree that many people do not know how to make best use of the space. Also making it worse is that often in F class there is less overhead space and one of the bins is taken up by the dummy oxygen masks and other paraphenalia. And then the leftover pillows and blankets cramp things up too.

I like the new overhead bins United is introducing, where the wheelies can be placed perpendicular to the side of the airplane (as opposed to parallel) - these bins can accommodate more space. But I remember the reaction when I reported it in FlyerTalk - someone said that United is trying to pull a fast one.

Another pet peeve of mine: people with bulky carryons who hit people sitting in the aisle seats with their carry ons.
