Yes, this!
I take up a lot of overhead bin space - I travel with a laptop bag + diaper bag and always sit in the bulkhead row (I don't want my bags accessible to a nosy toddler). Those two bags can almost fill up an ERJ overhead bin, but until businessmen put their laptops under their seat and jackets on their laps, I will make no apologies for that.
