Priority boarding does not give you the right to bypass the rules. Nor does it give you the right to dump your bags in CE and march to the back or to commit assault. I always qualify for priority boarding. I always put the smaller back in front. Reason? I don't want BA to go the way of some *alliance carriers where I have to risk my camera equipment in the hold because 7kg weight limits get imposed. So I go by the rules. So my roll aboard (just) fits in the sizer and comfortably fits in the overhead wheels first. My camera bag goes under the seat unless I am in row 1 (unusual for me) or in an exit row (also unusual for me).
I like the generosity of BA's on board allowances and is a major reason why I fly with them. I don't want to see that eroded because of people like you taking the p1$$.
