When we land, I get up and there is nobody in the aisle in front of me at the time, so I walk to the row 26 overhead to get my bag, then wait to deplane standing next to row 26. Some guy turns around and tells me "you cut in line, that's bad etiquette". I say to him I'm getting my bag from this locker, I'm not going to walk back to row 30 afterwards to wait just because I sat there. And that was the end of that.

Was I being unreasonable or was he (or both)?
I think what you did was fine. If you had all your stuff and were the first to stand up, I don't think it's rude.
