With that said I see this happen all the time (and got to experience it first hand with my items)

Is it at all unreasonable for the FA to ask if anything is fragile already in the overhead before shoving items in? Odds are the people who already are seat around that overhead bin are within hearing distance, and if they asked and no one answered then heck it's on that passenger.

Really in all honesty is it that hard for fellow passengers to do the same?

Thoughts?
