Likewise, the job of the FA during boarding is to keep an eye on such things. It's not like it's the first time she's seen a CR7 either. People need to stop making excuses for inconveniencing others or not doing their job.
Maybe there's something wrong with me, but if I had been thick enough to not get my stuff stowed and ended up taking someone's legroom - #1 I'd feel like a jerk, and #2 I'd try to rectify it myself ASAP regardless of the FA's laziness.
I agree it could have been done much better (with a lot more apology and courteousness, and checking the OHB first). I was only saying that based on my experience, the FA probably has to deal with pax with hand baggage in row 1 >50% of the time, and the CR7 is a special kind of evil for finding space for it. I couldn't believe it the first time I flew a CR7 and saw the starboard bins are half size and the port ones don't exist (used to E70/E75 which have full-size bins in F). She was probably in a hurry, assumed the bins were full, and was looking for the best way to not have to gate check a laptop.
100% should have been done with more grace, but UAX crew are overworked and underpaid [yes, I know it's still their job] so long as this isn't over the OP's active objections I'm going to stick it up at a "missed PDB" level of annoyance. If I needed my leg space in the air, and someone tried to stop me getting the bag moved, that would be a whole different deal. As is, meh. I'd let it slide.
