Someone asks him where he's seated, and he doesn't respond. He asks who owns the bag above me. I say it's mine. (Boarding is seriously backed up now because the man is holding up everything.)

He wants me to get up and move my bag. I said no, I wasn't moving my bag. There was plenty of bin space on the other side of first class as well as what I could see of coach.
I've never seen a coach pax insist on having his bag in an F bin but I swear it is at least every other flight that I see coach pax putting their bags in the F bins while boarding. Sometimes an FA will direct them to when it's towards the end of boarding but I would say it happens most often at the volition of the coach pax.
