By this stage they were at Row 9 and the crew asked them just to take their bags and stow them in the overheads as carry-on. There is definitely a missing link or two in this process..
Well I guess they could make the sign a bit bigger? Or perhaps add flashing lights? There is a well known feature of air travel that seems to mush the brains of intelligent, rational, thoughtful people temporarily, and I'm not sure I can quite understand what it is.
