I saw a couple like that last month, just made me sad that such people were so self-possessed and yet lowly Group 2 peons like me ... ;-)
I hate when people do this. Was on a very delayed flight out of Nashville. Had to board late for F because they kept changing the time and got stuck in the bathroom when I thought I had more time. First bins were full of laptop bags and other tiny bags but no regular bags. No one had anything under their seat. I did lowly grumble looking for space and settled for 15 rows behind me.
Here is the nice part, after landing I swim upstream for my bag. The F pax were like offensive linemen blocking as hard but once I reached the first row of Y the passenger asked me which bag, and like a bucket brigade, that bag was politely passed 10 rows forward to me.
