ignoring it only encourages the perpetrator to try again.
Next up you’ll find the same person in your paid for seat, arguing for you to sit elsewhere as it is easier for them.
Personally, have encountered this after being one of the last to board to find someone else (trying it on from traveller) in 62K in Club at JFK - at which point they’ve opened the blankets and got their grime over the pillow etc - ie disturbance.
I’ve been in the situation where a self upgrader (kind of) stopped me getting a meal. I was in the last row of WTP in the A seat. The middle of this row was a family of 4 (2 kids) with grandparents in WT. The grandfather swapped with one of the children, and I was served food last to be told there were no meals left. The grandfather had obviously taken an adult meal (mine) instead of the child’s meal intended for that seat. I highlighted this to the crew, which resulted in me getting a meal from CW, but it didn’t result in the man getting booted back to his seat.
