So if this happened as stated, and you were only flying with 2 modest sized bags, then it's just down to a particularly eccentric member of cabin crew who you will have very little chance of flying with in the future.
It is because this experience is so counter to all my others flying BA that I posted the thread. I’ve come to the ultimate conclusion that I am going to give the benefit of the doubt and assume I misunderstood what she actually meant. I would rather chalk it up to a kind of bizarre miscommunication rather than any other kind of genuine attempt to prevent my row from surviving in case of accident
