I hope I never see you on a flight. You bag might "fall" out or get spun sideways and no longer fit
And you better not stick anything else up there, ie laptop bag, backpack, briefcase.
Acutally, I would never touch your luggage, but I might give you and the FA a piece of mind.
Why do you feel that you deserve more space than the rest of the people on the plane?

Only time when I had it checked in was when the ground crew are total sticklers (for example SIN, HKG, MEL, SYD). If I cannot carry extras, I mail it home.
