I've had this happen to me way too often when sitting in the row behind the bulkhead. To avoid this, I simply avoid this row when selecting a seat, and go a few back. When sitting a row behind the bulkhead, I've been the recipient of evil stinkeye looks from pax when its obvious I've asked the f/a to have them take their stuff out that's blocking my legroom.
As a solo traveller, its work enough to deal with the seat switching and poaching crowd, let alone to add a legroom thief into the mix.
