Guilty of this on occasion, but I'll spread my bags out so that I'm not hogging everything directly overhead.

A colleague shared the plot from today's episode of Douches and Karma aboard AC's Rapid Air.
My colleague boards in Z2 and places his legal bag in the overhead above his seat in row 14. A subsequent Z2 pax puts his legal bag in the overhead in that same row, then heads forward to grab his seat in row 12.
Eventually, a Z4 passenger boards, removes Mr. Row 12's bag from the bin, places it on the floor, and puts his in the newly-vacated bin space. He then casually grabs the seat next to my coworker and continues using his mobile phone as if nothing happened. Coworker wisely decides to bite his tongue and let the cabin crew handle the homeless bag.
While looking for a spot to place Mr. Row 12's bag, they discover that Mr. Row 14 Loser's bag is too big to allow the bins to close, so his bag goes underneath and Mr. Row 12 -- who has been non-the-wiser this whole time -- has his bag end up back in its original spot.

This is nuts. I get irrationally angry if people touch my belongings, beyond simple repositioning within the bin.

Luckily, on a 787 in J, I can usually leave their bag the stupid way and still fit mine in the correct way. But if there's already a second bag, I need to flip theirs so it takes up the space of 1, not 4.

I've seen a person trying to store their roller in the overhead bin, with the handle still extended. I think that would count as a stupid way ...

These dumb folks simply emphasize the Darwinism theory and as such if there was ever an emergency I know who to save (what, too cold?)
