I mean if your bag is legal height none of the mainline fins require you to be putting it in sideways, as far as I know anyway! The only question is whether the bin can hold it on its side versus on its back.
Shout out to the fellow 7M8 J pax yesterday who managed to fill an entire J bin with their rollboard on its back, backpack, and puffy jacket.

I’m on the recently redone fin 451. There is a lady who must be a 2MM since she had 2 - 1MM tags on each of her bags. She was first on a fully full flight. She placed her bag in the overhead bin lengthwise in the bin, easily taking up space for at least 2 bags. I somewhat understand a FOTSG doing this, but a MM? She then was not pleased when someone adjusted her bag to fit another one in the bin.
But either way, neither spacial reasoning, self awareness, or common sense are attributes AC bestows on MM PAX.

A puffy jacket should be considered a carry-on or a personal item at the very least...it's even worse when you are in Y, they are in the middle seat, are seat-belt extender size to begin with, and choose to keep the puffy coat on for the whole flight...ask me how I know...

We had a self-upgrading passenger from EWR-YYZ today. He was seated in 12 F but slid into 4F. The FA didn't notice until we were on approach, but then told him to return to his seat. He refused. She gave up. It's weird what people will do for 20 minutes of a slightly bigger seat.

Yes, indeed. The FA has emboldened the PAX, transferring the problem to the next FA who will have to deal with him.

The new bins have stickers inside showing bags inserted correctly on their edge. And there was at least one FA/SD announcement during boarding. There may have been more.

Sounds like some combination of poor service/lack of situational awareness.
When did the passenger hop the curtain?
Neither f/a makes enough to deal with the issue.

I didn’t notice either, but presumably with 20 minutes left or so. Also, they didn’t close the curtain on the flight so maybe he just couldn’t stop staring at that magnificent seat and just had to sit in it.

This was April 5th AC186 and what I was most impressed with the fact this young lady was really tall and she was extremely flexible and bendy! Her feet went between the seats in front, on top of the IFE and it was great entertainment as I could not sleep between the crying cats and the screaming child, so I just watched her feet in a non creepy way....just want to make that clear!
