In any case...
Our flight left Birmingham about 25 minutes late, and was at the gate in Charlotte about 15 minutes past the scheduled time. Of course, almost everyone on the plane had connecting flights to catch, so everyone tried to run off the plane as soon as we landed. Of course, since we had to gate-check our "larger" carry-ons, most of them ended up waiting in the breezeway for their carry-ons to be loaded off the plane. One of those people included the woman who sat next to me.
When I boarded in Birmingham, I noticed that she had placed her large backpack, her bag of food, and another bag of assorted stuff in the overhead bin. She didn't place anything under the seat in front of her. Of course, since I wanted to place my laptop bag up there too...
"I'm going to place my laptop bag up here."
-You can't do that since I have my stuff up here.
"The overhead bins are for everyone, not just for you."
-Then I placed my laptop bag in the overhead bin... and she didn't have to adjust the place of her bags.
And when we landed in Charlotte, she was the first one up and out of her seat. Of course, to do that, she had to climb over me in order to get into the aisle - she had the window seat. And, of course, since everyone else in the plane wanted to do the same thing, she ended up trapped in the aisle for a while... And then she had to wait in the breezeway again for her checked carry-on...
My carry-on was the second bag placed on the deck. I have no idea when her bag was unloaded.
