Me, yesterday. Sat in the exit row of the ATR, and my perfectly reasonable backpack wasn't going to fit in the overhead bin dedicated to exit-row passengers without being jumped on repeatedly (because it's an ATR bin). The FA told me I could put it under my own seat because nobody was sitting behind me.
Then someone sat behind me.
I think she'd have let him ride all the way to Oulu with nowhere to put his feet, if I hadn't asked about it. In the end, she moved him and my bag stayed put.
Why someone would deliberately choose to leave their bag out of their sight and within easy reach of complete strangers is beyond me, even allowing for the fact that they're selfish asshats.
My friend and I applied for airline jobs in Australia, but they didn't Qantas.
