Huh. You get people bringing on stuff that should be in the hold as
"hand luggage" (To avoid waiting at the other end and charges with the
cheapies.)

I have got on (long haul) flights and found my luggage locker above my
seat full with other people's stuff. So I can't even fit my legitimate
stuff in.

I have a cure, I just pull it out and throw it on the deck and put
mine in. Does cause a row sometimes.

I'm not surprised, you sound like a right dick, "my luggage locker" ?, do
you expect the space on the road near your house to be left for 'your'
parking too?

But it *is* 'your' luggage locker. Presumably, you don't fly ? Each seat has
an allocated overhead luggage space, marked with a number to match the seat
it belongs to.

Um, I fly lots. No overhead locker has an allocated space on any plane I've
ever been on. Those markings on or adjacent to the locker are to show what
seats are below them, not which seats have the "right" to use that locker
space. You'll see those same markings on lockers or bulkheads above seats
that have no usable lockers above.

Having paid for the seat, that space is 'yours'.

Wrong.

It is the
people who bring excess amounts of excessively sized hand luggage on board,

I'm not denying there are people like this.

and expect to be able to accommodate it all in other passengers' space, who
are the arrogant dicks, not the likes of Derby Boy and myself, who object to
this practice.

It's anti-social yes. But it's first come first served for the space.
