They did but too late since the gate agent took the bag and left. I pled ignorance when the passenger in front f me asked me about the bag. But when I asked why it wasn’t placed in front of them the reply was “I wanted space for my feet”. Sweet vindication.

They have a number of names for people like you. FR policy against ad hominem comments prevents a listing thereof.

Civilization continues only if as many mature people as possible observe the old "Golden Rule".

You know the one: "Do unto others as you would have done unto you."

The passenger chose to take someone else’s space. He got as he gave. Maybe you have a name in mind for people such as yourself who accept such passive aggressive behavior from others? But then you would rather take the passive route of hinting and implying your name calling instead of stating it outright.
