What cheeses me off

[jastel]

Same as Roo
Usually travelling alone...Im not a drug addict so cant even use full coffee cup to save the table.
No purse or bag and not leaving my phone there...

Once my seat disappeared before I got back to it with my first cornflakes.
Most times its after the corn flakes when going for bacon or toast whatever, you get back and cornflakes bowl gone and new people sitting in your seat while you stand there with a plate of bacon and nowhere to sit.

I deliberately make a bit of a mess at places like this to discourage seat theft.

Maybe I should start carrying a small cheap foldable hat around and leave that on my table to indicate ‘not finished’.

But then how to avoid it being taken? Brightly coloured? Have Rick Astley motif on it? Hmm, decisions, decisions?

I carry a free magazine and leave it open on the table with a cup of water beside it and some napkins. If the worst happens it doesn't matter if it's taken.

WCMO...

"As you take your seat, please place your larger bag in the overhead bin and then turn it around to occupy less space."

We're on an aircraft where the largest regulation carry on, which most have, doesn't fit in the locker with the short side facing out (it can go in, but the locker door won't close). I suspect most people and crew know this already, so this is a dumb announcement.
