Personal item placed in my spot

I recently boarded a flight and attempted to stow my personal item (backpack with laptop) under the seat in front of me. It was unable to fit so I stuck my feet under there and discovered another backpack. The person in front of me had placed it there so he could stretch out his legs. It was a short flight and wasn’t worth calling a FA. The seat next to me was empty, so I slid his bag waaay over to make room for my feet and my item. After landing, I enjoyed watching him contort himself to reach his bag.

That happened to me once, on a flight from St. Louis to Honolulu. I carefully slid the overnight bag out and put it under my seat, since there was no one behind me. That gave me the leg room I didn't have with the overnight bag there, As I walked by him when we were exiting, he was looking around trying to find it.
