Lufthansa let another passenger use my empty business class row for luggage… what?

This one was a first for me. On a MUC to BCN Lufthansa connection, sitting in business class with an entirely empty row next to me. Feeling pretty good about it.

Then a flight attendant comes over and asks if another passenger can store his bag in front of those empty seats because they’ve run out of overhead space.

I said yes, but I was honestly stunned they even asked, and even more surprised this happened on a German airline of all places.

Not sure what’s more shocking, that they allowed it at all or that it happened in Germany.
