You must be American. It's a slightly different procedure there. Take the bag down, put yours up, and then wait for the plane to fill up. When that's happened, flag a stewardess down or wait until they tell you that the bag has to go up, and hand it on over. Unfortunately in the US, everyone's paranoid as hell.
I have a great solution for this. Everytime I see this happening, I take the bag down and pop it on the floor on a vacant seat. Eventually the bag makes it into the overhead lockers... somewhere.
Enjoy your flight Mr. Type - A person, and then enjoy finding your damn bag because you left it out of your sight.
