I've seen someone actually clipping their toenails underneath the Toby Zeigler in Galleries F.



The piece is named "Designated for Leisure" (2003), though I'm not certain that's the sort of leisure activity the artist had in mind to complement his work.

Our cleaners don't even wipe down the tray tables between every flight, so no, they don't clean the bulkhead. I do dislike feet where they don't belong, basically anywhere above floor level, whether shoed or not.

People should travel on trains more if they would like to see really appalling manners.

The other evening on the train home from London a very well spoken lady asked a youth to remove his feet from the seat. He ignored her. She repeated her request more forcibly and he kissed his teeth at her.

His feet remained on the seat.

It's a minefield. I know you see signs to keep your feet off but I don't know if it's legally enforceable. If people have no manners they have no manners.

Was it Toby Ziegler?

It's a breach of the Railway Byelaws, and Merseyrail frequently prosecute people. (I don't agree with this Judge Dredd-style approach btw, but yes, it is enforceable!)

I agree, I get so wound up seeing it but it does seem to stem mainly from transitting off an overnight flight, really makes me want to confront them. Had an issue with a couple in Nice airport really, both put their feet on the table - i didn't have the nerve to say anything but gave them a stare with daggers and loudly commented on the lack of manners many hold

Ha, just posted my own similar-veined thread before reading this!
Just shows contempt for those around you I think.

Oops, Ziegler, spelling, not likely to see him (the actor at least) flies Virgin as a chum bumped into him last month on the way back from LA in Upper Class. Same name as the artist.

Take a look at his stuff when you're next near the GF champagne bar:

"Composed on reflective industrial fabric, the painting’s surface shifts and transforms when viewed from different angles, revealing the landscape within as a chimera of light and perspective."

I agree too. It's a horrible, inconsiderate behaviour towards other passengers who might use the table later.

Upright, not taking up all the sofa! It does two things - reduces the likelihood of snoring and it reduces the space taken up by them.

Having said that, I think BA should provide sun lounger-like seats that are not flat but reclined instead of some of the sofas.

Indeed, I think there should be a quiet zone in the lounge where anyone using the mobile phone or otherwise making too much would be chucked out, and the rest of the lounge will have a noise limit too.

I don't really care about that one, as long as they do not smell and are covered up sufficiently. I do not particularly wish to see knickers under an excessively short skirt or someone in a mankini in a lounge or on board though. As long as it is reasonable, I don't care.

I agree too, I really hate it when anyone nearby does that. It makes me feel ill, so I am compelled to walk away! It's pretty horrible to chew with one's mouth open, whether it's loud or not. I think it should be an offence that warrants eviction from the lounge or the aeroplane.

Absolutely agree!!! I keep seeing children do this, and even taking a bite and putting it down. However, as I have seen so many parents supposedly supervising their children and still allowing them to do this, so I don't think "supervision" is helpful. More like policing by staff is needed.

Any more? Lots more... I have seen so many cases of the following in T5 GF and other various lounges (and for non-buffet comments, in the CCR, as well as on board too).

Feet in shoes on seats.

Loud sniffling instead of blowing one's nose.

Failure to put the hand towel in the loo into the bin and instead throwing them on the floor.

Leaving a right mess behind in the loo.

Leaving dirty plates/glasses around the buffet.

Standing around right by the buffet talking or eating for an extended period of time, preventing others from accessing it.

Picking up food from the buffet with one's hands when there are serving utensils provided. (I like the QF lounge signs that tell people they MUST use the serving utensils provided.)

Stuffing their bag with food and drink from the lounge. I saw someone stuff about 10 packets of crisps the other day.

Wheeled bag on a seat or table. Wheels are the same as feet in shoes. Not exactly good, is it?

Picking nose and sticking the gunk on the seat (!!).

There's no specific bylaw, it's a catch all under Bylaw 6. Train operators, however can have specific rules of carriage.

I saw some particularly impressive "bad behaviour" in the Glasgow lounge a couple of weekends ago whilst waiting for my delayed flight. The standout items have to be:

• Ignoring the tongs when selecting the sandwiches (I don't know where your hands have been)
• Watching the tongs fall onto the floor whilst grabbing 5 sandwiches by hand & then picking them up and putting them back
• Digging ones hand into the cruton pot to get a handful of "nibbles" (much like one would do with a bowl of peanuts)
• When needing ice for a drink, ignoring the tongs and plunging ones hand into the ice bucket to grab a handful of ice

I picked all my food from other ends of the sandwich tray and/or a different ice bucket....

Well it's preposterous to think you can use an airport lounge as a snooze area.

Using it as a doss house for a few hours is my main issue. I don't expect to find some quiet time for myself for up to an hour while sharing it with a snorathon of transit pax.

But that's exactly what a lounge is for.....relaxing,especially in between flights.
