You don't even have to do that anymore as images can now be posted directly to FT posts using the "Attach Files" function. There was briefly an "Announcement" sticky at the top of all forums but I see it's gone now. This blog post though has a nice step-by-step for those who need detailed instructions:

Meant posting these a while ago but I had forgot until I was looking through photos.

Both guys with bare feet on the wall and as if that wasn't bad enough, one had a big bandage on his foot.

That seems awfully low on the disgust scale (unless you were planning on licking the wall). Plus, if he has an injured foot, I'm sure shoes cause extra pain from the pressure.

Disgusting but not uncommon. Remember this the next time you're sitting in Row 1 and you start to reach for the magazines.

I think that post #525 still holds the answer. Packing Nutella now whenever I fly.

But how do you, umm, apply it? I think flicking a bit of water would be easier & more subtle and deniable.

That's when you start kicking the seat-back until he gets annoyed and turns around. When he asks you to stop, negotiate a fair exchange. "I will stop kicking your seat if you stop putting your hands in front of my screen."

Sometimes snark is more fun.

Nose Picking Excavation, Wipe On Pants Leg, Repeat

Sometimes you see things you just don't believe, I did a double take.

12:40 AA flight today, DFW-ORD, just before takeoff, center seat exit row shaved head guy inserts index finger into his nose up to the first joint, digs vigorously, wipes finger on pants leg (his own pants leg thank god), reflects briefly on his progress in locating whatever he was looking for in there (missing car keys, perhaps), and repeats this process 7-8 times before he was satisfied his results.

Pilot announces we are landing at O'Hare, begins descent, and apparently he once again became anxious that without those missing car keys he couldn't get home, because he repeated that same process:
  1. Excavate to depth of one knuckle.
  2. Inspect fingertip carefully.
  3. Wipe on pants leg.
  4. Repeat

At which point I was really wishing that instead of an just an armrest between us that there had been something a little more substantial.
