You are in an aisle seat and something heavy falls off a meal or DF cart?

Another particularly heavy pax (with shoes on) steps on your toes as you are passing in the aisle or waiting in line for the washrooms. I've seen that happen in a line for ice cream at a beach and heard the crunching noise of the toe bones. That poor girl was in agony and was screaming uncontrollably...horrible

There is some broken glass on the floor if someone has dropped a glass or crockery and the FA's (or cleaners if a previous flight) missed parts of it?

An FA or fellow pax spills some hot coffee or tea on your foot.

There are 4 reasons - took me all of 2 minutes to think of. Apart from that, it is truly disgusting to go into the lavs barefoot or in socks with what is usually on the floor after around 30 minutes of flight.
