Was a VX virgin until yesterday. Up and back SAN-SFO. Cool LED lighting. Not very full.

But both ways I couldn't help but notice insane people going barefoot. One guy even failed to put on footwear while deplaning in SAN. Went up the jetway like it was the beach. I was in an aisle, but some short guy in the row behind me at the window took his sandals off and poked his toes into the seat gaps in front of him. As if the space under the seat in front of him wasn't long enough. (Actually, it made me think he was under doctor's orders to air out his crotch, and had to sit like that with his knees in the air like he was in for a gynecological exam. )

In the Delta forum I normally hang out in, we have threads about passengers propping their bare feet on the carpeted bulkhead partitions, and the like. But those uncouth ones are relatively rare.

Is this normal for VX or do I just have too small a sample yet? Note I am none of the above: young, hip, or barefoot.
