Just curious if anyone has had this experience? It's happened to me just the once - from Paris to HKG, PE to BIZ. Was so grateful - as the gentleman next to me had taken his shoes off and had them virtually on my lap! Steward saw it and once at cruising alt a very diplomatic "sir, would you mind having your dinner in another seat... and please bring your bag."
