Treading others with the same respect they like themselves, but that is a another story.
My sole interest and my argument is, I don't find it to be offencive using a sofa for resting, if one is hygienic and there is no chairs or what ever designed for it, as is the case here.
My argument is only in regards to use of a lounge and what is considered kosher.
All the rest about class, good upbringing, money or no money I frankly couldn't care less and I would like to emphasise, that me and a few others are the only ones that hasn't mentioned class as a good measure for curtesy.
When I mention class, I am not referring to material class. I was referring to manners. Being a classy person.
While I completely disagree with your opinion that it is neither here nor there if someone is languishing with their feet on the furniture, you are, of course, entitled to yours.
However there seems to be an underlying refrain of haves and have nots threading through the replies. This, I find, offensive. I reiterate, it has nothing to do with money, nationality, age perspective or upbringing. It all has to do with your personal idea of what constitutes good manners and social acknowledgment of others social expectations of behaviour.
There’s a time and place for everything!
