There have undoubtedly been threads on people putting their bare feet on the bulkhead. On a flight today, I had a guy who took off his shoes and socks and put his feet on the bulkhead. That's part of the problem. The other part: he kept spreading his toes which had were crusty and moldy--imagine bleu cheese mashed up and flatted on toenails. He kept spreading his toes on the bulkhead. Even worse, he crossed his legs--but not all the way--and his heel (which was gross) was basically between us--pretty far up. Needless to say, lunch wasn't particularly appetizing for me, especially looking at the mashed up feta on my vegetable pasta salad. This guy also threw all his trash on the floor. The FA brings him pretzels and peanuts. What does he do? He throws all the packaging on the floor. He opens the packaging to a new DVD. He throws the trash on the floor. This guy was ridiculous.


Sorry about the rant. I'm not making fun of his feet, because we all have our own little quirks. But it's important to be respectful of others around you, especially when the smell is waffed towards you. Idiosyncrasies are cool. Showing your feet and putting them up for everyone to see is NOT.
