I don't really care, but please keep your feet covered and stop picking your nose, ears and scabs, refrain from flicking toejam, fingernail clippings and do NOT use your table napkin as a handkerchief. Cover your mouth when coughing or sneezing and do wash your hands after using the restroom. With soap.
A-men ^

there are ways to dress casually, even for vacation, and then there are ways to dress to offend.

Feet also carry nasty germs, viruses, warts, and fungi. It's just gross, especially in confined spaces with hundreds of people together. There should be a very strict no-barefoot and skin covered rule.
Someone could transmit all these germs, bacteria, viruses even dressed completely professionally. Ever seen someone picking their nose, teeth, sneezing/coughing and then touching armrests, table trays, overhead bins, door handles, etc.??? Happens all the time. It has very little to do with how someone dresses - it's about acting respectfully towards others.

At least they can't clip their toenails wearing a suit. And their athlete's foot fungi, yellow nail fungi and warts are contained inside a sock, which is better than being rubbed all over the pods.

I don't think anyone suggested that it was only those who are not well dressed who do these things. You are very correct, it has nothing to with the clothing. I work in a professional environment wear people often where expensive clothing, but they still do many of those things. People dressing sloppily is a pet peeve for sure, but all that other stuff is gross and unacceptable no matter who does it.

And thanks, penguin. I usually try to disassociate the guy who did not wash his hands from the guy using the food tongs at the MLL. After your post, not sure I will be able to trick myself into separating them any more.

- complaining the slow MLL elevator (particularly in YYZ).
That's fine to complain about, they ought to have stairs.

ok - what about Birkenstocks or similar sandals ?

Haven't been in any MLL in a while and although I'm sure it's been mentioned, my biggest pet peeve are people who stuff their bags with drinks and and snacks like they are entitled to it all.

Welcome to the gym. Or the beach. Or someone's backyard.

I understand it's Friday and some people go casual.
Right now in the MLL, there are people who look like they are still at the gym in complete yoga attire.
LOL, then I am afraid that I am going to offend your sensibilities. I travel in yoga attire all the time. There is nothing more comfortable on a plane than a pair of stretchy pants, paired with a comfortable tee, and topped off with a stretchy jacket with a hoodie and long sleeves (complete with thumb holes). Add a pair of slip-on Skechers and voila! ... travel attire that works for air travel of any length!

P.S. Heaven is getting out of my daytime business suit (and dress shoes) and into this outfit at the airport before I board my flight.

If high schools are having troubles enforcing the above, I can't imagine the lounge would have an easier time enforcing that.

I saw a monk once fill his entire large thermos full of coffee from the MLL once. Who said buddha isn't watching? :D

So who from here is going to publish the handbook on what we can and cannot complain about? I'd be the first to buy it so that I can study it all year long - maybe get a University degree in it.

I'd like to know. I still don't understand why people here in this thread and other threads in this forum judge on what we can and cannot complain about.

All Allvest is asking for is for everyone to just try their best and exercise common sense and common courtesy. That's about it. Just try at the very least.

Birkenstocks are not on in the Qantas lounge,Air Canada would be wise to follow their example.
Too funny.....Love people who think the law doesn't apply to them.They go public,thinking they have been hard done by and then cop it even more.
