What exactly is the problem ?? Feet on the carpet, feet on the bulkhead ?? I am tall so the bulkhead is great to stress your legs against and if I am in the aisle and you want to get past then no problem whatsoever. In the end it's comfortable for the legs...end of

I dont do this, but find the disgust from so many people rather interesting. I agree it's not a classy thing to do, per se, but I approach this as a "whatever helps you get through this" type of thing. It doesn't bother me one bit. The above photo is definitely crossing the line though.
Does anyone actually touch the bulkhead for any reason?

I totally disagree. Sometimes I read things on FT and I think for god sake get a grip! Or remove your head from up your own ar5e you get the picture 
however I totally agree with the OP this drives me mad you wouldn't do it at home so why do it on an aircraft or any public transport or in fact anywhere for that matter!
Like the old saying taste and class is something money cannot buy

The only difference is at home you would be lying on the couch.
Honestly you really need something else to occupy your time.
How many of you have approached these passengers and had them remove their offending feet?

Without wishing to sound provocative - what exactly is the problem? If it makes people more comfortable and doesn't directly impinge on other people's space or comfort what is the issue?

This. I also don't understand the offence this causes. People are not putting their feet on a surface with which other passengers will come into contact. It's not like people putting their feet on a table or seat.

Small space / respect for others / behave appropriately. That's all.

for note.. I have more of a problem about Uncle T's post than the 11hour flight Emerald lady... (I've probably done that one myself with my shoes off/airline socks on) - but the former is clearly a short haul flight and as someone else has said - crosses the line!!
Outside shoes / bare feet - not nice.

I have never done this, because I never pick that seat-- But for those who sit in that bulkhead I know it is super annoying when people think the bulkhead is an isle.. I would put my feet up too to prevent people from walking past me like it's a two way street...
Now that is the issue- not her fut on the bulkhead, but the people who use the bulkhead as an isle

Oh no see you are wrong I have plenty of things to occupy my time! I am a tall guy and further upthread someone else commented they would do it because they are tall and anything to get comfortable but I would not do it I would feel like a knob if I did and I know everybody else would.be thinking "mate get your feet down" we are all different this is just one of my pet hates. Like I say people on FT moan about the craziest of things and I have lost count how many times I have thought to myself get a grip; get a life; and some people on here clearly live incredibly privileged lives; however putting your feet up on anything public transport or not is just rude and unsightly.
