I really wouldn't care if someone did that. It would be nicer if they took their shoes off first but I'm not going to be eating my dinner off or even touching that surface, so why get worked up about it? Especially to the point of taking a picture to post about on a web forum.

I admit to trying it, but it was so darn uncomfortable I didn't last a minute.
It annoys me only if i'm hemmed in at a window seat.

I was the only passenger wearing socks (the other non-Arab passenger, an white American woman wasn't) and I was tempted to take them off too, but I was too lazy to bend forward.

Actually, I've just realised I do often put my feet up on the wall at home.
In my home office I have a corner desk, and often sit with my legs extended and my feet on the wall. I find it very comfortable.
At least I don't have to worry about offending anyone there, or my picture being posted on shaming sites!

I do this on the bulkhead occasionally to lessen the swollen feet and I really wouldn't care if people disapproved or took photos of me.
However I do make an effort to only do it whilst wearing the free socks provided, and not with either my shoes or bare feet against the wall, which are both a bit unpleasant.

Your shoes step on the ground, where for example is dog piss/.... and other stuff. You put these dirty shoes on the wall. Then other people come and slide along the wall to get into the window seat. Where you think this now transfers to?
Good manners are not to put shoes on walls or seats. Period.

I was brought up when public transport had signs all over the place telling you not to do this or that....no spitting/no feet etc. So it's not something I would do although I wouldn't get too worked up about it if I saw someone doing it.
Being seated next to a nose-picker, persistent cougher, head and crotch scratcher is more uncomfortable...so says the wife.

Does not make it acceptable, and feet on the bulkhead are not.

Shoes are worn to the lav with all kinds of liquids on the floor. I don't make a habit of rolling my head on same floor, so there is in fact a difference.

Me thinks this is the time to send the pictures to BA customer service and ask them to put up a sign saying: Please do not put up your feet onto the Bulkhead....
