Edit: I have no problem with people falling asleep, it’s unavoidable with travel. However this is could equate to eating with your mouth open. Nobody wants to experience it.

Given he had taken his shoes off I wouldn't have expected anyone to make an issue out of it unless space was at a premium and someone else might be inconvenienced. Here I am using my 'leap to conclusions' mode and thinking that said pax had already not entirely endeared themselves to staff for other reasons.

I'll add another point. Lying down on lounge furniture is taking up space. I've seen (recently) crowded lounges where people are taking up more seats then they have butts whether that be lying down (taking up 3-4 seating positions) or 'curled up' (taking 2-3 seating positions). It is worse when the guest has other companions and not sharing space. Personally, it is fine for a lounge to have loungers (like the LH SEN lounge) that are meant for quiet time, but all other seating should be single seating. This is one thing that most UA lounges do right (EWR C terminal and ORD F concourse being exceptions that come to mind).

The lounge is not just a room where you can eat as much as you want even if you don’t like it and drink yourself into oblivion. Some people will need to rest there too. That’s all our American (perish the thought he was Canadian, albeit they always travel with a maple tree) friend was doing.
Have you not dozed off in a lounge? I have.

Just chill out.
I don't think this employee is right.
If you on those giant bed/sofas under the tents, and you want to have a doze, you should be able to put your feet up - probably with shoes off.
Maybe they could provide anti-mocassas to put under your socks?
Its odd how people are happy to sit where somebody's butthole and gonads / ladybits have been pressing through a layer of cotton, but not where somebody's feet have been - covered in socks!
Of course those old recliner beads and the cabanas could be brought back.

I have trouble even venturing into the washrooms these days with shoes on on planes and in public places...without sounding gross, parents need to teach their sons to control dribble before walking away from the urinal or bowl and I try to straddle the puddles that are usually on the floor.

Better if he used the fresh socks from his amenity kit?
