Club Suite - closed door confessions

In my last trip in Club Suite, I realized that it's much more convenient for me to use my toe to touch the screen than my fingers (too lazy to sit upright and reach out). Once I'm in my seat, I like to be barefoot anyway, so why not?

But I normally do this only when the door is closed, guess it's more discreet and I don't attract awkward stares.

This got me thinking... once the door is closed, is there anything you'd do that you don't normally do? I haven't yet seen anyone dig their orifices though, but am unsurprised if it happens.

It's confession time...

An excellent reason to pack Lysol wipes.

Oh I’d definitely take cover if I were you, and if you have a nervous disposition never come back to this topic! 😁

Gross. Totally gross. I am boarding a Club Suite flight in an hour and twenty minutes. For my own sanity I'm going to assume you are just trolling.

I fly a 787-9 operated route. Nothing to confess as no door to hide behind.

Please think of the people around you and not yourself.

I was in 1D recently and 1F was free. The guy in 2F moved forward, in bare feet. Underside were clearly a little mucky and even went to the toilet in bare feet. I nearly said something and wanted to move. I just do not get why someone would want to sit on a plane in bare feet?!

He put his espadrilles on before landing, but spent the entire time, including getting up with no shoes on. The plane floors are filthy?

You wanted to move because somebody was bare footed on a plane? How do you cope when by a pool or on a beach?

because nobody ever ever, does anything remotely "disturbing" with their fingers.... I would almost bet, a clean washed foot/toe, covered in socks all morning etc, is way cleaner, than unwashed fingers, after boarding a plane

After reading this, I’m so glad I rarely use the IFE, and when I do I tend to use the remote rather than touch screen.

(Now you’re going to tell me you use your tongue to work the remote, right? )
