If you look at the other persons in the photo, with the wine bucket, they are not placing their feet on the coffee table. This could be because they are using the coffee table for its intended purpose and don't want shoes where their glasses are. The person using the coffee table as a foot rest does not appear to have a drink. Therefore, given the absence of food drink, the person is inclined to use the coffee table not for its intended purpose.

I don’t know what your goal is. Incite a discussion that was dying down? Get the thread closed? Try to prove that entirely mutually exclusive arguments arent? I’m not sure. I’m not disagreeing with you that it’s not ideal behavior. I am stating that it’s more common and acceptable even if wrong. What about that do you disagree?
It’s also possible that DL is using Paula Deen furniture in their lounges. They’re both from GA right? In that case if they bought from this line then I was actually doing intended behavior. I jest but I’m pretty sure there’s not a line of bulkheads designed for bare feet. This, wait for it, it would seem one is more socially acceptable than the other.
I will reply every time someone makes personally judgmental comments about me and behavior I admitted was a mistake, or if they can’t comprehend that socially acceptable and clean are very different things.
ETA: She had a glass of wine that alternated between her hand and the table. Your surmise was wrong

My working hypothesis is that so few people on FT actually admit to any type of mistakes that now that I have, its a chance for people to come in and be a hero to the FT world by telling me how vile and disgusting my behavior was. The inability to understand context, mutual exclusivity or discuss multi dimensional aspects of behavior is what puzzles me.

In separate posts I have called it a “mistake” and “my error”. What did you intend to gain by this post? Our arguments are not mutually exclusively. You know what else I noticed in the picture? Nobody was appalled and disgusted as the ~ 3-4 of you are. I am not stating that it is the best behavior. I am not stating it is the cleanest behavior. I don’t know if it’s more or less germy than a bare foot on a bulkhead. My point continues to be that it is more socially acceptable to have feet on a coffee table than bare on a bulkhead. It’s a reasonable argument even if you disagree, and I’ve proven by my rejection from Passenger Shaming and the easiness of finding “offenders” that it most clearly is more common and acceptable even if it’s improper.

I was on a flight where, before takeoff, the Captain came out of the cockpit, saw a guy like this sitting in his fantasy LazyBoy and said "Sir, this is our workplace. Do I come to your office, sit down and put my feet up on your wall? I'd appreciate it if you'd afford my office the same respect."
A bit overweening ? Perhaps. But as that guy's rowmate, I was happy he put his feet back on the floor. There's something distasteful about sitting next to a guy lifting his anus up for some air.

I witnessed a similar event on a train in AMS. We were stopped at a station and 2 guys had their feet on the wall in front of them. A conductor walking down the platform boarded and basically said the same thing as your pilot.

Since I posted the bare feet on bulkhead photo, may I share a thought: it's not a question of whether bare feet on bulkhead is better/worse or more/less sanitary than shoes on a coffee table. The principle is this: when in a place that is not your home (someone else's home, or in public), one should be considerate of others. Would you put your feet on the coffee table in someone else's home? Or your bare feet on their wall while sitting in a chair? I hope we would agree that is not acceptable behavior.

Let's just get everyone in one line to tell me how bad it was and get it over with. Kinda like the get ahold of your self scene in Airplane. Maybe she put her feet on a coffee table too.
