Frankly, I'm the same way. Feet can be truly filthy, and I'd prefer they not be rested on walls, seats, or armrests...

No "barefoot" is actually in the contract of carriage. I'll have to revisit the contract page for no shirt.

This photo may be more unsightly than truly disgusting.

Disgusting too. Think of bare, sweaty skin on leather mixing with everything else that seat may have seen since it's last cleaning.

No pic, but in the JFK T4 Sky Club today a guy walked up to the self service water and filled up his personal water bottle. While I don't care about filling the bottle, it did bother me that he was reusing a small bottle from Archer Farms with a small cap...touching the two bottles as he refilled his own. Um, yeah, didn't want his germs!

:P

Sorry, but no picture of this. Got upgrade on MSP to SEA flight into 1B. Woman with pre-toddler age infant sits in 1A. After take-off I doze, but get awakened by FA leaning over me to tell the woman in 1A “No, that’s against the rules. You can’t do that”. I look over to see she is barefoot with her feet on the bulkhead. I think “Wow, that’s pretty aggressive by the FA. Never seen anyone called out for feet on the bulkhead”, but then I notice why the FA was chewing her out - the woman has laid her sleeping child down on the floor. How many ways was that a bad idea – filthy floor, usually pretty cold and any turbulence and the kid goes flying. Probably safer to put her in the overhead…

I agree. Put the mother in the overhead.

Some of those children make perfectly useful foot-warmers if they've been overfed properly.

Just a hair shy of taking a lip-smacking swig directly out of the thing...

Angry

Yesterday, SLC to SNA flight was stuffed with people, unaware they were in a public space. That seat they’re squashed into? THAT, is merely an extension of their very own living-room, bathroom or front porch.

A middle-aged woman, flossed her teeth, mouth debris spattered onto the seat in front of her. When she was done, she neatly curled up the floss and put it into the seat pocket. I kid you not!

Unfortunately the photo was shot into the sun/window (she was backlit), and did not turn out.


Many other annoying behaviours, but this one was disgusting.
