Unfortunately this happens so often that I'm not even surprised anymore. But there is a variation that some of you may have also seen -- where the person puts their bare feet or the soles of their shoes all over the magazine pouch, thereby ensuring that the next person who reads the magazine or otherwise touches the pouch can have the next best thing to direct contact with their feet or shoes.

Same here. In Korea, a lot of the restaurants that have areas where you sit on the floor and eat require you to take your shoes off. Almost all Koreans in their home walk around without shoes and they generally sit on the floor with some even sleeping on the floor. The same goes in Japan.

I don't understand people in the US who walk around with their shoes on inside their homes. I have to constantly remind non-Asian friends of mine to take their shoes off when they come over. NYC sidewalks are full of dog excrement and I don't want that crap all up in my house.

Shoes on the bulkhead seem nasty to me. I think socks are generally much cleaner than the soles of a shoe.

I read somewhere (will do a search later) that those who grow up in homes that have the "no shoe policy" are healthier. I grew up in such a home. And I so wish my dear mother were still alive so I could show her that study. All 6 kids gave her a hard time over the years. But she was way ahead of her time in other things too. Like cooking all our meat until it was so dry and tough that I never knew what a good steak tasted like until I left home

Oh and to make my point.....we were all very healthy. I know genes played a part......two healthy people got married and had kids and in the 50's did not run off to the doc every time one of us sneezed

I get this quite often on my DL flights. I typically just keep putting my elbow down on top and they figure it out.

Socks are absolutely cleaner than shoes. So are bare feet.
I'm not Asian but I also don't get people who walk around with shoes in the house. As far back as I remember we took our shoes off in the house growing up, and today that's the rule in my house today.
