Is it me or does anyone else think (when they see that this thread has been updated) "oh no, what now?"

I would agree, considering that the person also walked through security in bare feet *yuck*

Song Parody Time!

You know, it has been years since I had fun and posted one of my once-infamous song parodies — so here is one with no apologies to Pink Floyd:
Another Foot on the Bulkhead Wall

We don’t need no stinkin’ footrest
We don’t need no shoes or socks
Cheesy toes with callouses
Passengers prepare to be grossed
Hey! Passengers! Time to hold your nose!
All in all it’s just another foot on the wall.
Once again, dirty feet on the bulkhead wall.

We don’t need no deodorant
We don’t need no pedicure
Your headrest or armrest works fine for me
Black-bottomed feet are a disgrace
Hey! You! Get your feet outta my face!
All in all it’s just another foot on the wall.
Once again, dirty feet on the bulkhead wall.

“Where’s the flight attendant?”
“If you don’t put down your feet, I can’t eat my dinner. How can I
eat my dinner if you don’t put down your feet?”
“You! Yes, you behind seat 12E — put those ugly feet down!”

Or you can have the "Queen" say it for you?

You created that one quickly!

For a moment, I thought someone else had already done that and I did not know about it.

Does that robot or whatever that is count as photographic evidence of disgusting acts by Delta Air Lines passengers?

I saw the most disgusting thing I've ever seen on a flight on my ATL-IAD route yesterday morning. I was sleeping and woke up when I smelt a strange odor. The "gentleman" across the aisle had his bare foot against the seat in front of him. He was using medicated wipes/pads to treat the warts on his foot. When he finished with the first foot, he repeated the procedure on the other foot. I was truly too stunned to even take a photo, but the image is seared into my brain.

I take my shoes off on longer flights, but I ALWAYS wear socks, and NEVER put my feet anywhere but on the ground.

After living in Asia for several years, I feel awkward wearing shoes inside someone's house.

Anyway customers who select the cheese will also be able to get a smell along with the description from those manky looking feet, how awful.
"He eats his dinner in the dining room every night."

I was sitting in F going MSP-EWR and watched a reality tv/famous custom motorcycle builder have his massive work boots up on the bulkhead. Other than that rather tasteless display, he said hello to everyone and took pictures with anyone that wanted one. I thought that was rather nice considering the flight was something like 9 hours delayed.

Now do I post the incriminating photo? LOL

Perhaps I've missed a separate dedicated thread for this topic, and yes, I know you can't quite take a photo of this disgusting act (at least not one that shows much other than reactions), but I feel the most sickening (and common) passenger behavior is indiscriminate flatulence. I understand that it's a natural event, and one that sometimes is hard to avoid, but I don't take issue with the occasional squeaker. My ire arises when someone repeatedly and knowingly vents nearby, essentially holding me captive to their tailpipe. Last month, I sat in front of a dude who must have released - I am not exaggerating - a solid 20 times during the hour. Not only that, but they were wicked. The worst part is that, while I was 80% sure it was him, you rarely can be *completely* sure. Therefore, I didn't feel comfortable confronting him, knowing it could have been the person next to him, or even two rows up. Had I proof, however, I would have loved to have shoved his nose up his own rear and let him share the experience.

Hah. This guy didn't test; he was at war, bombing without restraint.

Oh, boy, a two-fer! Seriously, what ever happened to sitting like a lady, with either ankles or knees crossed (or at least knees together)?

The woman in the green capris next to me is very friendly with the FAs, and someone from Y keeps coming up to chat with her. I think she may be a non-rev.

Shoes or socks on the bulkhead are not particularly offensive as long as they are not on the pockets and reading material that the next person will be touching with their hands.
