Bad Habits of QF Lounge Users
Why do people think feet on tables in airport lounges is acceptable? It seems to be more common then ever. Two lounges in two days, female and male. Surprisingly they are not GEN Y or Millenials. The lady is in the Brisbane Domestice Business Lounge. The male is in MKY Regional Lounge. Should I say something and shame them into better manners? It really frustrates me and is very unhygienic. |
[mod hat] Picture of woman with shoes on table and a man with his legs on the table but not his shoes. [/mod hat] |
say something if it bothers you. You most likely will get backlash but who cares. I personally find the gentleman resting his legs far less offensive than the lady who plops her feet directly on the table. Gross.
I can't tell you how many times I have told loud Americans to lower their damn voices here in Europe (particularly college-aged women but also loud businessmen in lounges) because they are so clueless and annoying as hell... |
Foul. Send those photos to PassengerShaming.

You won't win by speaking out.
Its 2018 and people have no scruples, and no sense of shame. Putting feet up everywhere is now the norm. Bulkheads, chairs on public transport, in airline lounges, on the seat in front of the person and then shaking or wriggling the said seat in front. You probably would get the glare of death, and then, derision for the rest of your time in the lounge, and worst, if they were on the flight you were on. Lounge staff also don't care anymore, ... |

Should I say something and shame them into better manners? It really frustrates me and is very unhygienic. Rather disgusting. I'd say something to the lounge agent to intervene (I don't particularly wish to have an altercation with a passenger and they are less likely to do that with a staff member), citing hygiene concerns, and thus even bring up that dreaded "health and safety" just for the hell of it (= implication is that allowing unhygienic conduct may breach their health and safety obligations) if I feel they won't do anything about it. Anyway, I wish QF imposed behavioural standards rather than dress standards. E.g. don't shout down the phone, don't put feet on the table/seat, don't let your children run around screaming, don't talk so loudly to each other than people 15 metres away can hear you, don't eat and drink standing right at the buffet while others are trying to serve themselves etc. |

Give me a loud American anyday over a cashed-up bogan FIFOuters don't bother me but the cashed up bogan on board in C in lounge well that's just very Qantas! Never forget that ex-CEO of Westpac (mind you isn't she an Afrikaaner??? ) sitting behind me in QF C ADL-SYD wearing torn pantyhose and walking barefoot without plane socks to the portapottie onboard! Distinct difference to sitting next to Ita Buttrose in C ADL-CBR-SYD and also saw her in CBR C Lounge -the epitome of graciousness simplicity and pure elegance!!! |

I certainly can’t change the world nor do I aspire to be the etiquette police (I would go mad). But that said I do speak up when cretins encroach on my mental well-being. |
Life would be much easier if you were less concerned with others.... (just my advice)

Having a sign with ‘no feet on seats, no shouting’ makes your lounge feel like a standard class carriage on public transport. The latter shattering any image of exclusivity lounge occupants may think they have. |
The feet thing is something QF can address easily. It’s a question of hygiene plain and simple. |
Too funny. I was talking loudly on my mobile at gate 15 Sydney domestic shuttle transfer stop when a bogan told me to keep my voice down. I let this bloke have it right back telling him "Mate - I am not shutting up - this is a public place and if you want a peaceful environment, then you should go to the Qantas lounge." mmm - perhaps the Qantas lounges are flooded with riff raff now too.
