I was so grossed out...
I recently traveled in first class from Boston to Los Angeles.
A lady next to me was wearing sandals. She removed her sandals during flight and and was not wearing socks. Her bare feet did not bother me.. but, she kept on going to the bathroom with no shoes or socks.
All I could think was she must be stepping in urine with her bare feet. I was so grossed out..
I am crazy or just overreacting....

It's her problem, but I agree it is gross... I would have made a big pantomined effort to put my shoes back on before going to the loo, saying something like 'do you have any idea how gross it is on the floor in there with people peeing all over the place... God, every bump... whosh, splat!, " with a laugh now that you're both in on the same joke...

If I was only given the choices of going barefoot or with socks (of course, in reality, I only wear shoes), I would choose barefoot. Barefoot, you wipe your feet on the carpet as you walk back to your seat. With socks, you end up soaking up all the liquids on the bathroom floor and bring it all back to your seat with you.

It might be fun to tell the next person that you see doing this that you are a consultant for the CSI TV shows and you would like to culture their feet to see what the different pathogens are that they picked up while walking barefoot in the lav. Tell them that it will be the subject of an upcoming episode...called Suspicious Death in the Air...
