Maybe if UA put resting lounges in their clubs instead of chairs obviously intended to prevent people from sleeping in them, this sort of stuff wouldn't happen.
FCS, in the Senator Lounge at FRA, they beds to rest on.
And let's be honest. He's not barefoot. There is as much cotton material between his feet and the seat cushion as there is between your bum and the seat cushion. And at least he's not passing gas between his toes, LOL.

I don't see his clothes as shocking. The airline treats people like sardines, don't expect these sardines to wear business smart attire. Especially since the said smart attire will end up all wrinkled from prolonged exposure to the Y cabin on international flights :P
I know, probably not the same as in "the good old days". But during these good old days I would assume they did not have the passenger density they have now either.
But that sleeping position is something else altogether. Most of the time, when I go to a United Club, it is pretty full. The guy takes up 4 seats. Definitely not classy or polite.

Maybe he just got off NRT-DEN in Y- and this is the first chance he's been able to be horizontal in 12hrs. I notice people doing this at the gate lounges (which I assume are far more dirty). Maybe he's a UA Gold and this is his first time in a lounge.

Yep, that's the shabby looking Den club. Behavior matches the furnishings.

ATMOSPHERE AND ATTIRE
* During your visit to a United Club location, we ask that your attire and conduct are consistent with a professional environment.
* Sleeping is prohibited in all United Club locations.
I would have found another employee and asked them to enforce their policies.

We all have to deal with life, and some times you have to buck up and put on at least a decent, respectful demeanor.
Maybe he's a good guy going through a tough time. And maybe he's just a jerk

Food for thought:
Among superficial fungal infections, by far the most difficult to cure is toenail onychomycosis (Figure 2). The prevalence of onychomycosis has been reported to be as high as 23% across Europe [2] and 20% in East Asia [3]. In North America, the incidence of onychomycosis is up to 14% [4], with fungal infection responsible for 50% of all nail disease...

And I continue to be disgusted at FC passengers who put their bare feet up on the bulkhead. Has a GS doing this last Wednesday IAH-DEN. He saw me scowling and thankfully put his shoes back on. There ought to be a rule about that one, too.

It really is time for the airline to put a stop to such disgusting behavior.

Ugh, that's more disgusting than the lounge sleeper. Flip flops should be outlawed on planes.
The bigger issue for me with the sleeper is not socks on the furniture but the fact that he's taking up 4 seats. Not to say the feet aren't a problem though.
I've never understood the no sleeping rule in the UC. I think it's acceptable to sleep sitting up in a chair...perhaps it's just too difficult to make a "no laying down and putting your feet up on the chair" rule.

Here's my entry to the "are stockings better than bare feet?" debate: (from TG HKGBKK a while back)
