Such germophobes here! You'd be surprised what goes on in the kitchens of even the finest restaurants---"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe … were true."
A guy wearing socks is not a great vector to spread foot infections, fungal or bacterial.
But to claim that the UC aspires to promote "a professional environment" is akin to saying that Madonna aspires to be chaste.
There is nothing classy or professional about any UC that I know of.
Now, the LH F lounge in FRA, that is classy.
Hey! Those are my legs.

I don't find this to be gross. Sitting on an airplane seat is probably nastier. I do, however, find him to be inconsiderate for taking up so much space.

will "make your hair stand on end" Humans, for the most part are dirty animals...Fortunately, we have developed appropriate immune systems to keep us safe in most situations.Needless to say, I rarely go into a UC these days...unless absolutely necessary! It is not as much fun as it used to be! (except when I am flying F on SQ, EK, LH or any number of foreign carriers)

I was working for a few hours yesterday in the cubicles (DEN UA West) and a guy was kicking back on the phone with one barefoot up on the desk.
I stopped and gave him the "WT-F look" pointing at his feet - and he rolled his eyes at me.
Also, in a quiet environment, I do my best to consume my food in a dignified manner, (meaning quietly as possible, chewing with my mouth closed, and keeping my space from appearing like a toddler's high chair table) - but from the sounds of the way people eat they'd be more at home with a pack of raccoons.

From my flight on April 10th - posted in the "least substantive things to complain about thread". I detest bare feet - and unfortunately they are everywhere...

Can't be sleeping since that's against the rules. Perhaps he is having some sort of medical emergency. Share that concern with the lounge staff & ask them to check on him.

That was my first thought too. The club get crowded on Mondays- and the high gate one doesn't have enough chairs for the office cubbies.

To me, this is when you get one of the dragons. I find the general staff people (the ones who clean up the place and refresh the food and other counter supplies) lackadaisical about such things. The dragons, however, will respond. When I was in the EWR C2/3 club, there were several people who rearranged the chairs in the TV lounge so they could sleep. I told one of the dragons and they immediately did something. One of them went in the room, woke each person up one at a time, told them it wasn't allowed and put the chairs back the way they belonged.

I was in the LAS club and there were two people barefoot with their feet on the table - and the sign was one foot (pun intended) away from their feet. Yuck. Went to the agents there and told them. They waited a minute as not to rat me out and then went to the offenders and told them to put their shoes back on and no feet on the table.
