The GFL at LHR has a section with around a half-dozen lie-flattish platform where you can doze too. Not really too private.
Note: Most/All of the Polaris lounges have a sleeping / day bed area

Yup. Also count India and Muslims countries among those who find this practice to be disrespectful.

I did count India. There was no way otherwise to get to billions of Asians.

This has nothing to do with physical location but rather the belief that shoes are dirtier than bare feet. The only reason I broached the subject is due to a previous post claiming that bare feet on chairs/table is disgusting and it's better to do that with shoed feet.

While I find both to be borderline appalling I'd find the bare foot more, um, palatable.

Shoes can be quite dirty, as you walk through bathrooms and other infested surfaces, but your socks and smelly feet are not much different than your smelly derriere, which has the most bacteria of any part of your body. Do you know how many obese people have sat on that sofa, sweated for an hour or two, and then ripped fecal coliform bombs into that fabric? If someone is tired enough to put their face in that, who are you to say no? Just let the damn person sleep and get off your high horse! And your cell phone!
Something like this.

And how did your impersonation of a German/Russian/Argentinian citizen go?

Is she from a non-English speaking background so that she could take pride in that btw?

"There is no reclining in the Relaxation Room!"

I guess someone at the SFO domestic club took the OP's thread title to heart.

I understand the sign in context, but it is so contradictory. Please tell me its a 'shop.

So does that mean I can only recline at a workstation?

I generally thwack the edge of the sleeping coffin with my hand or foot until the snoring stops. Repeat as necessary.

I will keep my wallet in my pants. One more thing not to waste money on.

So can we use Bluetooth or polyphonic headphones?

Again, this is just one more reason not to purchase a membership at these clubs. I travel for work. I don't travel for luxury or relaxation. I generally have to make phone calls, when waiting to get on or off a plane. I am not going to step out of "the club" just to make a phone call. Forget that.

If they think I am going to pay good money, for the privilege of not making phone calls, guess again.

Based on UA's definition, there is one UC in South Asia - HKG.

United Club Decorum

Signs recently seen in the SEA & SFO United Clubs to the effect, " do not put your feet on the furniture" [sorry don't recall the exact wording, apparently addressed to all pax, not "Children!"] ... cue image of fussy kindergarten teacher. Seems rather patronizing, huh? Or don't the kettles know about keeping feet on the floor <gr>.

Before the signs appeared in the IAH clubs, I would regularly see people with their feet on the furniture.

I don't understand what the problem is with putting feet up, acknowledging that it is a social faux-paux.

some people have dirty feet apparently. If you just got off a Q200 in CLE and walked thru all that snow/salt for example.

Kettles? No, I think the over-entitled elites are the guilty parties. The ones to whom basic rules of courtesy seem not to apply.

+1.

I don't want to sit on what you just walked through.

Agree - poor parenting, I imagine!
