Hmm, I mostly get the person who seems to make selections on their IFE screen with what appears to be their fist, or a kid who may be so afraid of DVT they will resort to leg exercises that involve kicking the seat in front of them.

It once happened to me years ago and she got a hard elbow jab right on top of her foot. THEN I said "Oh, sorry, I didn't realize there was a FOOT there!" (in a voice dripping in sarcasm).
I still feel proud of myself when I think back on it ; )

That’s when you order a hot beverage and accidentally drop it all over the armrest!! (And before people scream assault, I wouldn’t actually do this - but it would be awfully tempting!!)
Although I did have someone do this to me once. I asked them politely to move their foot, and when they rolled their eyes I told them they I would start tickling it if they didn’t move it. The offending foot was promptly removed and was never seen again. I am always shocked at what people think acceptable behavior is.

I like to stick my feet way under the seat in front of me, stretching out in E-. Usually I'm in my own "under the seat in front of you" space but sometimes I slip past the bar without noticing and accidentally bump the feet of the person sitting in front of me. Very embarrassing.

I've had a foot on my armrest as I was filling out my customs card, and I used the pen in my hand to poke their foot. Not quite stabbing, but they got the message and moved their foot promptly. I did not have to touch their bare foot with my hand directly.
I nip stuff like this in the bud immediately, I'm not putting up with it for the duration of a trans-pacific flight.

I've had feet (varieties of bare, socked and shoed) poke at me on my armrest - almost always when sitting at a window seat. I have no compunction about just pushing them off with my elbow.

This.
I was in the UA 747 way back when sitting in the upper deck exit window barcalounger, when the guy in the window seat behind me stuck his bare feet along the top of the lockers so that they were right next to me. I turned around and politely asked him to move his feet out of my space, which he did right away. (But with a look that appeared to me to be slightly bewildered. Well, too bad for him!)

Amusing (actually annoying) that YOU got the "bewildered" look, like you were the one that was in the wrong. What could he possibly have been bewildered about ? Never ceases to amaze me how offending parties are the ones that put on that angry scowl, offer absolutely no apology. Just another selfish, unthoughtful clown with no clue.

I sat in 21F (PP bulkhead).
To the person seated in 18L (Polaris J), your seat faces the aisle, your seat is not 100% private. I have unobstructed views to what you are doing with one of your hands and feet, as much as I would prefer not to see.

What is it with the feet on planes??? So many people sit down and immediately take off their shoes. Has this increased the past few years or has it always been this way and I was oblivious to it?
Then they walk around with bare feet, socks, whatever. It's nasty!
(Last year on an AA flight, the FA Announcement included a schpiel about not taking off your shoes and walking around, especially in the lavs. One and only time I've heard something like that.)
