Another foot

Ha. I’m in PP on a 77w in bulkhead row windo and suddenly along the window wall comes a hard shoe wedges against my coat and seat. I nudged back. It went away. Sheesh!

At least she has on footie socks. Socks don't bother me. If somebody keeps their bare feet on the floor of their seat, I have no right to object. But most people's bare feet are not nice looking and might be smelly. I would rather people keep their socks on.

Doesn't a lot of airlines give out socks to wear? I know at least in premium economy and above.

I’m a bit surprised I need to mention this on what I thought was a travel forum.

I definitely get the disgust with feet on bulkheads, armrests, seats etc. But I also don't get what is so upsetting about the two photos where people's feet are @ ground level. Would sandals make it any more tolerable?
Is it people don't like seeing the feet... or is it they don't like the idea of people walking barefoot in filthy areas like planes? I'm confused.

A brown-hair European accent young lady in Seat 10A of 777-200 Polaris (UA 890 PVG to SFO, 6 JAN 2020). Perhaps a camera is not that bad an idea, at least it can alert the UA cleaning staff to disinfect the slot under the video before next passenger put fingers in it.
(Moderator: please move to a thread on passenger behavior if one exists.)

At least she hasn't been to the bathroom yet.

I've seen worse.
But I have to ask; what is a European accent?

It’s a good thing I prefer the odd numbered seats

PS: who needs fixed placement cameras?

My apologies. I was going to say non-west coast American, non-Chinese English, non-UK English, non-Australian English.

Yes, but when they are sized for a child, it's no wonder people aren't wearing them. 😬
