Unless you are a hobbit, there are only a few public places you should be seen barefoot. The beach, swimming pool, nail salon, podiatrist's office...that's pretty much it. On the airplane, at your seat, it's socially acceptable to slip off your shoes and get comfy. Should you decide to wander in flight, or use the lavatory, slip those shoes back on first. Would you walk into a "port-a-potty" or public restroom in your socks? When the floor is wet in an airplane lavatory, water is not the most likely culprit. Even the most deft man can lose sight of his target in turbulence.
If you really feel the need to exercise your inner hobbit, there are a few guidelines to follow:
1. No onboard clipping of toenails...ewwwww.
2. If you peel off your socks to reveal "less than fresh" feet, please cover them with a blanket.
3. Think of the plane as the house of someone you just met...would you take off your shoes and plop your feet on the coffee table? Keep those paws firmly rooted on the ground. Need a visual? Don't do this........
Aggghhh! You have just described my biggest pet peeve as a flight attendant! Why? Why? Why, passenger do you feel like you have the right to rip up an aircraft safety information card with your disgusting toes? Passenger, must you force me to gag on your feet as I am trying to complete a beverage service? I hope you catch a fungal infection from the prior slob who had his feet up there on the last flight!
ReplyDeleteAlso, has anyone ever experienced this before? I am a flight attendant for a regional airline; we operate CRJ200, 700 and 900. My jumpseat is directly facing row 1, bulkhead. When you, my dear sweet passengers in row 1 wanna take a load off and prop your feet up on the bulkhead and you are wearing shorts…I can see your junk! Yes, I can see straight up those shorts my friend! I am bored in my jumpseat, I have five whole minutes during ascent and descent to try not to look at your penis/testicles. Please put your feet down! I don’t want to look, but the horror of your aging male anatomy draws me to sicken myself with the sight. Have you no decency?
