I don’t know who needs to hear this, but your bare feet do not belong on the walls, seats, tray tables, or screens when in flight. It’s gross and shows a lack of common decency. This seems to keep happening, so I will continue to make this public service announcement.

I have witnessed people do things on a plane that should never be done in public. Plucking eyebrows, trimming finger and toenails, and brushing teeth should either be done in a lavatory or not at all onboard. People, stop being so gross.

Air India Gremlin Feet

Back in January, I shared this passenger’s “gremlin feet” and the audacity to push their feet through onto the armrest of the passenger in front on an Air India flight.

Foot on Tray Table

Prior to that, I wrote about another passenger who thought the tray table (where people eat) was a good spot for his feet.

Foot Plane

There was also this incident with a bare foot invading the space of the passenger in front.

Thoughts of this in FC? 😂

The latest comes from Reddit where a First Class passenger has his bare feet propped up on the armrest.

Foot on Wall

I’ve witnessed this first hand (pictured above) and it’s not pleasant. Keep your shoes on. If you’re on a long flight (and your feet don’t smell), socked feet are okay. Just don’t put them on the furniture and please don’t go to the lavatory in socks or barefoot. That’s not water on the floor.

Anthony’s Take: When flying, you’re stuck in a metal tube with lots of other people. Don’t do gross things and please keep your feet covered and to yourself.

What would happen if that armrest was lowered without warning?
