Just because you're a slob at home do you have to be an inconsiderate slob in public

i see right through your bullshit excuse to take candid feet picture you perv

Gotta sit next to the feet and start licking your lips. Look em dead in the eyes and go, "those piggies look soooo suckable."

See how quickly they react. Worst case scenario, they're a freak AND a slob.

start licking your lips
- The way Jason’s head slides across Tarantino’s shoulder - smoooooooooth.
they’re a freak AND a slob.

you're riding public transit and expecting people not to be a little freaky?
- Yes
  
  The vast, vast majority of civilised people
The Internet is truly a bizarre place sometimes.
- That's what makes the internet so great!

At least they took of their shoes. Some people don't even do that

I would have preferred shoes on in this situation. Ideally, keep your shoes on and feet on the floor.

I'm always amazed how some people have no self awareness. They have no concerns for others. And yet if you acted like they did and it affected them they would be so pissed.

Just sit in the seat next to their feet and put your bare feet in their lap.
- I'd just sneeze on their feet making sure they could feel the particles of spit landing on their toes. That'll hopefully gross them out and force them to put their shoes on.

Maybe his feet will catch some sort of ass disease as karma.

I'm hoping for plantar warts. The dumbass deserves an uncomfortable reminder of their stupid decision with every step they take.

TBF, I keep the socks on, but other than that: If no one else needs the space or sits next to me? Why not?

I'm a big guy, so anytime I use public transport either my back hurts because the top edge of the back rest pushes into my lower back, my knees hurt because the space between seat rows are too small or both at the same time. So let me at least stretch my legs when it doesn't inconvenience anyone. Shoes off, socks on.

To anyone saying "Booooh! Unhygienic!": I dare you to tap hard on the cushions a couple of times. For even more shock effect, do it when you are the first passenger of the day.

Why not? Mostly smell for me. Because feet being imprisoned in shoes most of the time gives them an aroma most people don't like.
- It's interesting to me that so many people assume by default that others have smelly feet. I guess we have all met the stereotypical sweaty guy at the local nerd convention. But in general, if your body produces a notable bad smell when you are not exercising and despite basic hygiene, there is probably something wrong.
Totally agree with you, what's the big deal? Those public seats are disgusting and absolutely rife with bacteria, there are studies on that. Some reasonably fresh socks (or bare feet) absolutely will not matter there. If anything, your feet will get dirty because somebody's feces and urine are already on that seat. (they really are)

And for the smell: alright, if there are a lot of people and your feet stink, that's a no. But the smell usually isn't great in public transport anyways.

  I wonder how they could have possibly gotten that way.
totally true those people who booing at everything that doesnt fit into social norms someone made up for them probably think that they will never have health issues and bare feet
- I'm booing. I have health issues. I have bare feets.
  
  The fuck are you trying ot say?
If I smell your raggedy ass feet I will tell the Zugführer
- Mein Führer ...
  
  ... the Zugführer has not kicked the dude off the train.
  
  Also, I hope you keep your well aged salami and cheese sandwich in your Tupperware. And don't you dare sit next to me with your cloth smelling like an ashtray because you "had to" smoke one more before the train arrives.
It's a shame people have to share public transit with you
- Yeah, I should probably just cut my legs by like 20 centimetres, so I fit the body model the designers used. Shave off some width on the shoulders too, so I can have more arm space as well.

And even with a "please keep your feet on the floor" sign right next to them.

I'm guessing that's the real context behind the picture, eh? Otherwise why would you bare your feet when it is apparently cold enough to be very well bundled up?

Lemmy is a funny place.

"Don't conform! Fight the corporate homogenization of society!"

Somebody steps outside the bounds of expected socially-conditioned behavior:

"Shame! Conform! Shame!"

Wtf.

Ridiculous, common decency is enemy of no one but people like the one in the photo.
Except the norm is lach of respect toward strangers and shared public property.

Individualism is not what the world needs more of.
- It's feet. We all have them. Ya'll are acting like this person just squatted and dropped a quart of chunky diarrhea all over the seat. Calm down.
- I'm not so sure it needs more drones either
  
  Maybe a nice mix like always

I'd only let it slide if the person was trying to sleep and it wasn't busy. Even then, I would at least expect socks, though I suspect theirs became drenched.

I don't take offense to this.

Are Flamethrowers allowed in public transport?

Asking for a friend...

It depends. What's your estimated net worth?
- Somewhere in the negative.
  
  I'm guessing I'm allowed an anti-matter flamethrower?

I've never understood this. I have a condition with my feet that means i pretty much walk on bruises everday of my life. In medieval days they flogged people's feet to torture them with a condition I deal with every day.

There are days I take off my shoes and sob.

I would never do that. I keep my shoes on in public.

The bottom of this person's feet are not purple like mine are. What's their excuse? Put your shoes back on.
