i see right through your bullshit excuse to take candid feet picture you perv
I don't take offense to this.
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.
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 Internet is truly a bizarre place sometimes.
That's what makes the internet so great!
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!"
Except the norm is lach of respect toward strangers and shared public property.
Individualism is not what the world needs more of.
I'm not so sure it needs more drones either
Maybe a nice mix like always
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.
Losing their minds over a foot on the seat when they probably have their ass on theirs. IDK bout y’all, but butts are stinkier than feet and more prone to having shit on them, and yet those are what seats are made for.
It's precisely because we all have them that we know you don't have any compelling reason to do that.
Comfort is a compelling reason. Jesus Christ, we are so constantly stifled and repressed in this world at every single fucking avenue that I personally will never begrudge a person for sneaking an innocent moment of human comfort in when they can. The idea to frame this as a disrespectful monster shamelessly flouting our sacred decorum instead of as a tired person with aching feet seeking a moment of comfort when they are obviously away from home honestly depresses me a little here, guys.
I've never taken my shoes off on the train ("the metro" in my neck of the woods), but I've absolutely felt the throbbing of sore feet after a long day at the office.
Or fuck man, maybe they feel great and they're just kicking back and soaking in the world to the fullest. I still don't give a fuck. So much of our world is designed to be minimally inhabitable at best. We aren't building things for humans; we're building things to transport, direct, herd humans. It doesn't have to be like this; we can reclaim some of our space. Look at any other mammal—are they maintaining strict orderly lines and never taking up space, or do they lounge when they're exhausted? Why the fuck shouldn't we, the supposed kings of the animal kingdom?
I don't know man, this shit just gets me riled up because we end up being the torchbearers of cultural order in these cases; we are our own oppressors. And we're so absolutely unwilling to risk any kind of exposure to discomfort, like we expect the entirety of the human experience to cater to our individual sensibilities. It's madness.
So look, I don't know about you, but I'm personally willing to concede some my personal aversion to the possibility of experiencing temporary discomfort to extend to my neighbor their need or desire for human-animal comforts. I won't be ignorant about it; every case requires weight, but in the case of literally a person resting their feet on a seat, I find their potential benefit greatly outweighs the impact of any personal discomfort I might experience. I guess you will just have to measure and come to your own conclusions.
I have more to say on this, but this is already a fucking book, so I guess I'm stopping it here.

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.
They probably do the steve jobs and stick their feet in the toilet as soon as they get to work
They'd probably like it, or at least enjoy your having started the fight they were spoiling for.
I'd imagine they would think "ew wtf", but then again I'm pretty normal so idk
On the other hand you wouldn't put your bare feet on a likely dirty seat in a train. You can't work with normal standards here.
True true
That's absolutely disgusting
Remember when you posted scat porn in autism communities?
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.
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?
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.
So let me at least stretch my legs when it doesn't inconvenience anyone. Shoes off, socks on.
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?

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'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.
