This is outrageous and unacceptable. Who the heck wears a beanie indoors?!? Winter hats come off when you go inside, this is just basic human decency.
Umm, since when?
I wear a beanie at all times, especially indoors. And for reference, basic human decency is for the birds!
i see right through your bullshit excuse to take candid feet picture you perv
edit: you are some spoiled bunch of pearl-clutching snobs. cant tired guy stretch his limbs without some nerd photoing him and making him into a spectacle? seen a lot of sick people in this thread but none of them was the guy in the photo.
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.
Sounds like the best case scenario to me. ;)
start licking your lips
The way Jason’s head slides across Tarantino’s shoulder - smoooooooooth.

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.
They had the thought to take off their shoes as to not get ground dirt on the seat.
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'd probably like it, or at least enjoy your having started the fight they were spoiling for.

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.
the shoes are on the floor
I don't take offense to this.
Agreed. Feet look clean and healthy, and if they were removed from shoes, I can guarantee they have less foreign matter on them then the shoes they were removed from, so I'd prefer them on the seat cushion rather than the shoes. If they were removed from shoes, they might be sweater and have more bodily products in general than the shoes they were removed from, but I doubt the seats on public transit are going to long avoid sweat and skin.
Some people's insistence on covering all body parts at all times in public makes no sense to me.
Agree. I’d be more grossed out with just a toddler sitting there touching their face and everything around them.
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.
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.
Those public seats are disgusting and absolutely rife with bacteria, there are studies on that.
I wonder how they could have possibly gotten that way.
Probably mostly children and people with poor hygiene
Oh don’t forget all the fecal particulates from farts!
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.
So let me at least stretch my legs when it doesn't inconvenience anyone. Shoes off, socks on.
Not everyone has stinky sweaty feet all the time.
The people who take off their shoes on public transit sure do.
I'd happily place that bet.

I wonder if footshaming and footfetishism are two sides of the same coin?
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!"
I'm not gonna be convinced to conflate corporate skepticism with spreading foot cheese over the subway seats man 😭
So you’ve never farted in a public chair? Or forgot to cover your sneeze? Both of those are objectively more gross and likely to get you sick, and spread germs than just feet.
Yes I have forgotten to cover my sneeze more than once in the last thirty five years. Yes I still think it is not a good thing to do. What kind of a question is this man. Do you think that as soon as you break any social norm you relinquish your right to object to any normalization of this stuff for the rest of your life 😔
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.
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.
