Are Flamethrowers allowed in public transport?
Asking for a friend…
Somewhere in the negative.
I’m guessing I’m allowed an anti-matter flamethrower?
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’d probably like it, or at least enjoy your having started the fight they were spoiling for.

Like the person sneaking photos of people in public to ridicule them anonymously on the Internet?
What’s wrong with taking your shoes off before putting them up on the furniture? Seems the polite thing to do so you don’t get snow or mud or whatever other shit is on your shoes on the seat. It’s not like there is someone else using either of those seats opposite at the moment. Maybe you’re just feeling shame about your foot fetish? It’s okay to have a kink about feet, but non-consenting voyeurism is not okay.
Maybe his feet will catch some sort of ass disease as karma.
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.
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.
There is no way your ergonomics can in any way be improved by keeping your legs straightened forward.
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
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.
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.
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.
So let me at least stretch my legs when it doesn’t inconvenience anyone. Shoes off, socks on.
And even with a “please keep your feet on the floor” sign right next to them.
