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.
I wonder how they could have possibly gotten that way.
Dude it's just socks
And my comment remains unchanged.
Edit: I think they are mad that I suggested even socks on a public seat are gross and making everything even more gross, because thats how they got that way.
If you walked through shit and dirt in your socks, sure.
But other than that? Do you really believe there is such a big difference between putting your feet wrapped in cloth on a seat and your ass wrapped in cloth? Do you think someone first puked on their feet, then put them on the seat and that's how it got there? Do you really think the cushion is deep cleaned all day every day after the shift? Man, I got bad news for you.
I think the people who would take off their shoes on public transit are absolutely the kind of folks who will have taken them off in other scenarios, and are far more likely to be contributing to the infestation of seats. Yes.
Edit: Confirmed, lots of gross people on Lemmy with zero consideration for others. PS: I guarantee your feet stink, and yes you taking them out of your shoes to showcase your feet stank for others is not only gross but inconsiderate.
public spaces are meant for everyone
... Yes.
So dont be inconsiderate and gross.
Where is the confusion?
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.
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?
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.
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.
YES cold smoke is so much worse than some standard feet in a semi-empty train car, also it's actually bad for everyone's health
Good thing I don't eat in trains or smoke.
