“So I snitched this f—– out to the flight attendant, who told him to put them down,” Richtershared on Twitter Sunday.But the situation didn’t end there. “[He] puts them back a few minutes later & I asked him to put them down, ‘They’re your bare feet, man.'”
“He was shocked & put them down,” Richter continued. “When he just put them back up I decided f— it, I’m tweeting.”
“We had to get off the plane because of lightning and there were dirty toes smudges where his feet were,” theStrangers with Candystar recounted. “I am not exaggerating. You could see the outline of his big toe, etc.”
“The flight attendant came back right before we got off and asked him to take them down again. Guy did and asked ‘is that like a just-when-taxiing thing?’ Attendant: ‘no, it’s a basic airplane courtesy thing,'” Richter shared on Twitter. “Guy seemed surprised to hear that.”

A very similar situation just last month drew public outrage. On that flight, a passenger managed tonavigate through their touch-screen entertainment systemwith their bare toes.
In an article just a few days prior to Richter’s experience,The Washington Postspoke to a former flight attendant about proper airplane behavior for passengers.
“I think people are forgetting that they are still in a public environment,” Elaine Swann told the outlet. “We’re on the aircraft and it’s small. It feels very much like this is our own space. It’s not out and about, walking in the mall or what have you, but an airplane is still a public environment.”
She recommended that people traveling on airplanes treat the space the same they would at a doctor’s or dentist’s office, or the movie theater. Travelers should be aware that their actions affect the people around them, and be courteous of the limited space.
