Comment on Just because you're a slob at home do you have to be an inconsiderate slob in public

  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.

      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 on 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

  It’s a shame people have to share public transit with you

    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 to so I can have more arm space as well.

      I’m tall too. This excuse is horseshit.

      There is no way your ergonomics can in any way be improved by keeping your legs straightened forward.

      • einkorn@feddit.org ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

        And neither can it be improved by kneecaps being overly twisted and pressed against the front seat all the time. Shifting position to avoid one-sided stress on the joints is the key.

  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.

    source

    • curbstickle@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      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

  • einkorn@feddit.org ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    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 arrives.

    • sir_pronoun@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      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.
