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.

    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.

  Probably mostly children and people with poor hygiene
