What do your Feet say about you?
That chair is for your seat, not for your feet. I do not want to see your bunion covered fungusy feet while taking your order sir/ma’am. After your face, they are the least presentable thing about you. Didn’t your parents teach you table manners? Is this really acceptable in America, to put your feet on the chair or table opposite of you? In some countries the sole of the foot or shoe is an insult. I know I’m offended. I can tell all about you by looking at your feet. Where you’ve been and where you are going. All those miles spent hitchhiking in the sixties and seventies. The endless pacing from corner to corner when you were a whore in the eighties. Those overgrown, yellow, cracked and stained toenails tell me that you’re too old to bend over and chew them off. Frankly, that is just entirely too much information I never wanted to know about you.

Don’tcha love it? We’ve got one spot especially, with a sofa and a storage/decorative trunk where people like to take off their shoes and prop their sock/bare feet up on the trunk. Then I come with the drinks to put on the trunk and get to go face-to-face with a stranger’s feet.
Yeah, we want you to be comfortable, but not quite that comfortable. And, of course, they never think to move their feet so I can set down their drinks. Never. *sigh* Maybe next time I should spill their beer on their socks. Do you think that’d help cure the bad habit?

I think if people want to put their feet up - they should stay home and order a pizza. Because if I’M out eating…. I don’t want to see that either.

Same thing on public transit here.
Bad enough there. But in a restaurant?!

I’m not sure, but I believe only Americans practice this rude feet propping behavior. I’ve never seen a European or Asian do such a thing. I’ll have you know that this is an every day occurrence. My father would have beaten me to a bloody pulp if I tried to pull this off.

That is so freaky that you wrote this tonight, I had a guy who took his sock n shoes off at the table. WTF? We aren’t that sort of place, actually I’m not sure where that place is…….and he took 45 minutes to eat a starter salad…..freak……..

This kind of crap isn’t acceptable anywhere in public in my eyes. Call me old school, but an ugly steaming pile of feet should reside under a table inside a shoes. However, I see people of older ages doing this crap. Maybe they are tree hugging hippies or something?
