If you take off your socks and shoes during your flight, that should count as an automatic ban from the airline. Unless you're a child---like a toddler, no one over age like 7---there's no need for you to be airing out your piggy toes mid-flight. As an adult, you should be able to wait a few hours while wearing shoes. Many adults wear shoes for 8 or 10 hours during work days, and often times even longer. So why does getting on a plane suddenly inspire so many people to get comfy by airing out their smelly feet? 

We certainly wish people would knock off that socially unacceptable habit, and it's not the only suggestion people have for making the world a nicer place.

  • Other people shared their pet peeves, like when people eat with their mouths open, play music really loudly in public places, and even driving slow in the left lane. Out of all the answers, playing music aloud in public was one of the most popular gripes people had. I agree with them that it's become weirdly common in an age where earbuds cost under $10 and can be bought at any drugstore and many corner stores. I just don't believe all these people playing club music at high decibel during the evening commute don't have headphones. I think they just want everyone else to participate in their music-listening session. 

    Anyway, check out all these excellent answers below. And speaking of irritating things, this flight was held up for hours, not due to a mechanical issue but due to… the pilot of the aircraft.

    Top fan Jordan E Using others suffering for entertainment or as a way to make money. I'm not talking about making jokes after the thing, by all means, joke away. I'm talking about exploiting people in the middle of their suffering, that's just gross. Save the jokes and laughter for after, not during.
