"Who let the dogs out" is not a question you want to be asking on public transport, especially when those "dogs" are someone else's toes that they've decided to liberate from the stuffy confines of their shoes and are now displaying proudly to all other passengers, perched on the seat in front of them.

It should come as no surprise that putting your feet on things is generally considered to be impolite. This kind of antisocial behavior disregards the base social contract that we must adhere to in shared spaces, offering an unsightly presence—and probably unpleasant odor that other people are going to be stuck experiencing in the close quarters of an enclosed public space such as public transport. This woman wasn't going to put up with such behavior and was resolved to take a petty stand and teach the shoeless-wonder a valuable but harmless lesson, sneakily moving one of his shoes just out of sight.

    Put your sweaty feet on the train seats? Of course we're gonna move your shoe away! I just got off the train with my boyfriend. There were two rows of two seats facing each other in front of our regular single row. The bloke was sleeping with his feet on the seat in front of him and had put his shoes on the ground (mind you, it's warm around here and sweaty feet are basically present on everyone). His girlfriend (I guess) was busy with her phone.

    So, what do we do? Carefully move the shoe we could reach away using our own feet and pull it toward us, then kick it back behind our seats underneath the luggage rack. When the last station was announced, we left our seats and when he woke up, we heard him say "Where's my shoe??". That single moment of panic was so worth it. Don't put your sweaty feet in trains seats, people.

    MapleTheUnicorn Gross and I like your petty revenge. It would have been even better had you gagged and asked "What's the horrible smell? Smells like rotten garbage in here?" grandmascabbagerolls OP. Well, both of them had earphones in but I'm definitely going to say that next time I notice that!

    Gronk183 2 days ago This sort of happened to me years ago. My family and I had been on holiday in France and were on the ferry home. It was absolutely packed, and there was a guy lying across a bench seat that could have comfortably seated 5 people.

    I asked him to sit up so we could all sit down, and he basically ignored me/ feigned sleep so he didn't have to get up. My wife didn't want me to make a scene in front of the kids, so I didn't. What I did do was pour my entire large coffee into his shoes (that he had left under the bench) and walk away....

    Smokey_Katt On a plane, I filled up a shoe with ice water for something like this. Accidentally of course, heh.

    MaoMaoNeko-chi The way I deal with these situations is by essentially throwing my bag on top of their feet. Feet should be on the ground (not only in public spaces, putting your feet up in someone else's home is disgusting and ) and don't get me started on barefoot.
