Passengers who take off their shoes and socks
No one wants to see your bare feet, not to mention if you’re on the airplane for some hours… “I had a passenger in the first row [of first class] take off his socks and shoes and run his bare feet up against the bulkhead (the front ‘wall’ of the aircraft),” wrote another Reddit user and flight attendant.
So, going barefoot may fly at home, but on an airplane, it’s not just gross to your fellow passengers: it may actually harm your health. While airplanes are cleaned regularly, their carpeted floors mean that some of those germs are there to stay. And worse yet, many people even venture to the restroom in without so much as socks on their feet.

I can relate to the issues flight attendants face. They have a massive responsibility to protect passengers and courtesy should be given them. I used to do air rescue and people don’t realize the fear and emotion I felt when a rescue mission was called. The flight attendants face long hours from home and a normal social life isn’t likely. They would rather have a respectable friend on their flights and that means a lot more than people could ever know. I would want them to be a true friend regardless of their work because they may be the one who saves your life and it can be at a terrible expense. So when you fly be courteous, respectful, and polite. Those simple things means a lot.
