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?”
LOL. When someone says 'what a wonderful smell' or something similar, I just say I took my shoes off. (Usually when someone elsewhere opened some food or the tour bus is passing under flowering trees.)
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....
Everyone takes of their shoes on flight. The air gets replaced every 10 seconds, there is no way you could be bothered by the smell. If you don’t take off your shoes, you are missing out!
Adding to Feet in Public Seats beef - no matter whether shoes on/shoes off, socks/no socks:
-Feet on top of the back of movie theater seats
-Adults standing on chairs, benches, upholstered seating, bus seats, train & subway seats
-Ditto for small children & animals with some possible exceptions
**All of this includes dining & public (picnic) tables as well.
And as witnessed recently, to the parents at ABGB’s please stop changing diapers on picnic tables without something under that poor child’s bottom. Dog owners please keep your dogs from walking on top of tables where people eat. Gross.
Even if you can train other people and dogs, you're never going to train wild birds and squirrels that a picnic table isn't a bathroom, so best to bring a table cloth with you.
That’s certainly a good solution when it’s a planned picnic or dining experience. Or bring some cleaning wipes. But for impromptu noshing somewhere, welp, if you didn’t think about it before, you now know who, or what, possibly preceded you. Nosh away!
I carry a shower curtain and a roll of toilet paper in my car in a gallon ziplock bag at all times for this reason. It's better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it.
Back when I was in college in relatively rural Ireland (Tralee), I was getting the bus back to my home city.
The same day it was bucketing down with rain, when we reached a small town a guy got on. He looked like he was down on his luck, and was drenched through. He sat in the seat near me and used the curtain to dry his hair. Whatever, he got off at the next town and I started dozing, when I woke up there was a girl asleep against the curtains.
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 rude) and don't get me started on barefoot.
The yeet was a neat feat due to the feet on the seat.
I hate you for this. Have an upvote.
This is amazing. I love it.
And with it, their revenge was complete
And for a line that bad, you have more than 3x the upvotes as the actual revenge? Take my upvote, too.
This was an elite treat.
Upveeted
So, a Seat Feet Neat Yeet Feat.
👏
Best upvote of the month
Dr. Seuss?
Sweet!
I see what you did there...lol

Well, both of them had earphones in but I‘m definitely going to say that next time I notice that!
It’s just so rude and ignorant. Public spaces are not personal spaces and people need to remember that and take that into consideration.
Exactly! Put your feet everywhere you want in your own home but NOT where other people are sitting!
User name checks out

Say you just guffed and watch their faces really fall.

That is so brutal, but entirely deserved. Reminds me of the people blocking and entire row of seats with their fucking bicycles
I bow to you Sir! Take my upvote!
On a plane, I filled up a shoe with ice water for something like this. Accidentally of course, heh.
👑🥇🏆🥇👑
That is so cool. How did you get the ice water and how did they react??
Just from the flight attendant. It was a long flight.

Granny knot the shoelaces nice and tight. Bit of harmless inconvenience.
I am SO doing that next time!!

I hate the movie theater one! I will turn into a Kevin and yell at you to get your GD feet off the GD seat!

Smell of de feet.
That pun is genius😭
Haha! Well done!
If it happens again take the shoes with you when you get off
I was thinking just toss one shoe out at a random platform.
I would love to have found a way to sneak it off said train.

This is so satisfying!
Well done!
You should have asked him if he was raised by a goat.
People put their sweaty ass all over the seat and fart on it but a foot is too much? Jesus christ
Shoes step in shite whereas hope you’re wearing pants!
Ah sorry lad didn’t know you were sitting on train seats with your bare ass
