As a frequent traveler many times I get upgraded to first class and I am astonished how many people up in first class have no class at all. Think about someone coming to your house and putting their feet up on your furniture. Or someone coming to your house and immediately pulling their shoes off to expose their barking dogs to the world — smell and all — sometimes. Think about someone coming to your house and thinking someone should wait on them hand and feet – bring me another glass of wine, another cookie please, this is cold-go warm it up. And never a please or thank you in the bunch.
Well if your stomach turned a little bit, then you just experienced first class on many US airlines. I think I have yet to get on a plane in that class of service and someone didn’t immediately put their big foot up on the bulkhead divider or removed their shoes showing their dirty socks and odorous feet.
Come on, maintain a little bit of dignity in public! When I was on a train in Europe in my reserved sleeping car I put my legs up on the bed deck but the bed wasn’t flat so it was in essence a chair. The conductor surprised me with a 50,000 Lira ticket (back when the Italian currency was the Lira and not the Euro so you know the time frame) – of course that was only $50 back then, but it was the point he was making: Maintain some sense of common decency and keep you feet off the company’s furniture or you’ll pay. Maybe that’s the next fee the airlines should impose — a public decency fee.
