Socks in the Clouds
Oct 18th, 2011 by MPC Press
Question. If you are sitting comfortably on a plane, in your stocking feet, and need to use the lavatory at 30,000 feet, must you put on your shoes? For one, it can be uncomfortable fitting your expanded feet into your shoes at this high elevation midway through your flight. More important, does it matter if you stand on an unsanitary floor in socks that will be thrown in the hamper upon your return home? Of course those socks will first touch the inside of your shoes (which may be smelly and dirty already, but not from what is covering a public bathroom floor). I don’t seem to care but are there any informal rules here? Thoughts?
