Why do millennial women think it's cute to put their bare feet on (public) furniture?

I blame yoga. Seriously.

Also blame the flip flop trend. They are already walking around with the feet basically out, so it's only a small step to taking the flip flops off.

We should go back to what they did in Jesus's day -- have everyone wash their feet before they enter a home.

When they do this to me, I tickle their feet until they move said feet or elsewhere.

LOL soon we will see a story on the news that someone did this (tickling) and are being accused of assault.

I believe in tickling; stand your ground!

Not appropriate.

I'm currently at the library in the study area.
There's a man approximately 45-50 years old with his bare feet propped on the desk.

First time seeing such a thing, guess it really does happen and it's not just limited to millennial women.

Yes, exactly! I really hate that OP is picking on millenials. I get so tired of stereotypes and I'm a boomer.

I can see that. There's also something very look at me 'center of attention' about it.

Must be flexible!

Not. They stick their feet in between the seats and onto the armrest in front. In business class on larger airplanes, you can get your feet on the tray tables.

I haven't seen the foot through the airplane seats yet, but that sounds disgusting! You usually have two people fighting over the middle armrests already. Absolutely not OK to add feet from the next row into the mix!!

It depends. I am black, 35 and slightly overweight. I pretty much NEVER do anything to draw attention to myself purposefully in public and try to do things to be unassuming, because it is just easier that way.

I have put a bare foot under my body in a library in college and once at a bar sofa on an uncrowded afternoon, and now I am freaking out that you people are out here judging me. My feet are way cleaner than my shoes! I wash them twice daily and then they go in shoes and/or socks. They are cleaner than most people's hands I would guess!

Not in "most" of the world and certainly not here.

If you are doing so, it is a clear cut case of cultural appropriation. Now stop it!

(Seriously, WTH? People do this?)

I've never seen younger people do anything like this, thank God, but bare feet on an airplane do bother me. BUT, that is definitely a behavior that cuts cross all age groups, and it's gross no matter how old you are.

This. We once hosted a holiday get together that included my SIL's MIL, who was decidedly not a millennial. We are no shoes generally, though for parties people can do what they like (about half take off their shoes, I've found). But her MIL did something I haven't seen before or since; she kept putting her bare feet on our coffee table where we were also had some snacks laid out. It was completely disgusting.

Yup. Saw a woman in her 50s at Wegman's a few weeks ago sitting in the lounge, knitting with her bare feet up on the table. Gross.
