Why do people think it’s cool to put their filthy shoes on couches, chairs and also, seats in buses??? The soles of your shoes are covered in all the filth that’s on the street and then you go and put them where people have to sit. What is wrong with you? That goes for parents who let their kids stand on the bus seats too. I know it’s really tough for a lot of you, but try to have a little regard for other people and keep your feet on the floor where they belong. If they were meant to be on the seat they would be attached to your ass. —Fed up

Because they come from folks who have no couth. I suggest you strongly admonish them, publicly. Remind them just of their disgusting actions-inactions. Admonish them loudly so all those around can hear you; they too will benefit from the lesson. Oh, and call them pigs.
Consider yourself lucky that people aren’t putting their dirty feet in your mouth.
A COMPLEX BITCH
“If they were meant to be on the seat they would be attached to your ass.”
This is a complex bitch. What is the subtext? The subtext obviously invokes the principle of a narrow anatomical utilitarianism. What does that mean? It means that each part of the anatomy has a prescribed, specific use. While this might be true in most cases, i.e., the genitals, it is not obvious in the case of appendages such as the hands and feet which have multiple uses. (In the case of the feet one thinks of things like walking, trotting, ballet, squashing grapes, and so on.)
To prescribe such narrow utilitarian applications can therefore lead, as it has done in the present case, to anatomical confusion, i.e., one’s feet attached to one’s ass. Does this mean that one’s hands are to be attached to one’s legs? If that were so how would one engage in feats of auto-eroticism, to say nothing of regular heterosexual foreplay? The imagination falters. Clearly, the principle of a narrow anatomical utilitarianism needs reconsideration, perhaps even abandonment.
A pleasure as always,
Cheerio!
Phhht. A little dirt is good for the immune system.
Because they do not give a royal flying fuck and they are probably sitting in someone else’s shoe crud.
