@didem5654 If the air on the plane was stuffy and warm, then you should keep your shoes on. No one wants to be sitting with your sweaty feet in a close, stuffy setting. If the air had been cool and freely moving, then your neighbor might have been ok with it

@babybeginner Lol They are already here in many NYC neighborhoods, and none of the above is happening. In fact, these areas are now cleaner than before. Do you think people don't use the spaces between cars as toilets?
