Laws, and terms and conditions have nothing to do with it.
My point was that putting your feet on the bulkhead wall/pocket is not against the law and may or may not be allowed by the airline FAs, but there is another set of rules that distinguish us from the rest of the animal kingdom. .
The fact is, you think your opinion is more valid than anyone else's - there are several people who have said they think it's perfectly acceptable behaviour - and now you're stooping to insults (ignorant and ignoble, really?) rather than explaining just how someone putting their feet up on a surface you are neither going to eat off nor sit on affects you even slightly, and therefore how it's any of your business.
Based on this, I'm wondering how you deal with queues ... none of my business I suppose.
I'm guessing that's because as it patently isn't any of your business, and it's pretty hard to justify with anything approaching logic why you should be the ultimate arbiter of manners and etiquette, you've decided it's all too hard and are ignoring that all too salient point.
Society as a whole are the arbiters of manners and etiquette, and it does differ from country to country and even suburb to suburb. Sometimes these "norms" of behaviour are translated into laws (putting feet on seats on trains for example), and sometimes they form T&Cs (conform to directions from crew) and sometimes they are self-policed by society itself (e.g. - queues, dress standards, etc.).
But I take your point that people are different and I will check the safety card for excrement and tinea next time I am seated at the bulkhead.
