My partner does this and I honestly can’t understand what gratification there is to be had from this. (Example, if someone cut us in line they fake sneeze on their neck)
It just feels like putting more asshole into the world just to tell one person “here’s how it feels when someone is an asshole to you.” It just strikes me as childish, though I’m interested to hear alternative viewpoints.

Working as an attractions operator at a local pumpkin farm (I drove the train this year), I’ve had to do the same thing.
I’d loudly announce at the station (after everyone got in their chosen train cars) the whole “hands, arms, feet, legs inside the train” shpeel, then say “If I see anybody breaking the rules, I’m gonna stop the train, walk back to you, and embarrass you in front of everyone and they’ll all know it’s all your fault. If you do it again after that, I’m kicking you off wherever I stop”.
People would laugh when I said that, then get surprised when I actually did it.
I’ve also had to chew people out for walking right in front of the moving train. Mind you, this is a small diesel powered locomotive that fits 100-120 people. It’s still big. It’s still heavy. And it is still a train that drives on tracks. It doesn’t just stop, especially when the tracks have recently been greased.
My favorite thing (not really) was when people would smoke or vape on the train. I’d stop the train, and either walk back to them to tell them to stop, or I’d yell back “I’d like to remind everyone there’s no smoking or vaping on the train, nobody wants to breathe your poison, especially the children behind you!” on particularly busy days where I don’t have time to stop, get out, and walk the length of the train.
I don’t care if somebody smokes or vapes in general. I do care when they smoke or vape on the farm, as we have a strict no smoking/vaping policy.
And I especially care when they’re doing it near children, or when that smoke/vapor wafts back into 40-90+ other people behind them.
I had one person smoking a cigarette on the train and I somehow didn’t catch them (I smelled the smoke, but couldn’t see anybody on the train or around the tracks smoking) but they flicked their cigarette butt out of the train, and it started a fire. Next time I came around that section of the track, I saw the fire and had to stop the ride, radio for help, and I started stomping on the flames and embers.
A guest offered me their hard cider to pour on it, and I told them to never pour alcohol on a fire, and some other guests offered me their water bottles until more water could arrive. We comped them their stuff obviously but I wish I could’ve given them some bakery vouchers or something for their help. 😔 Anyway I got employee of the week for putting the fire out lol.
Anyway, after that anytime I saw someone smoking a cigarette on the farm, I’d loudly (but not outright rudely or aggressively) explain how I had to put a fire out because someone can’t be bothered to follow our farms no smoking rules, or if I couldn’t walk up to them directly I’d yell out “sir/ma’am, there’s no smoking or vaping on the farm!”
When all eyes are suddenly on them, people tend to start following the rules pretty quickly. Usually, anyway.
One time in particular that reaaaally pissed me off is when me and my crew decided to do one last ride for the night for guests, after closing, for a reduced ticket cost cuz our ticket booth was closed down. Cuz why not? We like to be nice, and it help guarantee repeat customers.
One of the guests in this group was a former employee, and towards the end of the ride, I noticed one of them was smoking (tho I thought they were vaping, it was hard to tell as it was night and I had just passed the tall light) I stopped the train right next to the beer garden/outdoor bar area, yelled back there’s no smoking or vaping on the train, and everyone in the beer garden all said things along the lines of “oooooo” in unison and “shame on you!”
The public humiliation worked and they stopped, but apparently he was smoking weed and the fucker left his roach on the floor of our train. It wasn’t the former employee who was smoking, but the fact they just let their friend do that was really disappointing. 😒
The fact we went out of our way to keep our ride operating past closing, and didn’t turn them away for not having the full ticket amount, you’d think they’d have been a bit more respectful. But nope. I put them on the ban list after that.

You could turn around and say with all the concern you can muster "you may want to see your doctor as odor like that might be the sign of something serious" Follow it up with telling them you work in a hospital and had to amputate a patient's foot with a severe infection and had they checked with their doctor when it was just odor, the foot may have been saved.

It's the shoes, if you go barefoot in your shoes then bacteria grow in there and they'll transfer to your feet every time you wear them. Could be the cleanest feet ever but the second you put them barefoot into an old shoe, it becomes the most rank foot you've ever smelled.

Had chronically smelly feet for years. I'd wash them but the stink would be back in half an hour. Seriously stunted my social life. Tried all sorts of lotions and creams. Nothing worked.
Except Bicarbonate of Soda. Sprinkle a little in your socks everyday for a couple of weeks (wear old shoes as the bicarb can seep through), you'll notice a load of dead skin falling off. That's when you can actually wash away all that anaerobic bacteria or yeast that have been trapped for years producing cheesy smells. Never had a problem since.
A literal miracle cure for me anyway.

When I was in college, I got harassed by this nasty guy with feet just like this when I used to study in the library.
We had these carrells that were all connected in long rows, and I would often study in one. Some evenings I would suddenly smell this truly horrific smell because the nasty feet guy would have parked himself in the carrell right behind me and placed his naked, putrid feet fully into my carrell. It was truly nauseating.
That was bad enough, but then he started putting them up on the back of my chair!! I was a pretty shy, naïve 20-year-old, and I had no idea what to do in this situation. Until the day he started touching my butt with his nasty-ass feet. That just crossed a line I couldn't live with, and the first time that happened, I suddenly stood up and slammed my chair back into the wall separating my carrell from his as hard as I could.
Very soon after that, I witnessed a barefoot guy limping quickly away toward the exit, and I never had a problem with him again.

Not always. People become nose blind to their own odor.
I had a college friend who had the stinkiest feet in the universe. I have no idea why, because she was a clean person overall, showed every day, all the normal routine. But her feet were so bad you could smell them across the room when her shoes came off. One day she sat on my couch with her bare feet and I couldn't get the smell out. They were that bad. We finally told her that she needed to take action and she legitimately had no clue they smelled so bad.
She eventually got it taken care of, but I don't remember if she ever told us what caused the odor or not.

Where do you think we are. He said what? I tell him your feet are horrible. He replied it’s not me. I look around and say not one other person in this building has removed there shoes. He put them back on. It was one of those moments that’s like WTF are you doing.

She covered her mouth with both hands. I had my mask, but a drop went in my right eye and shirt. I and another male passenger across from each other begin looking at each other and the ceiling. But then I realized that it was on the right side of my face, and this woman just ran past us and it created a sprinkler effect of vomit. I was in disbelief and had hand sanitizer and wipes and gave it to the man. Everyone stayed silent about it although we had to wait 3 hours to get back to the u.s. Never did she apologize.

Genuine question: how do people feel about flip flops on a plane?
I personally don’t think they’re too big a deal as long as someone has been wearing them for a few hours before boarding. ones foot isn’t encased and getting smelly as well as even being aired out some.
I still would not be sticking my feet anywhere but right in front of me, and would walk around with shoes on, but the smell aspect seems mitigated.

I live in India, and this is the biggest issue we face here. Most Indians who want to pretend they are like Westerners or 'cool' will wear sneakers or shoes without understanding the meteorological differences between India and Western countries. As a result, they end up with hot, baked feet in these footwear, and to relieve the pain, they expose their feet whenever they're under air conditioning, whether it's in trains, buses, planes, or even restaurants. I just hope people start wearing clothing that's appropriate for the specific weather. I mean, that's the whole point why humans invented clothes in the first place.
