    Bizarre. Simply bizarre.

    Ryanair said two men were detained in Tenerife, Spain, on March 16 after a brawl on a flight from Glasgow.In a statement to the Press Association, a spokeswoman for the airline said, "The crew of this flight from Glasgow Prestwick to Tenerife (March 16) requested police assistance upon arrival after two passengers became disruptive in-flight. The aircraft landed normally and police removed and detained two individuals. We will not tolerate unruly or disruptive behaviour at any time and the safety and comfort of our customers, crew and aircraft is our number one priority. A passenger, Ben Wardrop, recorded this footage of the incident. He told the Press Association the fight started over a woman not wearing her shoes on the flight going to the toilet. Wardrop said a very drunk man pulled her up about it, saying that someone would stand on her toes, then the woman's boyfriend stepped in and tried to defuse the situation. Warddrop's statement continued: Once the plane landed and more alcohol was consumed the man and the woman's boyfriend started arguing, both being very drunk they started to fight, and the man in the video with lots of blood was trying to get the man to calm down and he got hit on the nose. Wardrop said it was a very scary incident, but that one of the cabin crew, which was a young woman aged about 24, was caught in the middle of it all and was very scared, but done a good job on defusing the men fighting.

    I think bare feet have less to do with this than alcohol

    You are absolutely right. Way too much alcohol probably. I was just parroting the headline I saw.

    Sounds like some guy made an innocent comment and a jelous BF got upset somebody was speaking to his missus. No alcohol to blame here, just a stoogey jealous BF.

    I believe you all are misreading the situation...…. every person on the plane wanted to beat the barefooter and only the drunk guy had the balls enough to speak up about the disgusting habit of bare feet on an airplane that's f****** disgusting

    Obsessive-compulsive personality disorder (OCPD) is a personality disorder characterized by a general pattern of excessive concern with orderliness, perfectionism, attention to details, mental and interpersonal control, and a need for control over one's environment, which interferes with personal flexibility, openness to experience, and efficiency, as well as interfering with relationships.
    • a rigid adherence to rules and regulations
    • an overwhelming need for order
    • a sense of righteousness about the way things should be done

    I have noticed that usually the people who have a problem with others going barefoot have many of the traits of that disorder. When you call them out with stuff like what difference does it make to you if I am not wearing shoes they are my feet they can't answer. Doesn't matter what argument you make they just get stuck. You need to wear shoes because you need to, that's all that counts, critical thinking need not apply !

    You are right. It's all about control.

    No I totally get it. Same as I am an anti bare hander. We're both neurotic.

    Glasgow seems to be the origin of many drunk traveler news stories. They must be proud.

    I've given up on an ideology of barefoot. I'll go barefoot, like I do sometimes, but it's just me, I don't want to label it and I don't want to associate with other barefoot people anymore. I do like the the concept to a degree, but the whole steadfast attitude of like, if you don't go barefoot you're an idiot and its like a life and death situation for some folks if they have to wear shoes... Ugh... There's a ton of negativity surrounding this ideology and lifestyle of you ask me.

    Nudism seems the opposite and very friendly and inviting, even to outsiders. :)

    Irm there are zealots and idiots everywhere. Some are shod, some are bare. They also tend to be the most vocal. And you'll find them in just about every walk of life and on both sides of every issue you can think of. My philosophy is if it ain't bothering me have at it. If ya wanna go barefoot go barefoot, if not wear shoes. They are your feet do as you like with them. Don't let the nutcases form your opinion of the majority.

    I understand. :) I meant dissociation from the negative ones. For the record, I don't understand why there's so much negativity though.

    It reminds me of being heathen. Tons of people have a problem with it yet we just kinda mind our own business without much thought... Remain peaceful.

    But then again some us don't lol so you're right. It would be unrealistic of me to assume everybody as a collective whole should be the same. That's something I always argue against, just when it comes to the topic of barefeet, I don't know how there's negativity, it seems like such a placid lifestyle I don't get what's to hate on or about. Especially the at times ardent negativity against people who wear shoes.

    Just to me like, wear or don't wear what you want hey.

    Flipping out because you stepped in it is less neurotic than caring about what other people's feet are doing /wearing/etc.

    But no, I wasn't being 100% serious : ) I do think hands are more yuck, when you think about what people do with them, but calling us both neurotic was just a type of humor I use when I'd rather make something light hearted than debate it. Probably doesn't translate well in type.
