Put your ‘feet up’. The problems with putting your feet on your coffee table

Why is it people have problems with putting your feet on your coffee table? Well there are a few
reasons and it is worth considering this before going a bit too far to relax!
The first is practical­ if you have a glass coffee table and you are a bit too enthusiastic putting your
feet up you could accidentally smash it, wrecking an expensive table and hurting your feet in the
process, none of which are big advantages!
Another concern is hygiene, especially with bare feet­ if you are serving food or drink it is
generally not considered hygienic to put your feet on the surface where you receive your
refreshments.
Finally the simple fact is that it is generally not considered very polite­ the idea when serving a
drink is to sit properly and show you are engaging with what people are saying. While you may
want to put your feet on the coffee table when you are on your own, generally speaking it is best to
get into good habits and stay sat up when enjoying your drinks. While it is important to relax you
shouldn’t be rude while doing so!
