i thought that was global..(for example if you're sitting with people..and you put one leg on top of the other..it's impolite to face your feet to them ..meaning the bottom of your shoes..it's somewhat disrespectful..as is putting one leg on top of the other infront of an older person..because it's also direspectful)
but that's nothing islamic or anything..and i don't know how it started but i thought it was worldwide..

what is the significance of reporting that? is what i mean..it's just some infobit or funfact or something of the sort..meh..
