A woman was unrepentant after she was caught in central China cleaning her feet in a drinking fountain at a subway station, a newspaper reported.
The article is the latest in long-running series of reports in the press and social media in China focusing on the rude or “uncivilised” behaviour of some sections of the public.
The woman was caught washing her feet in the drinking fountain in Wuhan in Hubei province, the Wuhan Evening News reported.
Other passengers tried to persuade her to stop, but she refused saying the water was undrinkable anyway because it had high levels of bacteria in it.
She then wiped her foot with a tissue, threw it on the ground and got on to a train with her child, the report said.
State-run media have railed against the rude behaviour of some citizens in recent years and have appealed for greater courtesy and respect for others.
The subway station incident echoes a report about a young couple in Wuhan who were spotted in March taking a shower in a public fountain.
They left after a group of security guards were summoned to the scene.
