I would think that handling used barf bags is one of the flight attendants (many) unpleasant duties.

If he or she didn't take care of it right away, I'd raise a stink. (No pun intended.)</font>
I remember overhearing two Continental flight attendants speaking on a flight a few years ago. One of them said something to the effect of "a passenger just got sick and asked me to take his air sickness bag. Can you believe that? I told him that wasn't my job and he should just get up and drop it in the rest room trash."

At the time, I was pretty surprised at her unsympathetic/hostile attitude.
