Nails in Flight
 

In fc today from FLL to Atl.

Lady sitting across from me whips out nail polish and remover and starts giving herself a mani....the smell was unbelievable! All the the fc cabin were complaining. After beging asked a few times to stop, she just continued.
FA was asked to step in, but walked away without saying anything to her.

Finally, all fingers were painted and she stopped!

Just wondering what others would do if she refused to stop...and also seems like releasing such a toxic smell should be banned ..guess its not currently..

maybe you could aim a fart at her,

FA was wrong and you need to send a formal notice to Delta. They can, and do, stop the self important from doing their nails on the plane.

Option two. Person next to her should hit turbulence and knock the stuff all over her. Scent won't go away, but she will have a scarlet letter to show how stupid she was

Seems like the norm these days is just to do whatever the heck you want on a plane and the heck with everybody else. :td:

If someone had an allergic reaction, as might happen with peanuts, then maybe the FA might have done something.

Would not have played out this way on Southwest:

How about clipping toe nails?

Because WN doesn't have F? :p

Seriously, though, I'm curious as to what WN FA's side of this story is, as from what the woman is saying, it sound like the FA had followed her to the lav and was waiting to fight with her when she exited. I find that somewhat hard to believe.

Of course, still kudos to that FA for doing more than what the OP's FA did.

I only do this when in F and have the room to put my foot up on the headrest in front of me, where I can easily reach. :D

Not even close to the same ballpark of painting nails/toes.

Yet both are still inappropriate on a plane, whether in F, J, Y, or the lav...common courtesy, people.

I experienced a similar lack of courtesy last Wednesday afternoon while flying AMS-JFK in KLM World Business Class. Nobody complained to the offending manicurist, but others in the immediate vicinity definitely noticed the wretched smell.

I'm probably a minority, but painting nails is much worse IMO. Me and my buddy Jack D. have found a way to ignore the sound of clipping. I can't ignore toxic fumes.

Is barfing on stupid people an allergic reaction (if caused by toxic fumes, of course)?

:D

Spitting tobacco?

Tacky
 

It's times like this I ask myself, What would Julia Sugarbaker do?

Nail polsh is not "toxic fumes" seriously, a bit dramatic? Men an shave, spit tobacco, put feet on bulkhead/overhead, snore, drool, pass burp, but 5 minutes of nail polish is offensive?

I love the smell.
