Traveler sparks outrage for painting her nails on a flight, as hundreds view the act as selfish
A traveler has sparked a debate after she complained about a fellow passenger’s “justifiable and selfish” behavior on a flight.
The woman snapped a photo of a fellow passenger sitting in front of her painting her nails, causing the strong smell of the nail polish to fill the cabin.
While a small minority saw no problem with the woman using the three-hour flight to paint and dry her nails, most were outraged by the “rude” and “inconsiderate” behavior.
The flyer took out her frustrations online saying she was asked by other passengers to get rid of the nail polish, but she refused.
“The flight attendant asked her after four of us asked her to stop and she didn’t because by the time the flight attendant got involved she was doing the top coat,” she said in a Reddit. after.
An image of a woman painting her nails on a three-hour flight has sparked a heated debate with many decrying the ‘selfish’ and ‘inconsiderate’ behavior
She admitted she didn’t ask the woman to stop doing her nails jokingly, “I did the British thing and stared at the back of her head and clucked loudly until she finally put it away.”
Hundreds were shocked by the woman’s “dare” to give herself a manicure without thinking about the smell it would cause.
“It’s people like this that make me realize how overly thoughtful I am. My brain cannot comprehend this level of entitlement and selfishness,” one user wrote.
“RIP everyone’s nose,” another laughed, and a third said, “This is psychopathic behavior.”
“I literally would have snatched that up and thrown it in the toilet. I can’t stand that in a well-ventilated house,’ replied a fourth.
Others wondered how she got the substances through security.
“How is nail polish and nail polish remover allowed in a hand luggage??? Both are highly flammable and both give off ridiculous amounts of fumes,” one person asked.
In Australia, passengers on Virgin flights allow nail polish and nail polish remover to be carried in hand luggage, but use on board the aircraft is strictly prohibited.
Most airlines do not have an official policy on the use of nail polish.
Not everyone was convinced that the woman was wrong, and some didn’t even know that nail polish had a noxious smell.
Wait, why is this bad? I must be missing something. I can’t think what this would do to bother people,’ someone asked.
“I didn’t see the problem at first either, I love the smell of nail polish, I’m only now learning that most people don’t share my opinion,” replied a second.
“Personally, I still don’t see the problem, but I’m not particularly sensitive to chemical smells. Even ammonia isn’t that bad until it becomes mustard gas through mixtures. Ma says I’m just ‘nose blind,’ added a third.
Previously, frequent fliers have shared the most annoying habits and behaviors they’ve seen other passengers do, from reclining seats to kids playing video games with the volume turned up and from passengers trying to get out first to reading over someone’s shoulder.
A passenger revealed that people who steal the armrests annoy them the most. He said, ‘Had a man who kept falling asleep and would lean on my armrest, which would make my channels change non-stop’
The discussion started on Reddit when a user posed the question, “What’s something people do on airplane flights that really annoys you?”
And the lack of space in an airplane cabin was a common complaint in the thread, with “spookyfey” saying that having someone steal your armrest is particularly annoying.
They explained, “Some people put their elbows on my armrest with my television controls.
“I had a guy who kept falling asleep and leaning on my armrest, making me switch channels non-stop.
“He kept pointing it out, he kept apologizing, and he kept doing the same thing.”
Meanwhile, tall passengers like ‘Indomitable _Dan’ say they struggle with the small seats.
He wrote, “I may be the a****** in this situation, but people who sit back… f*** you!
‘I’m tall and to sleep I usually have to lean forward and sleep with my pillow on my knees.
“If you lean back, I can’t really change my position in my chair other than upright.”
“Hopebirmingham” agreed: “They know damn well they’re taking up someone’s twelve inches of space.”
Noise is another complaint.
Reddit user ‘Goddamnstupid’ wrote: ‘People who let their kids play video games with the volume turned up.
“We’re all stuck here, no one wants to listen to a repetitive tune for hours on end. Headphones on or volume off!’
While large groups of passengers traveling together is something that annoys ‘sp00ked_yuh’.
They wrote, “Groups of people who are rowdy because their group is with them.
“Like yeah, it’s fun and exciting and everything, but settle down after a while… we don’t need it all the way through the flight at 100.”
A passenger revealed that people who don’t understand the touchscreen TVs are the most annoying, especially when they press too hard on them
The seatback TVs prove to be an annoyance to “turkeypants,” who revealed that their most annoying flight was with a lady who “didn’t understand how touch screens work.”
They explained, “She pressed the screen on the back of my chair with her forceful finger over and over to explore the thing’s menu. Boomp… boomp… boomp… Hey, you know I’m on the other side of this thing, right, lady?”
And ‘RegularArms’ added, ‘Also that bastard behind you pulls himself up with your chair every 20 f****** minutes.’
For ‘CHLDM’, the most annoying thing comes at the end of the flight – people trying to leave first despite not being anywhere near the exit.
A former flight attendant explained that the most annoying thing for her was seeing parents changing diapers on tray tables
They added: ‘They just end up pushing past everyone else and coming out three minutes earlier than they normally would at the most. Be a decent person and wait your turn like everyone else.’
The complaints continued quickly.
‘Lotusliving1’ wrote: ‘On an earlier flight, the man next to me started reading my magazine with me and commenting on everything.
“I just wanted to read quietly, but I have my own personal narrator.”
While ’empyreanhaze’ added, ‘Those who operate a laptop or iPad at 100 percent brightness in a dark plane. It hurts my eyes from three rows away, how can they do that??’
And ‘offbrand soap’ said: ‘People who cough/sneeze and don’t cover up. F****** monsters.’
Unusual smells are another annoyance.
‘Drmti’ said, ‘They take off their shoes and show off their smelly feet.’
While ‘Slagathor’ added: ‘Ex-flight attendant here: passengers using tray tables as changing mats and changing their children’s dirty nappies mid-flight. (And yes, all the toilets were free at this point in the flight, they just couldn’t be bothered to get up).’
The simple clapping when the plane lands annoys ‘VincentStonecliff’ the most.
Whereas for ‘Phaedrug’ the one thing people do on airplane flights that annoys him immensely is ‘exist’.
