Is this an ok thing to do on plane?

Would you put on nail varnish whilst on a flight?

Woman did today on the 4 hr flight I was on, and it absolutely stank! I could feel my asthma coming on. DH who was on the other side of the plane said it was really bad from where he was sitting too.

Maybe it's just me .... Although I have never noticed anyone ever doing this before.

It is strangely mesmerising watchig people put their make up on the train. I always sneakily watch (and catch people watching me when I do mine).

I was very impressed by a young girl who put false eyelashes on on the central line. I wouldn't be that ambitious. I do the flicky eyeliner. I use the train window as a mirror, works very well. (in my defence this is just gone 6 in the morning, at the start of the line in a very empty carriage Grin)

Yes bedmonster in my world people would be fined for public nose blowing. I can't stand that noise when people honk into a hanky (AND THEN LOOK AT THE REMNANTS).

I said on a sniffing thread that I find the sound of nose blowing worse than the sound of sniffing.

I have an uncle who whenever we sit to eat a meal puts pepper on his food and then that causes him to sneeze and then he blows what's must be a weeks worth of snot out of his nose, every fecking time at the food table, makes me heave!

GetOrfAKAMrsUsainBolt · 03/11/2012 11:47

It is!

I can cope with dry sniffs (wet ones not so much) but really heavy, snot depositing nose blowing revoltingness - do that in private.

And can we ban throat clearing too? Ta.

Apparently there's formaldehyde in nail varnish and that's what causes the irritation to people's lungs.

That's the stuff they used when embalming dead bodies.

sorry - bit random there. Just found that interesting!

I think it is totally fine but according to MN I must sound half of my life pissing people off Wink

Sparklingbrook · 03/11/2012 14:48

We need a definitive guide really valium. Grin

I wouldn't do it. I don't mind the smell of nail varnish but it is quite strong so not fair in an enclosed space.

Could we add to the aeroplane rules 'not tilting your seat back on short haul flights'.

Bunbaker · 03/11/2012 16:37

Yes, yes, yes Justfloatingby. That's one of the reasons OH likes flying Ryanair because the seats don't recline. He has very long legs and can't sit comfortably when the passenger in front reclines their seat.

SaraBellumHertz · 03/11/2012 16:38

I've seen this done a couple of times and the stewardess has always stopped the painter.

TessCowDirect · 03/11/2012 16:44

Could we add "not embalming a dead body" to the plane rules, please.

simplesusan · 03/11/2012 17:36

It wouldn't bother me at all.
I hate seat recliners though! Oh and seat kickers, especially when accompanied by parents who don't seem to give a toss.

SpottyMcSpot · 03/11/2012 17:40

That's such a rude thing to do, and totally unnecessary. I don't get who would do that.

YANBU.
