Common sense would dictate that painting finger nails on an airplane is hazardous for 2 reasons. First, the odor is contained and everyone has to smell the odor of the fingernail paint for the duration of the flight. Some people won’t mind, others will mind, and some may be adversely affected in a confined space. Secondly, if there is some turbulance; the paint will spill and permanently damage the tray, seat or carpet. As a passenger, I don’t want to sit in a seat that is covered with wet, or dry fingernail polish.
So, it’s a fairly selfish and stupid thing to do. This is something that could be done elsewhere, that wouldn’t stink up a confined space and wouldn’t be on a moving platform.
What is the Flight Assistant supposed to do, when you politely ask someone to stop - and they essentially tell you to go #@$% yourself? If you allow it, you have no authority - so you have no choice but to escalate things.
Don’t tell me; let me guess...
Davis is NOT a Muslim, is she?
If she were, the Stewardess would have apologized for disturbing her and the airline would have paid out a $5 million settlement to CAIR. And she would have not only painted all her fingernails enroute, but have her toes all done prior to arrival as well.
You’re right-fingernail painting should only be done under safe circumstances, such as when the painter is driving in heavy traffic.
Flight attendants have a God-complex. They get their kicks arresting customers and/or throwing them off planes (who then get comped by the airline). I’ve seen it happen to others who may(!) have given the attendant a dirty look.
It happened to me once for complaining when I was thrown out of first class (which I’d paid for). After 15 years, I still remember the bitch’s name...
Not true. Else everyone would smother to death on a long flight due to CO2 buildup. Fresh air is continuously fed into airliners during flight, and at a fairly decent volume.
That being said, those around her would have been inconvenienced for the time it takes to flush out the odors.
So, it’s a fairly selfish and stupid thing to do.

Once upon a time, when girls were brought up with proper training in ladylike behavior, this woman would have learned at an early age that a lady does not perform her grooming tasks in public.
But, evidently, this woman is no lady.
