FA moves 'chatty' pass. to sit beside me
First; I am not complaining. I'm just saying!
FL1586 LAX-YYZ yesterday. I was sitting in business and moved to a row behind me so a family with baby could stretch out. Meal service happened, then I tried to go to sleep.
Shortly after I was poked and awaken by a lady sitting besdie me; in what was an empty seat. Yes, the passenger woke me up.
Apparently some other lady in coach was painting her nails - and this lady was alergic to the smell. An FA moved her up into business class. For the final 2 hours of the flight - she talked to me non-stop. It was annoying. I tried to give an indication I wanted to sleep - but she seem more interested in chatting. The #1 on the flight apologized profusely to me. Oh well. Just sharring.

Good point. Besides, I would think that the smell would have bothered more than just pax who was moved. All in all, it was very inconsiderate of the nail painter.

"It's been nice chatting with you. I'r somewhat tired, so I think I'll try to get some shut-eye now."

"It's been nice chatting with you. Plese don't take this personally, but I'm not in a chatty mood right now, and just need some quiet time to myself. Thanks!"

NO offense intended, but I think it's a necessary survival skill these days.

About 2-3 years ago I was in coach (I don't think it was AA), and a teenager across from me asked the FA if she could paint her nails during the flight. The FA said something like "Yes you can, but I don't think the other passengers on this plane would be happy with you if you did". I was happy that she chose not to paint her nails.

If a bottle of nail polish happens to make it through security, under no circumstances should it be opened on the plane.
