personal hygiene

Where is at these days? Specifically, where is it at with people who fly on planes?Based on my recent experiences, apparently no one else knows either.

Flying from Cleveland to Memphis, I was on a plane with 2x2 seating. The 2 guys on my left had been drinking. And, the guy sitting beside me had been drinking and smoking. It was freakin' disgusting. There should be a way to clense smokers before they get on a flight. You know. Some sort of mandatory shower or something.

Their buddy behind me had also been drinking. That made for a fun flight. Listening to these 30+ year olds talking like a bunch of middle schoolers at some of the women on the plane that were easy on the eyes. Not to mention the stupid remarks made during the flight attendant safety demonstration... which I will admit is hokey. Look, if there is a problem with your plane at 28,000 feet, and it's going down, no seat belt, oxygen mask, or floating cushion is going to help you. So what's the point? Really.

Flying from Memphis to Huntsville, I was again on a plane with 2x2 seating. As luck would have it, the guy sitting beside me smelled like a rotten grapefruit with some salty seawater. A little later I learned that was actually more of a smell eminating from his mouth, as he fell asleep and snored on the flight. (Fortunately it was only a 26 minute flight!) By the time we landed I'm sure I was green because it was quite rank.

I probably should have moved. I can see it now, "Excuse me mrs. flight attendant, I need to move because this guy smells like a rotten grapefruit."

Seriously people, take a shower, use deoderant and brush your teeth and use listerine or scope before you fly. It's really not too much to ask.
