    "Girl next to me in the airplane just doused herself with perfume"

    I was settling into my aisle seat, stoked to have the middle seat completely empty for my transatlantic flight. Suddenly a girl shows up and asks the guy in the other aisle seat (I'm in the central set of seats) if he's traveling alone and if he'd mind switching seats with her. He agrees so she shows up with her boyfriend, goodbye middle seat

    Ok, I'm not entitled to an empty middle seat, so no big deal. But after she settles in, she pulls out a vial and spritz, spritz, spritz... and makes as if she's offering to spray her boyfriend... Incredulously I blurt out, "Is that perfume??"

    "Oh, sorry, sorry!" "We're in an airplane!!" "I'm so sorry, I didn't think!" All while waving her hand in order to waft the perfume as far and wide as possible

    So every time she shifts I'm enveloped in a sickly sweet cloud. And I'm sensitive to fragrance, so I'll be blowing my nose for the next 8 hours. Hopefully I miss out on the headache at least...

    Oh, and there's a pre-verbal toddler behind me continuously bumping my seat. It's going to be a fun ride

    Perniciosasque Ask for help from one of the flight attendants. You have two major things disturbing. you literally non-stop. Maybe, just maybe, there's an empty seat somewhere else. You shouldn't have to suffer through this while keeping your fingers crossed you won't get a headache...

    hywaytohell Man I don't even like walking by a candle store. Having someone spray perfume right next to me would have had me sneezing all over her.

    Ca... I once witnessed a guy who was prevented from carrying. a full can of anti-perspirant through security. Whether it was an act of defiance or a desire not to "waste" any, he then proceeded to spray the entire can over himself. Everyone was gagging and retching. It took days to get the taste of Lynx Africa out my mouth.

    Another good point!

    No_Welder_1043 In asthmatic, I would have the aeroplane staff involved so fast over this.

    machomateo123 Our first trip to Hawaii a lady did this deplaning I. Front of us and we ended up spending the first day in urgent care with my wife's asthma attack flaring up. Save it for the bathroom at the airport if you need to stop stinking for whoever is picking you up. Selfish inconsiderate people.

    ElPared Hope you ate a lot of beans, cuz she's about to learn a thing or two about sensory attacks

    Lunahooks Urgh I'd have been out of my seat so fast with an instant throbbing headache, looking for a flight attendant to help me get away from that cloud of chemicals that will hang around for the entire flight. She might have just been as oblivious as you describe, that doesn't mean you should spend your flight being punished for her airheadedness

    pedoffjesus As someone highly sensitive to scent this is absolutely not okay.
