20 minutes before landing into LA and we have quite a line for the back lav. Why such a line? Well some chick filled one of the lav sinks with vomit, so it was blocked off. (she never said anything, so lucky me found the big fat mess) Down to one lav with a full plane makes for a long line. Anyhow, I was sitting there reading and I sometimes try to make conversation with the people since they are there and I am there sitting between the two lavs....
I notice this woman that I am talking to has a pack of smokes in her pocket and she SMELLS SO BAD LIKE CIGS. I just think that she must smoke so much it is coming out of her pores. She goes in the bathroom and I get up and do some stuff around the galley. She comes out and walks down the aisle.
ding. ding. DING...
Gee that person is hitting their light a lot, let me go over and see what the deal is.
She tells me that she smells smoke. She is worried that we are going down (she doesn't say that I just see it in her eyes)
I tell her that it could be that woman, she smells like smoke. She informs me that there is smoke, and she smells it and it IS NOT on a person.
I go back to the lav and sure the hell enough, she smoked a marlboro in there. I know because
A. it was still smokey in there
B. I found the butte in the trash... IN THE TRASH. The moron put it in the trash with paper towels and could have set the entire plane on fire.
In case you do not know, it is illegal to smoke on an airplane. Doing so comes along with a 10,000 dollar fine. The police met her when we landed. She denied it the entire time, saying it could not be her. The reason?? She uses nicorette. The cops interviewed me and I gave them the butte and told them to check out the pack of smokes in her pocket.
I am still in shock she did that.
