Ok I will admit I stick a lot in that magazine rack (though not in the barf bag) but I always clear it out when the attendants come by to collect trash!!!!!!!!
NO nose pickings mind you.
I did have to use that bag once.
We had just boarded, flying from Seattle to Miami and I had a Venti Coffee.
As the plane began to taxi out I realized that the base of my cup was leaking. The leak began to pick up speed and I realized that the cup was actually failing.
TWENTY ounces of coffee and the bottom was coming apart. Rang the bell but they can't get up during taxi and take off either.
So it ended up in the bag. Which I was terrified would leak.
It was a LONG 20 minutes before we hit altitude and the flight attendant could attend to me.
