Drip drop!
I was on a Delta flight from Jacksonville Florida to Detroit Michigan on 9/8/2010 returning from a work trip. I boarded the plane on time, and the flight was completely full. There was only 1 flight attendant for that many people, which I really do not understand. Her name was Betsy. She was older, and looked frantic trying to get things ready. Before we were even on the runway, I felt something splash the back of my neck. I thought it might have been the woman behind me, and I didn't want to be rude and turn around. It quickly happened again, and this time I turned around to find that the overhead light strip above my seat was dripping water (I hope). I was not only splashing me, but both of the people behind me because it was hitting the top of the leather seat. The woman behind me pressed the call button, and it took about 10 minutes for the attendant to actually answer. When the attendant came, the woman said "There is something dripping from here and I'm not sure what it is, and we're getting wet. Can we have a paper towel or something?". The attended didn't only not answer, she actually gave a dirty look, and didn't even look at where the water was coming from. A few minutes later she came back with 2 paper towels, and I then had to stuff them into the crack. Not very safe I'd say because the light strip was right there. The whole flight, the paper towel was hanging down from the crack. I was very disappointed because I don't fly often, and had a bad experience. I will consider taking another airline next time.
