Too fat to fly

[911 Rod]

Make the gate onto the plane the same size as the space between the seat armrests.
If you can get through it, welcome aboard.
And yes you can take a run at it to see if you can squeeze through. Be fun to watch.

I've met people who spent thousands lowering their cars and all they really needed was the right girlfriend ;-)

What's the worst part of sitting in the middle seat between two obese people?

When they don't wear long sleeve shirts and the sweat just hangs on their arms.

...and if they have to turn sideways to squeeze through the opening, that's how they need to sit in their seat, on their side, for the duration of the flight!

It's worth when they can't clean the folds and crevices in their fat rolls and the smell of fungus, yeast it's just like a dirty gym or hockey equipment .

Disgusting

I’ve been a 100k a year flyer and as a smalller gent, I’ve been taken advantage of by the gravitationally challenged.

However recently I sat on a 2+2 plane with a large woman who did everything she could to be pleasant and not encroach on my personal space. I wish I could have told her how much I appreciated that without embarrassing her.

You could have fallen back on the old Gomer Pyle line, "You know, for a fat girl, you sure don't sweat much!"

Or not.

Sick world we live in when "that" qualifies to have the title of "model" attributed to her. Sorry, I get that some people are naturally obese, but MOST of the ones I have come across are in the state they are due to poor life choices, both diet- and activity based. Sad thing is that those of us who actually try are taxed by their choices, as we are the ones that have to carry less luggage, be cramped in our seats, but more widely also expensive healthcare etc.

In case of an evacuation being required, she will be a major cause of injuries to others, and even fatalities, as she is nothing but a moving roadblock.
