Might be pushing 230 with the food and drink I've had lately.

If I were European, I'd hate to have to fly an American airline.
Much more likely to be seated next to an American fatty than a slimmer Euro.

Strangely enough, you're within ideal weight. I figured for your height, 190 would be super thin.

I sat next to a big woman who had to hover over the seat and just drop down in between the arm rests of the middle seat. The rest squeezed out where it could. She got up to go to the bathroom, which required her to raise the arm rest, and I didn't think to put it back down while she was away. She came back, I got up to let her back in, and she left the thing up. It was only a short flight but I spent the rest of the flight with her leg 20% into my seat and sweating against mine.

The passenger is not likely an athlete and probably is fat. But, if he has a stocky frame, he isn’t the obese picture some may have in their mind.....picture John Goodman.

Fat? Yes. Walmart trike rider? No.

Hey, it's a roll of the dice.

Sometimes you win and get a pretty hot woman; sometimes you lose and get a fatty.

You shouldn't sue just because you lost.

He probably got the soft tissue damage banging a ladyboy in Bangkok.

There should be more penalties for people who dont give a shite about their body and weigh 500 lbs. And it can start with quit giving them scooters and handicapped signs to skip all the lines at Disney.


Now that we are financially responsible for insurance for some of these people (thanks Obama), we have an interest in their health and how they treat their bodies.

No, I'm skinnyfat. Around 190 or so is when I start showing a little pooch in my stomach. To me it very clearly becomes less than my ideal body shape.

I would look like a mountain of shite at 225 or so.

I agree with him!! We as a country should fat shame more!


This needs to come back.

I have this same issue at sporting events. If you are too fat to fit within the confines of a single seat you should have to buy 2.

I had a seat in the back a few years ago...an aisle seat. A rather large gentleman of culcha walked back and pointed at the seat next to me. I just let him know that wasn’t going to work. He agreed and walked back to the front. I assume he found someone smaller than me to overflow onto.

You should absolutely. Have to fit between two poles at the gate just like the carry on baggage test. If you need two seats, buy two seats. I don’t even know how the logistics of that would work. Two tickets, same ID? Who knows.....this is why I have my own plane.
