My disdain for fat people hit an all-time high this weekend

I know most OT'ers get annoyed by the average fat person but what I witnessed this past Saturday took everything to a new level.

On Saturday night the GF and I took in our usual weekend fix of Braves baseball. The game was a sellout and our seats were at the top of our section with nobody next to us for the first 2 innings, which was pleasant. That all changed when big LaTisha (that was her actual name, before I get PM'ed or banned) and her husband and three kids strolled up.

LaTisha was easily pushing 250+. Instead of courteously sitting between her kids so that she wasn't bumping into me every time she reached for her phone or whatnot, she plopped down in the seat right next to me. Keep in mind that the park was sold out, and the attendants were pretty strict, so we couldn't move seats.

In the middle of the 3rd inning, she gets up and annoyingly makes us stand up for her to waddle through to the exit aisle. She comes back a few minutes later with a large bag of popcorn. I thought, maybe at least she'll share it with her kids. Nope, she ate the whole damn thing herself while annoyingly crunching in my right ear.

Top of the 4th - she gets up again. Grabs a hotdog. Eats it before Dallas Kuechel even registers an out (and he pitched really well Saturday). Gets up yet again to grab a bottle of Coke and then finally settles for the next inning or so.

By this point, the GF and I are making bets as to what she gets up to grab next.

Bottom of the 5th - bag of peanuts. Eats the entire thing herself and gets the damn shells all over my shoes.

Bottom of the 6th - beer.

7th inning stretch - ice cream.

Top of the 9th - the King of Pops guy comes through the section. GF and I instantly look at each other. Sure enough, she hollers at him and gets one.

Finally, the concessions shut down after the game entered extra innings, so she was essentially cut off.

Keep in mind that she shared none of her pickings with her kids.


I understand somewhat if people have genetically predisposed conditions or thyroid disorders or whatnot that cause them to gain weight. I also get it if you own up to your poor diet and are actively trying to lose weight. But I have no sympathy or regard for people who consciously choose to put garbage in their bodies, then wonder why they have cardiac issues, can't fit into airplane seats, or why they aren't taken seriously by those who take care of their bodies. People like this lady are a huge reason why the costs of healthcare in this country are out of control.

TLDR: went to Braves game, was forced to sit next to obese lady who ate through probably $100 worth of concessions.
