That's why I stopped flying; I know I can't sit in the fucking seats, I'd be uncomfortable, the person sitting next to me would be, it would be a lose lose suitation.

I know that Thomas. The knees crushed on the seat in front of you, the head rest protruding below the shoulders...
But when the crew ask "are you comfortable", I don't refrain !

that was a really unfortunate concurrence of my words wasn't it?

ahem
the "good times" was me on a plane talking to someone.

and i either don't recall why, or was not thinking at all when i said the line about at least in that instance.

anyway you already read it so if it was funny, good.

I don't even know where to start. I was always taught that it isn't nice to laugh at the misfortunes of others. My mother would be so ashamed.

If they had been flying on Southwest, the obese woman would have had to pay for two seats. Sounds like this one needed them both, too. Other airlines have a policy that if you can't leave the arm rests down, or ask for a seat belt extension, you are using two seats and therefore, you pay for two seats.

I would NEVER allow someone sitting next to me to harm me like that, though. I'm afraid I'd pitch a fit first, and the plane would never have left the ground.

I'm a phat man, and I don't think I should have to pay extra because I'm so phat.

I mean, having this much style hurts.

It hurts.

Oh wait, y'all are talking about fat people. Forget I spoke.

Thats just sad. Whats worse, is the vote on the page. Over 32,000 people thing if they have to have an extra seat, the airline should pay for it. Why, because they didnt make the seats big enough to fit someone as big as they are? Its obsurd! Im sorry, but if it was me, I would have said, "I cannot sit with this woman, as I only have a few inches of room. Either get me another flight or refund my ticket." As it is they had to pay out money for pain and suffering. I dont know..it just irritates me. As someone who used to be over 300lbs and now weighs 115lbs, I find it dreadfully sad that anyone would make someone else suffer because of their extreme size.

too... many... jokes... can't... think...

being small means never having to say i'm sorry
at least in that sort of instance

hrmmm

good times

See, I may be a big guy and all but I revere the seat partition as if it were a golden icon. I also fold my broad shoulders in, akin to someone hugging themselves. I usually get asked, "Are you comfortable?" I refrain from the obvious answer of, "Does it fucking look like I'm comfortable? I'm doing this to keep the rest of the god-damn world from pissing and moaning about how it can't go about it's scrawny 5'6" average way without having to be in contact with people like me!!!", and smile politely and say, "I'm used to this position, I can't avoid it.", then shrug what little shoulder muscle hasn't been hyper-extended in an effort to show what a nice pussified non-cookie cutter clone I am.

That being said, in the same situation, I wouldn't have suggested that the nice fragile lady sit on my lap throughout the flight.
