Southwest tells mother & daughter they are too fat to fly

seriously

tell them they need two tickets or make them pay like 1.5x normal fare for two seats to accommodate their girth

is that wrong?

shit you can take it farther and make them produce medical forms for a discount, if their weight is the result of a disability or medication side effect. If you just been staying late at the buffet all year long, you deserve no discount.

 

Where the fuck in the sentence "YO YOURE TOO FAT TO FLY" do you find PC??

And "two" at that?

 

A-gain, no one told this chick to BUY two seats when she got on. She was on a LAY-OVER

 

Or the people who smell. Buy three seats thanks.

I'm sure certain mf's on here would make a woman with a crying baby jump because the noise in their ear was infringing their 'peace'.

 

Wait, don't kids go into pet carriers and travel with the luggage?

 

And another one who doesn't get sarcasm lol

 

Awwwwww shit i think i'm gonna cry. Dumbass.

 

:smt018

 

OMG Yes! That's just as bad as sitting next to a massively fat person. I had to put up with that on a long haul flight once. One of the worst flights ever.

Sometimes I think we (everyone, me included) need to just get over it. It being everything. :smt043

 

Exactly. We bash fat/overweight/obese people because their size is an inconvenience to everyone, but there are lots of types of people and lots of things that get on our nerves. We're just always looking for the next person to aim our rage at...and it gets old.

 

Very true, and I'm as guilty of this as anyone. I think it's just part of being human, which is kinda sad when you think about it.

 

I'm going to say this last thing and leave this topic alone. Again we go to the bashing accusations. If someone said that a smoker was disgusting or killing themselves would that be bashing or fact? People with medical conditions withstanding obesity is a real problem. It's not like making fun of someones haircut. Over 100 million people are obese not a little pudgy but down right unhealthy diabetic, heart diseased obese. So before people dismiss the epidemic maybe it should be looked at as just that an epidemic.

 

And I'm gonna say this again..

None of your fucking business, bro.

If I walk down the street with a chili dog in one hand and a Pepsi in the other- NYFB.

If I decide to dye my hair purple - NYFB.

If I decide to wear Eau de Fuckwater all day, every day as I go about my business, guess what? It's NYFB.

And in the same vein, if my big ass sits next to you on a plane, and you get all huffy about it...think twice about the cologne you're wearing, the food you ate, if you breath stinks, and if you're broad shouldered...before you think about making a comment about my size sitting next to you. I won't bother you if you don't bother me...WHY?...NYFB.

Why is this such a goddamn difficult concept to grasp?! Sitting next to a big, linebacker sized man on a plane is NO different than sitting next to a smoker, or someone who's obese, etc. It's just now this fake PC 'oh we care about the unhealthy peoplez' bullshit that comes out when we talk about obesity so it makes it suddenly 'OK' to bash a fat person- how about getting that linebacker ass dude to buy a row for himself? Course we wouldn't do that would we- it's just the obese people, because, well, they're not as pretty, but we don't want to say that, so instead we cite 'health reasons'. Shut up, sit down and have a Coke and a smile. Enjoy your flight. Exits at the front, rear, and wings of the plane.

Peace.

 

Fat white women
Obese white women
Gross white women
Out of shape WW
A disgusting pig looking WW
A fat ogre WW

These topics never seem to get old around here. Damn, some y'al sound as if you were bullied and tortured by fat WW growing up or planning to be Deputy Health Minster and be a side kick to Michelle Obama and her crap about fighting obesity, lol.

I never dated an over weight woman and prolly never will but damn, live and let live playas.

 

mothafucka please

 

Petty, that wasn't my point.

My point is this right here...



That's me. I'm considered clinically obese. I get it. I don't eat chili dogs or drink regular pop either, but my business is my business. I fit into a seat, but someone could easily try to single me out.

I don't disagree that if you take up more than two seats, you should purchase the second, but there's this grey area of what people consider 'fat' that makes it get ugly, and it's easy to insult someone who's overweight.

Edited to add: This board only goes from one extreme to the other, and that's where the frustration lies....however, bashing someone under the guise of 'Oh, it's unhealthy for you.' is still bashing someone. You can be a skinny smoker and still be worshiped, but if you're a fat marathoner, it's over for you (I know this for a fact, because I was the fat half-marathoner!).

And BTW, petty. Go to the random conversation thread. I posted something there for you totally unrelated to all of this. lol

 

DB _ I wanna say this: I think you are beautiful! And you don't belong in the discussion of seats on an airplane for gods sake....

But I say this - as a frequent flyer - if someone takes up half my seat (which happens more than I care to count) - then, by gods grace, why am I not paying half the price?????? I fucks up my travel - and my health - and I cant say how many times I had to go get chiropractor or massage services because of that.
Not only did I pay 1/3 of this other persons ticket - I had to pay extra money - out of my own pocket- to get right after a business flight due to someone taking half my seat. Is that fair? Hell to the no! Its unfair and it annoys me to no end.
Why am I paying 1/3 for this persons flight AND for chiropractic/massage treatment to get right??? I cant charge my company saying an obese person fucked my spine up. And why should they pay for it anyhow???


Same is true for stinky people, I was on a flight w this dude that was one row behind me from Philly to LA a few weeks ago and I swear to God, everyone on his row must have been dying - I was gagging every time he moved and I was one row in front of him.
He should have been escorted off the plane!!! gaaaggghhhhh!!! I still am in mental torture state - and I fly a LOT!!!!

 

The "I swear to God" bit cracked me up...thot it was only Nigerians that used it ...

Hmmm ...it seems the well proportioned bodied masses are protesting about obese people now ....maybe it is time they pulled their weight not just physically but financially too.

 

Wow @ DB's pic. She's always been a cutie.
