- b9gh47q, on 04/19/2009, -8/+639I guess this makes sense. If I were too big to comfortably fit in a regular seat, I wouldn't be opposed to paying for a second one. Reality sucks sometimes but you've got to accept it.
- WordsnCollision, on 04/19/2009, -47/+579Why do obese people demand to be treated the same as "average" people when clearly they are different. Being fat is a conscious choice and there ARE consequences. Don't like it, don't eat so damned much.
- teamr, on 04/19/2009, -21/+468They should also let two skinny people share a single seat....
- carbonfilament, on 04/19/2009, -8/+392about time.
Not long ago a passenger walked past me on a plane and the floor literally flexed when he walked by, I as horrified, and for the first time started thinking about weight distribution on jets. The crew had to move around people until they had three seats open for him, so he could sit in the middle one and take up half of the seat on either side of him. - Oddish, on 04/19/2009, -6/+273If you're fat enough to encroach on the seat next to yours, it seems reasonable.
- twistedfish, on 04/19/2009, -9/+249Why stop there. Lets just skip the extra bag fees and price the airline ticket by the total weight. Walk up to the airline counter and step on a scale with your bags. Passenger weight + Bags weight = ticket price / kg.
- adarkmethod, on 04/19/2009, -7/+243as a fat ass, I say its about time
- nudedos, on 04/19/2009, -6/+233I once sat on a plane next to an obese man. The crew moved the woman between us to another area and he occupied the outside seat and middle seat. I tried to remain patient about the trip but I was being pressed against the glass for about half the ride till I politely asked to be moved. The man only paid for one seat but ended up with three.
- FreakyT, on 04/19/2009, -6/+230Yeah, really, if only they'd stop eating those blindness pills.
- FreakyT, on 04/19/2009, -16/+213Politically incorrect, but amen nonetheless.
- charm803, on 04/19/2009, -19/+215About 2 years ago, I was shopping for a dress to go to a friend's wedding.
The sales person told me how "lucky" I was to be able to fit into the nice dresses.
I told her:
"What you are today are consequences of what you did yesterday."
She found me on myspace a few months ago and thanked me for being blunt. She lost 30 lbs. - WhiskeyLemur, on 06/30/2009, -1/+185We can also start shoving small children into the overhead bins (right after making them soundproof).
- DephexTwin, on 04/19/2009, -4/+153A random salesperson found you on myspace? Creepy.
- themagicfetus, on 04/19/2009, -1/+149yes and when i stood up to run away i slipped on a banana peel
- sondosia, on 04/19/2009, -4/+132Just for the record, my mom was forced to buy a second seat on an airplane for my two-year-old sister, whom my mom had planned to hold on her lap anyway. If she has to pay for a second seat that she won't even USE just because she happened to have a baby, an obese person who takes profit away from the airline by requiring a second seat should have to pay for it too.
- smurfsahoy, on 04/19/2009, -2/+127Creepy people should have to pay more for airplane seats too
- DeadBabyFloat, on 04/19/2009, -0/+120same ***** happened to me, then i was trying to run into a tunnel and banged into the wall cause some ***** painted it with tunnel paint.
- jmgieseke, on 04/19/2009, -4/+122Good. It's no fun being the 115 lb girl squashed between the window and a 400 lb fat dude that has the armrest up so that he can barely fit his fat ass in the seat. I feel like I really deserved a 35% refund on my ticket, because that is about how much of my seat he was taking up.
- chaoswings, on 04/19/2009, -2/+117You can't miraculously be cured of your disability. You cannot magically grow back a limb or suddenly regain the use of your legs. But you sure as hell can exercise and eat properly to lose weight.
I have yet to meet a single fat person who eats properly, period. They do however fool themselves into thinking that what they are doing is either correct or cannot be helped. I have a friend who is a nutritionist and those who come to him and are willing to be helped quickly find that remaining thin is not so impossible.
You may get a bit of a belly in old age but there is no excuse to be breaking your bathroom scale. - Badandy127, on 04/19/2009, -7/+116If you can't fit in an airline seat (recently reduced size or not) you have some problems. I've seen very overweight people fit comfortably in seats.
- inactive, on 04/19/2009, -4/+111As they should. I shouldn't have to pay more for my ticket because other people can't eat or pack sensibly.
If your ass or ***** can't fit in the space allotted, buy more space. - heatheranne, on 04/19/2009, -4/+109I laughed at the suggestion "that planes create sections with slightly wider seats that could be purchased for less than buying two separate seats", it's called 'business class'
- jayjayjoni, on 04/19/2009, -3/+99this is unrelated but have you ever sat down on a bench and then a fat person sits down so your end of the bench goes up in the air?
- RonADiSH, on 04/19/2009, -8/+97Hardly the same
- DangerCollie, on 04/19/2009, -4/+91Heavy people won't get any sympathy from me. I lost weight on the Eat Less Fat Boy diet. Eat less, exercise more, do it forever. Nothing to buy, eat what you want, just less of it.
Hummingbirds have metabolism issues, dinosaurs are big boned, you're just fat and it's because you put too much in your mouth. So, yeah, charge for that extra seat. Hell, I'd almost pay extra for a seat I didn't need even though I fit fine, just to have the extra room. - sciencelovesyou, on 04/19/2009, -1/+88Wheelchair man here.
Not a cool comparison.
...
Also, fat people in rascals are the bane of my existence.
"Why didn't you get a power chair HURR HURR HURR." - inactive, on 04/19/2009, -3/+86If someone was born weighing 600lbs or suddenly gained 400lbs in an accident you would have a point.
- psykiv, on 04/19/2009, -6/+83I was fat, now I'm in pretty good shape. I also eat like 3x as much as I used to.
It has very little to do with how much you eat, it's more about how much exercise you get. - IvanB, on 04/19/2009, -4/+77Well put, well said.
- reddyap1, on 04/19/2009, -10/+81I am glad about this rule. I was tired of sitting next to these tubby bastards and being forced to chew the fat.
- Yarkz, on 04/19/2009, -0/+70If only tall people got charged extra to remove the seat in front of them for a more comfortable flight. Anyone tall would agree...
- RonADiSH, on 04/19/2009, -7/+77but in most cases its just laziness
- 96EK4, on 04/19/2009, -0/+66And airtight
- kingamoon, on 04/19/2009, -2/+66Do you know how skinny you have to be for two of you to fit in those tiny seats? COME ON!
- RansomHoldiay, on 04/19/2009, -1/+65dude... you just scared the last girl on digg away...
- inactive, on 04/19/2009, -7/+67I thought this already happened years ago.
- rolf, on 04/19/2009, -1/+60"It has very little to do with how much you eat, it's more about how much exercise you get."
It's both. I knew people who I adviced to started weighing and writing down everything they ate for 1 week (or month) and were amazed at the calories of what they deemed 'normal' portion. They had no previous concept of portion control. For instance, 28 grams (1 ounce) unshelled peanuts have 170 calories. That's a measly 9-10 of them. One guy was heaping a bowl full of them at a time because he though it was a natural hence healthy snack and was inadvertantly chowing down 1200 calories a sitting thinking he was eating maybe 200 hundred.
When an intense 1/2 hour workout can burn maybe 300-500 calories, it's more than made up by a "small snack" for some obese people. Excercise is great, important, helps in every way and suppresses appetite a little bit but saying it's more important than what you eat is the same as saying earning more (burning more calories) is more important than watching what you spend (eat).
There are plenty of "poor" 6-figure income professionals because an impulse buyer can alway outspend his budget and earnings just like a compulsive eater can always take in more than they burn. - magic6435, on 04/19/2009, -4/+61"I agree, but there should be some sort of exception for people with special medical conditions."
Humm why? their medical condition does not make it cheaper for the airline.. - retral, on 04/19/2009, -2/+58Totally reasonable. If they're going to charge me for my bag being a few pounds overweight, why wouldn't they charge some morbidly obese person who has no self control and weighs 2-4 times as much as I do?
- Yarkz, on 04/19/2009, -4/+57MYSPACE???
- jitterbits, on 04/19/2009, -1/+51There are a few of us here still. You just didn't see us because we were in the kitchen.
- sockpuppets, on 04/19/2009, -2/+52I can't see what you did there.
- sockpuppets, on 04/19/2009, -0/+48Your fat rolled onto your caps lock key.
- inactive, on 04/19/2009, -4/+52Politically Incorrect? So fat people are now their own represented sub-group and must be catered to specifically? Are you out of your ***** mind?
At worst, this could be called a sobering reality. - jboitnott, on 04/19/2009, -6/+53But remember - many airlines have decreased the size of seats in recent years. They don't exactly make a lot of room for people.
- GreenBag, on 04/19/2009, -0/+46Can that guy next to me on my last flight who smelled like vomit get his own row too?
- mjfetner, on 04/19/2009, -3/+46They should have an area for singles only so they can try to find someone to join the elusive mile high club.
- JFitzpatrick, on 04/19/2009, -4/+45No there aren't.
Unless you want to argue that within two generations there was such a massive shift in the genetic make up of people living in Western nations that they now process and store calories differently than the previous 10,000 generations of humans did.
I understand your argument. Rare medical conditions don't explain the current state of America. - BooLag, on 04/23/2009, -0/+40Then I ran off a cliff and only fell when I looked down.
- Preacherman, on 04/19/2009, -2/+39You might be a mathlete, alpha88, but you need to dust up on your common sense, son.
