Kicking the fat man

This guy is suing the airline because the sat him next to a fat guy.

I hope he wins, i hate sitting next to fat people on the plane. There gravy is always dripping on my and watch them try and fit as many hamburgers as possible in there mouth. They are always trying to stick the bucket of chicken on my side.

Fuck that, im tired of it.

I should sue the airline for not providing enough leg room, last flight I was on the guy in front of me reclined his seat and I screamed out in pain cause the seat dug into my knees which were already against the back of the seat in front of me. Poor studerass probally thought it was a highjacking. The guy in front didn't want to put his seat back either till the studardess made him.


And I get real pissed of when a skinny person doesn't want to share the extra room on his seat for my emergency bucket of chicken.

Im a very curteous person on airplanes. I dont even put my seat back cause i dont want to start encroaching on whoever is sitting behind me.

And for you Sleazy, hell, i'll hold your bucket of chicken for you. :)

KLM charge double for extra wide people - a black woman was recently charged extra at the ticket desk because she could not possibly fit into one seat.

I guess this is why American Airlines fuel bill is so high compared to a comparable European Airline. :helpme

"Mental Anguish"

Oh please!

While i agree that the person was probably in a rather uncomfortable position, i think it's a fucking joke to refer to it as "mental anguish"

He'll probably win though. It <i>is</i> about time airlines addressed issues like this. I wonder how much of an impact this will have on that move to charge obese people for more than one passenger seat.

I would just be happy if all their carry on luggage wasn't fast food.

I say if they can afford triple the food, every meal, every day of their life, they can afford double the price on a damn plane ticket.

Sheesh... I still don't understand how people get that big, its a disgrace. I hope the guy wins.

I could not agree more. The only thing that pisses me off more than a fat person and his/her carry on lasagne is a skinny fuck with his carry on goat who decides it is time to join the mile high club.

I always buy a seat for my goat

I said I hoped the guy sueing McDonalds choked to death on a Big Mac

Guess what I hope happens to this sorry fuck:BangBang: :ak47:

Well...the last time my wife took a flight she was squished by a wide body and told me that she was so miserable that she would never fly again, so she suffered some mental anguish for several hours.

The airlines should simply put x number of wide body seats on the plane and it is up to them if they want to charge more for the wide body seats or not.

Would save some embarrassment for the wide bodys and some misery for others.

Simple Solution


Have a Brother who works for an airline :)

no one likes an asskisser, Gary, no one........

Overall, you know things are going fairly well in a country when instead of worrying about starving to death we're worrying about suing fat people for mentally torturing us on flights.

Life is good in the big US of A...

from anyone else that would be asskissing, from gary it's an attempt at getting some of my chicken for his goat to munch on.

goats eat chicken? I never would have guessed.



What's a "studardess"?



And, so he's crying mental anguish over that? Okay, the next time I see a movie that disturbs me in any way, even for a few hours, I'm going to sue the producers for mental anguish.
The next time I have to wait in line at the bank or the supermarket, and am made to feel uncomfortable in any way, I'm suing for mental anguish.


Why work when we can sue for our supper?

When you screamed out in pain was it a high pitch bitch squeal or just an all out 'AHHHHH MOTHERFUCK!' type of scream?

It's important, I need to know.

time to bust out and upgrade your tix.

This have something to do with your "dream" isn't it :Graucho

I agree with the mental anguish shit.

I got stuck next to a fattie on a flight to Hawaii once. The flight was full, I was in the window seat, he in the isle. I kept the arm rest between us down which kept the stomach rolls at bay, but the ass rolls bulged underneath it. And when he put his arms on the rest, the arm rolls would rub against me. I'm 6'1" and 175 or so, so there ain't much maneuver room in a coach seat for me to begin with.

I ended up standing outside the fuckin' bathrooms for a couple of hours until a sympathetic stewardess who had noticed my plight let me sit in a jump seat next to the emergency door.

The airline has a responsibility to make reasonably sure you are comfortable and getting what you paid for, which is a whole seat on the airplane. Not half a seat because they didn't want to risk offending some fat slob by charging him for both his ass cheeks.

Im going to have to agree with Gary on this one. Sitting next to some 350 pound guy for 6 hours is the worst. If its a small plane and its full, he/she sweats the whole time.. the smell of ass overcomes your senses, and you go into convulsions.. Its true, i've seen it happen :1orglaugh

i always turn around and ask if its ok i put my seat back, believe it or not...

Stop complaining people and next time fly first class. My luck made me to sit next to hot chicks, as far as I can remember the person next to me on a plane was a good looking girl:Graucho

Fat people on airplanes sweat excessively and always ask if I'm gonna eat all my meal

I believe it. Its just kinda rude to throw your seat back and to hell with anyone behind you.

At least they ask you, they just start grabbing at mine

Surpirsed you're not Canadian

I like American Airlines for leg room....

they're the only ones that have "decent" leg room for me... 6'3" is not always fun :)

so true. i'm about 6' 3" and 195 - it's already a tight squeeze, let's just say the space between my seat and the seat ahead is not calculated using my legs as a guide. put a fat man into the equation on a long flight = pure hell.

i always try to get exit row seating (so sweet), and the odd time i fly 1st class as well (pure heaven).

especially if you happen to have your laptop open on the tray - fuck i hate that!

:1orglaugh

First Class seats rule, if that is not avaiable, Exit rows are king, enough space to breakdance if I wanted to, LOL

The only thing more annoying than the fat man next to you, is once me and a buddy were going to a convention in Florida, there was an ENTIRE cheerleading team as well, NO, this wasnt a content shooters heaven, this was 12-13 year olds on the way to some nationals or some shit like that, They were screaming and cackling like a godamm packa turkeys on the way to be shot. I thought I was going to go mental in the waiting area before the flight.

Thank GOD I got bumped to the next flight since the flight as most of know are overbooked anyway and I couldnt take the noise level anymore without wanting to seriously hurt someone by beating then with a laptop . Added points for watching my buddy get piss drunk in the bar and desperately trying to pick up the waitress, only to drop his beer in his lap and have to walk thru the airport to the gate with him looking as he pissed himself royally.

Couldnt help but laugh whenever I looked back at him sitting the row behind me in First Class.

Don't you mean you'd be happy if they didn't watch out for their carryon luggage and it was all fast food?

Worst flight I was ever on required coming back to Atlanta and changing planes twice -- yes twice back, three different planes out of ATL -- to get to Dallas a long time ago.

BEST flight I was ever on was a Dallas to Miami on AA's flagship 777s. Managed to get an upgrade to first class, and I kid you not the seats make beds. 16 seats in a normal 32 seat first class config space, with pull up partitions and all manner of amenities. You could have had a cheerleading squad carrying live chikens up there and still wouldn't have noticed. I seriously considered flying on to Santiago since that was the next stop.

I hate kids on planes too..
one time after a string of unlucky events at a webmaster show in Montreal, I was on a long flight home and this kid behind me kept kicking the back of my seat and he was also razzing his brother and being a little prick..I finally turned to him and without really thiunking, yelled at him "If you don't stop kicking my seat and shut the fuck up, I'll stuff back into your mother's womb!" The kid, as well as the parents were slient the rest of the flight...as I de-boarded the plane there were a few people waiting for me in the lobby, thanking me.....

I'm quite sure I would have noticd something like that......

teen girls in cheerleader outfits + live barnyard animals = one happy SykkBoy

Amen brother

Exactly right.

Every one who flies knows what can happen when you get on the plane. You can be sitting next to a screaming kid, or a drunk, or a sweaty stinky fuck who insists on trying to talk to you for the whole flight.

What kind of mentality does it take to try and sue for even the slightest inconvinience.

Shit, who do I sue when it rains on me.

LOL Sykk, your screaming story is funny. Brad almost got in a fight with a guy on a flight not long ago -- we were on our way home, the same people that were on our flight out, no less -- had a screaming kid the way out -- so they are right behind us on the way home, and the kid is just at the edge of being allowed to sit in the lap, and she's behind us kicking our seats from her moms lap.

We tried to ignore it but she didn't stop, so finally he turns around and says something to the guy, and the guy was horribly rude.

It was not pretty, the stewardess puts them in the row in front of us since it was empty and then they put the kid on the floor on a blanket and we haven't even taken off. So of course that doesn't work for the stewardesses, it was a cluster fuck, those people.

r Kelly would have been in heaven.

Good for him

that is very disturbing :(

All im saying is its not neccesary to hit EVERY fast food join on the way to board the plane. If its a 2 hour flight, you really dont need a flight attendant to help you carry all the food.

Do fat people (or anybody for that matter) care about how bad you look when your boarding a plane with a huge bucket of french fries, several hamburgers and a pepsi the size of a planes tire?

hehehe, remember the full story behind that?

I'll have to go dig up that article..I think it's still in the archives of the Chronicles...what a nightmare fucking trip (except, I did actually enjoy the show) between lost luggage and waking cyberpunk up at 6 am and him corrupting me by introducing me to smoked meat sandwiches and trying to order goddamned Taco bell in french.........and my pants partying in Chicago while I was in Montreal.......

Are you a fat fuck yourself, or just a sissy who thinks this topic is "mean" ?

I had a fat guy beside me on a flight before and it was terrible.

Isn't he 16?

:glugglug

Gary, you'll change your mind. You just have to meet the right fat person.

I used to think the way you do, until I met a nice pudgy girl. This little piggy carried buckets of food on board but ya know what? She shared the food with me. I had several full course meals on her. It was some good eatin' I tell ya.

So, I think the key here is to share. As long as they share that greasy tub of chicken then they can sit wherever they want.

If the airlines don't charge fat people for 2 seats, they should at least discount people sitting beside them.

If you need to fly cheap, just opt to sit next to a fatty and your ticket is half price.

If fatty is really pissing you off, slip some laxatives in his/her drink while they're busy shoving that bag of Doritos down the pie hole. They'll be in the washroom for the entire trip and you'll have more space.

Yeah Gary I thought we were friends dammit.

Whatever Kimmy, something tells me you're probably a rake.
