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.

What is a rake?

or better yet,

HUH?

Somebody really really really skinny.

Ha ha ha, this reminds me of the Foo Fighters "Learning To Fly" video.

Y'all are cracking me up with airplane stories. Sykkboy...I've never met you....hope to, one day..but I've read your posts and articles....and I want to thank you for giving me this line to use on the next screaming child, whose parents are inconsiderate enough to think every kid can tolerate no air, no food, no comfort for hours and hours on end.

Why is that? I go to stores and screaming children are all over the place, their parents immune to their cries. Is shopping so damned important that I must be burdened?

Oh. So sorry. This thread is about fat people in airplane seats.
Did you know? Hospitals charge double occupancy, if the person does not fit in a 'normal' sized bed?

The operating room will also double their charges for those rotund, overly overweight personages. I believe the cut off is around 350-400 lbs. It gets real expensive being THAT overweight.

Is not the size and limited space between the economy seats the real problem? I mean are they not cramped but for the very slim? I am pretty sure they have gotten smaller and smaller over the years while the general population is getting wider and wider. I understand the need for better yield to generate profits but the airlines have made it so that we are blaming overweight people for discomfort that is caused by them making us into sardines in a big tin tube.

On a flight returning from Mexico, there was a mid twenties gentleman in nice white shorts who must have been hit by a spell of Montezuma's Revenge and made a run for the toilet only to find it occupied and he couldn't hold it together any longer and had an explosion which started to run down the sides of his shorts in plain view of passengers. Poor guy.

Did people laugh at you when it happened?

Me? No, I told you that :)
