A New Jersey bookstore manager claims he was kicked off his United Airlines flight on Tuesday for being overweight. |

Good. There is no way that guy fits in one seat without flabalanching all over his neighbors.

“The supervisor actually said it was not her fault or the company’s fault,” Narvaez says. “It was my fault, basically, for being overweight.”
View Quote He gets it. |

I have no problem with that having spent more than one flight nestled in the warm sticky malodorous folds of Adipose Annie.
He probably just got bitchy though. You can be bitchy if you're attractive but nobody likes a bitch fatty. |

Let me guess,
Special Snowflake bought 1 ticket, took up TWO seats. Amazing he doesn't have enough money to buy TWO seats, but can eat the caloric intake of 3-4 people every day. "I DONT HAVE MONEY FOR A SECOND TICKET, I SPENT $600 ON STARBUCKS LAST WEEK .... :(" #Fatpeopleproblems |
|
Once off the plane, Narvaez says, he was first told he could pay $117 to buy a second seat on a flight six hours later. But United then gave him a second seat, free of charge, on that later flight. View Quote Sounds like the airline accommodated him just fine. All 385lbs of him. If you're that big, you need to buy seats accordingly. Like, two of them, or business class. I'm almost 150lbs lighter than that guy, and even I am right at the limit for a coach seat. |

EACH PASSENGER is allotted 250lbs for themselves, carry-ons, and Luggage. And +$2 per pound over. Guess what, you weigh 120? Awesome, have 130lbs of luggage for FREE. You weigh 358lbs? Plus you have 100lbs or luggage? OUCH, that's gonna sting your pocket fatty. An extra 208lbs is gonna run you $416 dollars in "FREIGHT" charges. Have a nice flight Fatass. |

If he needs two seat to sit. How does he use an airliners shitter?

He gets it. No dude, *I* am 'overweight' at 6' ~200 and 23 BMI. You, are morbidly obese at 6'(?) 385. But at least there's the beginning of accepting responsibility. I guess he'd be "curvy" if he were filling out an online dating profile. |

View Quote THIS. Very convenient they'd film it right next to a treadmill. |

View Quote Ha! nice photo op with the treadmill in the background. That is probably the first time that thing hasn't been used as a clothes rack in years. |
|
Better luck ruining other passengers flights next time fatty.

Fat people get zero sympathy from me. Drop the Mtn Dew and cheeseburger and take your fat ass outside.

In all fairness, the airlines have reduced the seat width by 2-3". My shoulders barely fit within the seat width, and I'm not overweight
|

Your luggage can be overweight and you are charged for it.
He was over diameter. They don't weigh the passengers, though they should. |

IIRC someone posted once about some whale that lived in their apartment complex... fat guy admitted he could not wipe his own ass.... so he would go get into the apartment complex hot tub, and let it wash his ass clean for him. said poster was asking advice on what to do / how to report him, etc. |

Hot tubs aren't like swimming pools with filters etc, the water stays in one small container. |

fat is a disability now. i fully expect federal law making it illegal to make fat people buy 2 seats... etc... http://i397.photobucket.com/albums/pp58/buck19delta/Obese_zpsylx6noxr.png View Quote Good God that's a huge person. |

Instead of constantly trying to do new gun-control studies, maybe the CDC should do a study to proclaim that fat-shaming is medically necessary for the country.
I've lost 40, but I still have 65lbs to go, and I need fat-shaming. |

The next time he should take the train. Box and cattle cars are quite spacious.

View Quote First person I thought of. |

Yes I quoted myself. This is why Airlines should weigh passengers AND luggage together and give a per-person cap before you add extra cost for extra weight. EACH PASSENGER is allotted 250lbs for themselves, carry-ons, and Luggage. And +$2 per pound over. Guess what, you weigh 120? Awesome, have 130lbs of luggage for FREE. You weigh 358lbs? Plus you have 100lbs or luggage? OUCH, that's gonna sting your pocket fatty. An extra 208lbs is gonna run you $416 dollars in "FREIGHT" charges. Have a nice flight Fatass.

I've always said each passenger should step on a cattle scale at check in just like luggage is weighed. Then as you go through the X-ray machine it has a body odor and too much F'ing cologne/perfume identifier. Those that fail have to go to the shower! Nasty smelly fat bodies. |
