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.”

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.

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.

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.

if its a half empty flight.... i dont care if they take up 2 seats, as long as there is plenty of empty seats. ....... but if its a full flight, and their lard will be hanging out into the isle, and all over the guy next to them, taking up someones elses paid for space..... then yes.. they SHOULD be required to buy two seats.... just like if your carry on bag is too damn big, it has to be put in the cargo hold... you cant just stuff it into the overhead compartment, and leave 18" of duffle bag hanging out.

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.

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.

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

Airlines should have passenger gauges just like for carry-ons.

Base ticket price + price per pound above base + 2nd seat price for failure to fit through gauge = final ticket price.

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.

This, I think I have a pretty average shoulder width and I'm taking up neighbor's space.  Ass fits in the seat, shoulders protrude on either side.
