Must've been an American tourist.

 

Y'all aren't immune. Sweden is ranked 90th in the world with nearly 50% of your population overweight.

True, it's getting worse here every year.

Years ago I worked with a big guy that was a real winner.
The dude was a huge person. He was 6'6"+ tall and weighed over 450lbs.
He drank soda all day long. In the time I worked around him he gained over 100 more pounds!
He was so heavy he kept breaking the office chairs. He sit on one and lean back breaking the chair. So he would go to another and break it too.
Front Office start bitching about buying so many chairs.
Eventually they bought a special chair for Mr. Fatness. He broke that one too.
Front Office says fuck this. No more chairs. So Mr. Fatness brings in a, I swear to God, a piece of tree trunk! It was about 18" long and about 12" in diameter.
This is his new chair. He just rolls it wherever he wants to sit.
We were required to change out of civvies into fire retardant clothing at the beginning of our shift. After shift we would shower and go back into civvies and go home.
Company supplied towels and uniforms for us. Mr. Fatness required custom made uniforms. Front Office complained about that too.
The laundry pick up guy started to complain about the towels smelling like shit. Somebody was getting poop on the dirty towels.
Come to find out Mr. Fatness couldn't wipe his own bottom with toilet tissue and was using the towels to go back and forth thru his crack!
He was fired.

A couple of years ago my employer hired a consultant to implement a 5S program.  This very large man would probably weigh about 250 if he was skinny.  He is probably close to twice that.  A group of us were in a meeting with him, his chair broke, and he almost ended up on the floor.  We were all sitting there looking at each other trying not to laugh.

So I work in a place that is 1/2 mile from where I park. I make the walk every day, the fat people (and the old people) take the bus. I take the stairs, they take the elevator.

TLDR: if you are chubby you should walk / take the stairs.

When my old neighbor died a couple of years back the ems had to call the fire department over to his house to cut his porch off so they could get his body out of the house Then the damn FSA children continued to live there with their damn crotch fruit and drug dealing baby daddies This guys was probably 500 lbs, I dont think i ever saw him but 2 times before that day.

The school where my wife teaches is two levels and has a few elevators for the handicap.  These elevators must be operated by keys; which all faculty and staff posses.  She has multiple fatty coworkers who use the handicap elevators to go up one flight of stairs.

To whoever wants airlines to charge fatties by weight, that's all well and good, but don't stop there. Charge everybody by weight, body weight + baggage weight. Make it fair and even.

Of course I won't fly then either, fuck those fly Petri dish cattle cars.  I havnt fit in a standard airline seat since middle school, want to know what hell is? 16 hour flight when your riding economy and are  74 inches tall and weigh 250. Fuck airliners. I'll drive.


I've earned my mountain tab, gone whaling, whatever you want to call it. That's what hot ass showers and rough soap is for. Had one so fat and embarrassed about it,She didn't want to take her shirt off. Fine, idgaf, not like I was gonna let her get on top anyway.  of course I was extra sneaky sneaking her out of the barracks.

fatties should not get handicapped parking permits. they should have to park the farthest away

Two stories, same location:

#1: Grand Forks, ND had the fattest motherfuckers I have ever seen. Many people spotted that were rapidly approaching an equal 1:1 ratio for height and width. I've been all over the country and this town took the cake, ate it, then went back for seconds.

We were staying in the large hotel attached to the hockey arena in town. There's an indoor water park there so we hit that up. There's a cone/funnel tube slide that you can use tandem tubes on and you spiral around it and down the center like a toilet bowl. Two morbidly (over 400lbs each) Natives were at the park and they wanted to hit up the slide.

The lifeguard/attendant at the top of the slide was hesitant to let them go down it, but caved in because I think he realized if he didn't, the structure we were all standing on would.

So Chief Shakes-the-Ground and his sidekick get in the tandem tube and bottom out at the staging/launch area. No-Go. The attendant gives them a tremendous shove, and off they go down the tube.

That Newton guy and his laws about physics are pretty non-negotiable. Mass traveling downward increasing in speed generated incredible force once they entered the toiletbowl section of the slide, and they promptly smashed against the upper ring (something you're really not supposed to do, physically) and then continued to spiral for a full eight rotations before being shat out like two brontasaurus turds into the pool below.

Those of us left standing at the top all took a few long seconds to regain ourselves and process what we had just witnessed.

Story #2:
Grand Forks again. Same building. We were there for my sister's graduation so there were a lot of people staying at this hotel. The hotel also had an all-you-can-eat breakfast bar with some really tasty food.

Enter the largest humans I have ever seen. This family (dad, mom (in their 50s), two adult daughters and son, and their crotch spawn). The adults were all over 6 feet tall, even the women. Then when you consider their heft, each of them were easily over 450lbs. They slowly shuffled their way through the lobby with the same gait as obese penguins, legs the size of mature oak tree trunks.

They each got several plates full of food at once. Seating was an ordeal for them as they fought each other over who would get th ebench seat since I guess there were concerns of the structural integrity of the standard chars most people were sitting on.

This faily of Hutts start mowing down the food, plate after plate - you could HEAR them eating over the loud din of other diners chatting, food being cooked, etc. Once most of the lardbeasts had gorged themselves to some form of satisfaction, they start taunting one another about how much they had eaten. Not that someone was a gluttinous slob for eating so much, but because one of the manatees didn't eat more than four plates.

I have a picture of this family somewhere.

Grand Forks, ND. Fattest fuckin places in the US.

or a Belgian Health minister

Should that man be able to fly on a plane?

Why, yes, of course:

I love a story with a happy ending!

There are people in my office, men, who are so fat they don't fit the urinal stall so they have to piss in the shit stall.

I have a great deal of pity for these people.

Disgusting

That is a sig line right there!

I was the Paramedic that got the 911 call for Walter Hudson, with 1 hour left in my tour You knew it was going to be one of those calls when the dispatcher lets you know she's already requested an additional BLS unit, FDNY and NYPD ESU for a lift assist...



It took 17 hours to take apart his home so we can get him out, and another three hours to take the front doors off of Woodhull hosital so we can get him in.....We actually had to use a Consolidated Edison (NYC Gas company) box truck to transport him as he wouldn't fit in an ambualnce........

The engine co. at my house had a first aid call nearby. They immediately called for a truck co., so off we go. The pt was oh, 6-5 and 4-500 lbs. A stock pot on the stove with a good ten inches of room temperature bacon fat. Aha, says I. We throw an overhaul tarp over a chair, then stand him up. He starts crying out in pain because his groin just dropped about 5 inches. We waddle him over to the tarp, set him down in it , wrap him up like a giant burrito, pull him to the stairs (don't they all live on the 2nd floor?) and bump-bump-bump-bumped him down the stairs to the door. More heaving and we get him into the ambo- minus the stretcher,of course. He died a few weeks later. Congrats guys, once again this thread has chased me down to the weight room for a workout.

Four floors or less, I take the stairs.  Only takes a minute.

At work I constantly see people taking the elevator 1 floor. Down.

There's also one of those handicapped 'push to open' buttons. I have NEVER seen anyone not use it.

Sounds like this is what my wife's disgusting fat cousin did. The bitch has got to weigh 400 lbs. and she some how got knocked up.

Don't let this thread die!








soo messed up: i felt bad. poor kid. deleted

I'm going to need more information.

That was awesome.

I'm 6'1" and 296 lbs

I know you can hear me Matt.

Here, give me your hat.  I need to throw up.

It's stories like this, which REALLY help me keep my life in perspective.

They sell it to Mrs. Lovett's Pie Shop.  It makes flaky crusts.  Seriously flaky crusts.

I had a rather large buddy when I was young.

He was well over 375lbs. and 5' 9ish tall.

We ate breakfast at Frank's Grill once and when it was over........



I had to physically lift and push him up into the truck because he couldn't climb in himself.


I felt soo ashamed

I thought initially that that was a boob sticking out of his shirt.  YEeeeecH!

Did one of his friends have an anti-aircraft gun?

Same thing happened when we went live with our electronic medical record.

I've been in healthcare long enough to have great stories. I once intubated a guy who had to be transferred to another facility in a C-130. He was too large to fit through the fuselage opening on any .civ helicopters or fixed-wing aircraft within a multi-state area.

Ditto.
The hospital of my residency had a "world renowned" bariatric surgeon. The average patient was about 750#. Seriously. Wouldn't even try to extubate them. Straight to STICU, then weaned the next day.Mortality was high, too.

On a non-shoptalk note, I was at a buffet (Nauvoo Hotel, Illinois) and the dude was pulling his oxygen tank on wheels with one hand, loading up the plate with the other, all the while SNORING because he was so fat his airway obstructed with each breath, while wide awake and vertical.

Uh oh.

I got nothing like most of the stories posted here but I did see a woman with waist titties today trying to get into a car. Pretty funny/sad.

Uh oh.

He was familiar and it took that long?
