Fat Slobs Should Pay Extra

Fat Slobs Should Pay Extra

As far as I am concerned, if you can not fit into a plane seat, then you should
pay double for an extra seat.

If you are just a fat slob, even if a kid, then why should normal people have to
suffer, either from your surplus blubber occupying THEIR space, or from your
offensive STINK?

If you refuse to look after yourself, then you should pay.

And I do not care if it is a blubberbutt kid, or their whale-like adults.

Since there are more NORMAL people than slobs, let the majority rule once again.

As long as you also charge extra for offensive obnoxious asinine
opinionated loudmouths such as yourself.

By the way, <plonk> you and the keywords you rode in on.

There are also NORMAL people who don't keep posting the same crap over &

I heard an interesting view the other day. If this ever happens, then
the vegans with flatulence should also have to pay extra.

Not an interesting view at all. There are real differences between
people who can't fit in a seat and/or spill over into the areas of
another and someone with occasional gas.

This whole notion that the rapid rise in obesity is due to a large
number of people affected by circumstances beyond their control is
specious at best; there's just no medical justification for it. It
doesn't cost extra to take a person with gas across the country, but
if your revenue models anticipate a certain weight per customer that
keeps increasing due to a small minority, then that's a legitimate
issue.

Hopefully, a time will come when we'll stop letting this legitimate
argument be sidelined by some "acceptance" argument.

If they charge by weight, there would be lots of people they wouldn't bother
to sell tickets to.

Here in America, we have large guys known as NFL football players, who
sometimes fly with commercial carriers. Since they're hardly out of shape,
be sure to vociferously expound on your gripe, should you find yourself
seated next to one of them.

Particularly since the effort to fit more and more seats into a row has
resulted in airline seats so narrow even anorexic passengers have
trouble fitting into them!

I don't believe any airline has narrowed the seats. They just cut down on
the pitch, which brings the rows closer together.

Some of the seats on planes were always narrower than others. I have had
pain from the hip bones hitting the edge of the seat. And that is years ago
on a TWA flight from London to SFO. I am a big guy, but not fat. My knees
always hit the seat in front in coach. Luckily when I traveled overseas for
business, I mostly flew Business. The TWA flight was because a flight got
cancelled and I got the last seat on another flight. Smoking area and
narrow seat. Suxed.

That, too, but they have CERTAINLY narrowed them considerably since I
first traveled by air! There used to be two seats on either side of a
fairly wide aisle, then it became three on one side, two on the other,
then three and three.... now it's half a dozen in the middle, PLUS three
and three. (And it used to be possible to walk past the flight
attendants' service cart to access a lavatory, without them having to
move the cart to an alcove to allow passage.) True, planes have gotten
bigger and wider, but not enough larger to allow for the number of
passengers they try to squeeze into "coach". (Even First Class is not
nearly so spacious as it once was.)

What aircraft have you actually flown on with that configuration?
