Remember when Kevin Smith was so fat that made him pay for two seats on his flight?
xamoral
I have the slight feeling, that this has much more to do with the 'fat person' being an asshole than the guy has overweight.
sebajune
See, if you're fat AND hateful then I have no time or respect for ya
benbendingmoon
As a fat chick I am aware that I take up more space, on public transport I sit uncomfortably squashed to not take up any extra seat space.
gshock56
This is why we have grannies! They will bring the peace regardless of themselves... +1 to the granny!
iGivePoorAdvice
Are we alowed to make fun of fat people now? I thought that was a mortal sin on this site?
WurstWaterr
That Grandma? Albert Einstein.
alRakoun
TIL "hamplanet".
hiig
Thank god I don't have to deal with that sort of pettiness on my flights.
mds308
That's because you fly for UPS.
DeckhandAdmiral
Ah good old FPS, its a fun subreddit.
drfsupercenter
I am assuming this doesn't stand for first-person shooter...
Diddelidi
Buy that granny a drink, she saved your happines!
ReginaldMurrayWilliams
Then the TSA came and everybody got a smack in the gob.

Cool story but bad tags, that's a downvpte

As a relative noon in user sub, why isn't this upvoted? Just curious.
mishalala
*"noob", not noon. Thanks auto corrupt.
ConradPerson
I don't understand. Are you angry because he encroached in your space or because he was fat and encroached in your space?
szepasszony
I think they're just angry in general
walkingtallmachinegunman
If youre next to a person that big, its best to be at the window/middle. With the aisle seat you get bent sideways over the armrest. Rekd>
walkingtallmachinegunman
my back on my last flight.
BenScottDrWhoFan
Im overweight and the last flight i was on i cramped myself as close to the side as i could to make sure the person next to me had room..
Coolbacca
My experience riding next to...plus sized passengers is the flight starts out that way then they fall asleep and the spill over starts
BenScottDrWhoFan
It was a fairly short flight and early in the morning..plus I don't sleep on planes unless there is an empty space next to me(1)
BenScottDrWhoFan
On the connecting flight my sister and I were the only people in a three seat row so I moved over before take off so there was more room(2)
CapnMawf
As a fat dude, I buy an aisle seat and squeeze/lean as far away from middle seat as I can to avoid making my seat-mates uncomfortable.
Hoshizaki78
My Grandma told a police officer off one time for trying to give her a ticket for speeding. She got off. Told me she was surely speeding.
illistan
american fat is like the least coolest of fat
eyeLied
What is the coolest of fat?
AVeryTinyGyrados
Chef fat.
Incendor
Deep-frozen butter maybe? idk, I'm no expert
Coolbacca
Phat, come on man everyone knows that!
eyeLied
I was going to argue, but by your sn, you seem to be an expert.
robertloblawlessthethird
It’s very hard to look someone dead in the eye when your in a middle seat on a plane
Miss3y
Humans have these things called necks. They let us turn our heads to look at things.
skatha
Maybe they climbed on the guy's lap to do it
Diofant
What does 'kick my legs out' mean..?
mishalala
"man-spreading"
Coolbacca
*Triggles with rage*
Diofant
Ahh, got it. I thought he kicked the seat in front of him.
erbiumyttriumytterbium
I'm a big guy, both fat (by at least 60 lb) and bulked (former rugby player). Economy is tough! But I apologize, and I try to sit on 2>
erbiumyttriumytterbium
aisle, or swap to get seat next to someone smaller, or both. Or get United Economy Plus. Life's too short to act like an a-hole.
UhhhhhNick
My 3 kids, wife and I flew to PA from Colorado for the holidays and if theres one thing that sucks to do is flying with a newborn and a 2
UhhhhhNick
yr old. My wife sat with our 7 yr old daughter and our 4mo old in the row behind us, I sat with my 2 yr old son. Hes in the terrible 2's
UhhhhhNick
stage of his life so the only person to calm him down is mommy but she was busy with the baby. The nice lady sitting next to us read him
UhhhhhNick
a book the entire flight and he sat there listening the whole time without fussing at all. Thank you Janet.
Coolbacca
Sucks for you and everyone else on the plane
UhhhhhNick
They actually did fine, I expected worse. There were other babies on the plane and i cant say the same for them
KaosOverlord
I am heavyset and I fear this when I fly. So I make sure to get an aisle seat or I force myself into place. They didn't eat all those tacos.
TheUnsolicitedDuckPic
Fuckin tacos man. Those fuckin damned delicious tacos . . .
Kerberos623
I get a window seat and lean into the body of the airplane as much as I can.
PossiblyJewish
I have to do an aisle seat anywhere I go. I'm fat, have wide shoulders, and tall. If I sit window or middle I have nowhere to go :(. 1/2
PossiblyJewish
At least if I do aisle, I can spill into the aisle a little and inconvenience as few people as possible.
walkingtallmachinegunman
I too have wide shoulders. Id rather be pinned to the wall than be bent over the aisle side armrest. My back hurt for days
PossiblyJewish
I gotta have somewhere for my legs to go. Otherwise I'd take window.
DarkWhiteWolf
As a fat man, It's called crossing your ankles and tucking your legs back. Automatically pulls your knees together without much effort.
zingzingzingbah
Ham planet, lol
Wanderingmaniac
Oh that read ham planet? I took a long time but ultimately gave up on what it read.
DieselBrother
I lost it at Hamplanet
Darkspire
It gets me every time.
TheUserNameThatYouAreReading
MaurnaElegYiar
always enjoyed the term ham beast myself
Thisisnotacleverjoke
Seriously though, people like that are assholes. We're all uncomfortable, get over yourself.
eetsumkaus
not us short people!
raptorsoldier
Roll down the window to get some fresh air
Cataleast
"Buh-buh-but I'm husky! I'm more uncomfortable than you!" "Now whose fault is that then?" "IT'S GLANDULAR! I HAVE A CONDITION!" "Riiight."
goldfishcrackersbetweentheseats
Has anyone seen the photos of planes from the 70s? Like what the sht man?
JamesBondMegacorn
Seats were also a lot more expensive. A lot more
ChucklePuss
Even considering inflation?
mishalala
But a woman's stiletto could put a hole thru the plane.... So there's that
Snooj
Yeah, try being tall and trying to sleep. It's fucking hell on a plane. Sat in the back row once and thought I was going to die.
justtootall
I found it easiest to snap my neck and balance my head on top of the seatback. Or I'll wish I did every time i woke up. No support is pain
FrozenWaterIsCool
As a tall person, get a seat in the emergency aisle.
IAmTheBadW01f
My strategy is to take the window seat and stick my carry on under my knees, freeing up the space under the seat in front of me for my legs.
Snooj
I usually take an aisle and stretch one leg straight forward, keeping close to the seat in front of me so no one trips on it.
Snooj
The best part is they can't get the snack trolley past so I never sleep through it.
IAmTheBadW01f
Nice, best of both worlds, until someone kicks your foot accidentally while you're asleep
IProvideFakeContext
It's one of the very few perks of being short.
DieselBrother
You don't even need to be terribly tall to be uncomfortable on an airplane. Keep in mind, the average American male is 5'9" now.
Wooie
I'm 5'3 and have to duck, of course I'm super poor so maybe it's just my ticket price at work?
nullpotato
Brother in law is 6'4" and 350 pounds. He rightfully despises flying.
Thisisnotacleverjoke
I totally understand, I'm 6'5" and fly a lot, its absolutely miserable, especially when somebody decides to leanback into you. Always ask!
Hazelmutt
Same height. Would you say no if someone asked?
BenSnow97
I don't get why fat people take it as an offense when people say or even imply they are fat. Like, that's a fact and a problem we have (1/?)
Teaisserious
I am about 20 lbs overweight. When someone says I'm fat I just say, "yup".
KingMammajamma
If I'm called fat ass for a no good reason it is kind of annoying, but if I was being like this fat ass. I would have it coming lol
humblegrumblebee
A lot of it is fear. They anticipate harassment and preemptively get defensive.
Jameszombob
Talking to my morbidly obese friend about r/roastme titles. I say "give them ammo to roast you" "like what?"
neochiken1
We don't, there are assholes of every form, I'm not going to be upset someone pointed out that I'm big unless it was just to be a dick.
ActionJohnnie
Because pointing out the obvious is laziness
coffeebeforeitscool
So is being a fat fuck though.
neochiken1
Dude recovering from obesity is legitimately one of the hardest things you can ever do, don't be that way.
coffeebeforeitscool
I say that as a former fat fuck though ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
mishalala
Then you're entitled..:) Congrats on your weight loss
thelonepig
I gained weight and if I mention it, people lose their shit. America is uncomfortable acknowledging weight. I could get diabetes, my...
thelonepig
could be shot, but if I say I need to lose weight "Oh no honey you're beautiful! What are you even talking about?!" MY HEALTH AND FACTS DUDE
SarahButNotImgurSarah
It's worse when I say I'm fat (which I am) and people get all offended at me for calling myself fat. Like holy crap, it's my body lol
benbendingmoon
Yeah its weird, I know that I am fat, its not an insult, its a fact. Its like people being offended by saying i'm british, or female.
HanktheHeliotropeShank
WOAH YOU'RE FEMALE? YOU CAN'T SAY THAT AROUND HERE.
benbendingmoon
Triggered.
BenSnow97
to deal with. In most cases, it's not even about blame, just logistics. (Although most people who get offended aren't sick, just lazy) (2/2)
birdlife
If someone went out of their way to point it out, their an asshole. Just like if you tell someone with ugly hair that it's ugly. That's 1/?
birdlife
Being an asshole. If they did something to provoke you, then that's one thing, but without their weight directly affecting you (which 99%2/3
birdlife
Of the time it doesn't) it doesn't need to even be addressed. That is between them and their doctor. They know what they look like.
SeaHacking
Same reason people don't like to address alcohol or tobacco abuse, embarrassment.
laideron
Why do you need to tell people they're fat? You think they don't know?
BenSnow97
I don't just go and tell them, but if them being fat affects anything, I'm not going to pretend they are thinner
mishalala
Well we're sure as fuck not gonna deny the situation.
Kligan
Because people hate when they being told the truth.
therealpdawg
My comment history can attest to this fact.
Stefanfr1997
Too right. Not too long ago I pointed out "Huh, living in America kinda sucks rn tbh". Oh the PMs I recieved from that one...
ramshackleackle
My entire life has been a struggle between being frank and honest telling people what the fuck is up,and trying to win my friends back
IKnowYouHateMeYes
I had a good laugh seeing your worst section. While some shit you said was dumb as shit, you got downvoted for saying some real shit.
therealpdawg
I'd be happy for you to post factual rebuttals to anything I've ever posted. That being said, sometimes I post for..less than noble reasons.
BlueFire4101
I think it might have more to do with people being comfortable (or lazy) with themselves so they get offended when someone has an issue(1/4)
BlueFire4101
Replace "fat" with something you personally like for example, then people having an issue with it, you might not like it either. (2/4)
BenSnow97
I have no problem with fat people being fat, but if it's their choice, it's also their job to deal with the issues, not everyone else's.
BlueFire4101
Then there's people not wanting to change, it's easier to, in their mind, rationalize the other person as being the problem. (3/4)

They hated Jesus, for he spoke the truth.
