Archive for fat people on airplanes

I know I’m going to hear it from the Fat lovers and excuse makers out there but something has to be done about shit like this.  There is no way that a man or a women with their ass and body half way into the aisle of an aircraft is safe in any way.

One… and it’s pretty obvious… they’re blocking the aisle in case of an emergency.  You don’t have to be Einstein to figure that one out.  One that not too many people think about… is, more then likely this guy’s going to have a heart attack and if he has it on that aircraft, who is going to lift his ass up and off that plane? I know the flight attendents even if there are five of them aren’t going anywhere near that safety hazzard.  So it will be up to me or some other strong passenger that knows CPR to revive this guy to live another day to eat a box of cookies and a cottage ham.

I know I bitch about fat people and the airlines enough to make you sick but I still don’t see enough being done to help with the problem.  If you complain you are not compassionate to the human species and are downright cruel.  I’m sorry but that’s a bunch of horseshit… If the people that are this fat had an inkling of compassion for themselves they would do anything within their power and everybody else’s power to get the weight off.

I’m harsh because no one else is. Richard Simmons cried with the fat women and a lot of good that did them… they’re still crying only 40 lbs heavier then they were 20 years ago. It’s about time we stop making excuses and get it done?  Let’s make a serious commitment today to get shit done.  Do the work… pick any workout that you want and see it through… it’s up to you.  If you don’t like me calling you FAT, then do something about it.

fat-flight-attendantI’m sitting here stuck in the Dallas Airport because of another friggin’ American Airlines delay. I try so hard not to take American Airlines but they’re the only airline that gets me out early…or supposedly. My girlfriend asked me why I always fly out a day before I’m supposed to be anywhere…”isn’t it a waste of time?” I wish I didn’t have to but the reality nowadays is that I might not make it that same day. I can’t believe how awful air travel has become.

You sign up online for a flight and it’s like playing the lottery and the odds are really against you. I literally have a better chance of getting hit by lightning twice than getting on my scheduled flight anymore. Most of the people traveling remind me of scenes from “One Flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest”. Everyone talking to themselves in low grumbles, barely audible, cursing like they have turrets. Even the people who have turrets look healthy in this environment. It’s getting pathetic. You smile and say hi to someone…especially in the South and someone wants to rip your head off. So much for southern hospitality!

I got on my plane and was squished against the window…the seat was built inside the window I think because when I sat down my shoulder hit the window and my head hit the top of it. I’m not the tallest person, actually midgets talk down to me…o.k. not really but I thought it was funny. The problem is that midgets would have a real problem in this seat. A couple of minutes went by and no one showed up at the seats next to me and I was hoping no one would…but those hopes were dashed when a man about 350lbs with shoulders as wide as mine waddled on up to the seat next to mine.

As he sat down next to me I tried to embed myself into the window…but I was much too large. This guy was literally lowering himself down into his seat, I was waiting for the beep…beep…beep noise to start coming out of him. As he stuffed himself into his seat he decided it was a good idea to spread his elbows out across the armrest…I am already swished against the window…so I had to say something.

I asked if he could move his fat arm off of mine and his answer in a very calm tone was…absolutely not! So I waited a few minutes to see if he would move it and he did not, instead he started sweating on me. Now I’m no expert on bacteria but when some fat person is sweating on you it’s pretty friggin’ disgusting…I don’t care who you are.

I pressed the flight attendant call button to get some help here and no lie, a women in a flight attendant uniform came over that was as old as Joan Rivers, looked like the now deceased Redd Foxx and weighed more than the guy sitting next to me.

I knew then that this was going to be a long flight

us-airways-crashI asked if I could be moved because the guy next to me was literally sweating on me…and I showed her the disgusting sweat that was on my arm and elbow. She told me that the flight was full and that I should have booked something in First Class. Does American Airlines hire people with absolutely no social skills on purpose or are they just scrapping the bottom of the job pool for flight attendants?

I read a post the other day about fat, ugly flight attendants and the blog author quoted that the US Airways flight attendants that saved everyone when the plane crashed in the Hudson were all over fifty. I believe that’s fine but when you are too fat to get out of your own way or when your hips are wider than the aisle, it’s time to find some new work or “get your hips a little narrower” then the aisle.

I know this is a touchy subject.  Most people think that you shouldn’t discriminate against anyone but when it comes to fat I am not one of them.  Fat is not a race, “handicap”, or gender problem.  It is a self-inflicted problem that you bring on yourself…and it is a selfish infiction at that.  You were not born “Fat” no matter what science is trying to determine.  Our bodies were ment to move and participate in physical work.

If you are not moving then you need to provide that physical exertion somewhere else. I am really getting sick of the fact that there are more and more activist websites going up in regards to fat acceptance.  I’m also waiting for smokers to make a comeback and have activist groups for the acceptance of smoking, another self-inflicted health problem.  If we are baning smokers from everywhere because smoking makes people feel uncomfortable especially on airplanes than why should we have to sit next to Fat People…and be made to feel uncomfortable.  I used to have empathy…now I don’t. It used to be that being so fat that you fall into someone else’s seat was a rarity, now it’s become so commonplace that there is a movement for it to become acceptable.   Not on my watch.

The airlines will have to address this sooner then later and I’m hoping sooner.  There is no reason that I should be made uncomfortable when I have paid the same amount or usually more than someone who takes up two seats.  This is NOT acceptable.

For the record…I don’t hate fat people just like I don’t hate smokers, drug addicts, or alcoholics.  I just hate their behavior.

Watch my video and tell me what you think.  Should fat people be measured before they get on the airplane?
