How do you deal with fat person sitting next to you on plane?

[mathdotcom]

Have had this happen to me too many times. Guy's fat is spilling over onto your part of the seat, they never even apologize, have their arms jutting out into your chest area because they have nowhere else to put them, disgusting eating habits, etc.

Do you complain to the staff? Do you ask for a refund?

Why do they weigh baggage but not people? They should charge a premium for every pound you are over 200lbs and give that premium to whomever is sitting next to you.

Maybe online you could have the option: do you want to sit next to a fat person?
There would be savings for doing so. The people who would be most suited to this arrangement are skinny people (generally women, children) who don't need as much space in their seat. This would be more efficient.

there is a lot worse than fat boy..

how about a crying baby who never stops... OR a very smelly guy who hasn't showered in 4 weeks and smells like B.O... i have been through those 2 before in a 7 hr flight to Amsterdam and Italy, and it felt like 70 hrs..

worst 7 hrs of my life..

LOL, I love this post and anyone who flies regularly can appreciate this. IMO, the only thing worse is having a crying kid sitting next to you. Seems like the airlines could have special seating area down with the luggage just for children. Sh!t they make my dogs fly down there and they are better behaved than most kids on planes.

Most airlines do charge more if you take up more than a seat. But 200 pounds and up? If someone who is 6-2, 230 is too big for you to sit next to, maybe you should check out buying those first class seats so you're not bothered. My wife's in the travel biz and could help you out with those first class seats if you'd like.

How much of a cut are you getting out of this deal?

[mathdotcom]

The 200lb cutoff was kind of arbitrary. Like you said, a very tall guy who is just muscular could easily be 230lbs without causing discomfort to his neighbour. Maybe a formula could be created to account for height, since height does not cause issues for the neighbour. Would also help in case you have a 4'9 person who is very wide but doesn't weight that much because he is short.

Depends. Where do you want to fly? Call 1-800-410-8577 and when the lady asks for the secret password tell her, "I am Willie B's Love Slave."

Would that actually cut the price, cause a price inflation, laughter, or cause a hit to be put out on me?

Cuddle!!

Crying babies are the worst. Thinking about doing first class on next Vegas trip, but recently saw a lady with her crying kid in first class. How pissed would you be if you paid the extra $100 for those seats and sat next to a screaming kid!??!?!? I'd snap.

Close 2nd is sitting next to a chatty person when you just want to be left alone.

Depends which lady answers the phone.

[mathdotcom]

Hopefully the baby isn't crying the whole time. But a fatso will make you uncomfortable in your seat the entire flight

[Willie Bee]

Crying babies don't really bother me. Hard to get upset at some infant. Now unruly toddlers, 5-yr-olds whose parents don't take care of, that's another story.

And the Chatty Cathy's don't bother me either since I have no problem telling them I'm not really interested in hearing more of their crap.

[daggerkobe]

So you've sat next to Brent?

I feel horrible for you!

[BadNina]

Just ask the FA is Sky is on the flight and tell him Nina sent you.

What I do in these type on situations is I fight back. A fat dude throwing crumbs at my side I always accidentally drop the OJ on his lap. A smelly person, I start farting and if they complain I tell the person about the stink from their side. A crying baby, I start singing untill the mother goes crazy and tells me something, then I just tell her "now you know how I feel"

[purecarnagge]

i tell them to lean the otherway.

[mathdotcom]

Telling a fat person to lean the other way is just asking for a fart in your face

[sickler]

A portable liposuction machine should take care of it.

[Kargo]

I'd say a parachute would fix it... you guys can figure how !

Bad manners are not inherent to fat people, I don't think you should generalize on that. I guess that would not happen if you traveled in executive class; I believe a fat person would spare you the hassle if they could afford to pay for two seats or travel in first class

[Iamtheman]

order drinks

Exactly

[loaderunit23]

This without doubt is bad. However, I recently was forced to sit in between 2 fat people on a stand by flight! I have never experienced so much heavy breathing first hand within a 3 hour span. Disgusting.

[Kargo]

The perfect solution is Chloroform, put some in a small towell and have the fat dude smell it.. or the baby ( the mother too, unless she's hot ), worst case scenario, you use it on yourlsef, that's a happy flight !

[SlickFazzer]

I bring fat porn, the stuff with guys porking obese broads...I play that in my small dvd player, and make sure that they can see the screen.

[compaqDikk]

dude your a cheap broke fukk. get a new job that doesn't require flying. buy an RV like john madden and drive you lazy fukk. buy 2 coach seats you crybaby. sit on the john the whole time you patehtic loser. look for empty seats.

think son
meet me in chat

[Kargo]

I have another scenario, how about when you're sitting next to a smoking hot chick and you just can't help looking at her rack ??
She's probably asking in another forum how to deal with guys like us !!

[SlickFazzer]

Those chicks love the attention Kargo, keep starring.

[Kargo]

That's what I thought too, otherwise they'd make sure to keep them boobies covered. I feel relieved now !

[BestPlay2day]

Haven't had to deal with this thank God! Just take the armrests and put them down if you are seated 1st and it stays down. Let fatty wedge him/herself in. You paid for the seat so putting the arm rest down guarantees you get your whole seat.
