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

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.

I'm over 200 (though 6'2"), so I'm not sure I like this idea....

How about anyone who's sides stick over the arm rest. I have broad shoulders, so I try and upgrade to 1st class when flying, but I can work with that....what I can't is the person who overflows into the other people....kind of annoying.

Misbehaving kids are worse. I understand babies crying, but when the parent doesn't do anything it pisses me off. I had to tell a kid to knock it off because his mother was ignoring him while he literally threw himself into the seat back (which was then hitting me). The mom took no responsibility and pretended he wasn't doing it, so I then told her to start being a parent. The plane applauded and she acted shocked. I am definitely, "that guy". I've done it in supermarkets, malls, etc. If you can't control your kid, it doesn't mean I have to put up with it. You'd be surprised how quickly a parents acts when they get called out in front of people. I don't want to hear from parents that it is hard....deal with it.

i think airlines should give hot girls in skimpy dress discounts.

I think they should fine ugly fat people.

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?

Well, I am one of these disgusting fat people that you are complaining about. I always tell the flight attendant to see if there is a vacant seat that the person sitting next to me can move to so that they will be more comfortable. More often than not that person will say that they are comfortable and they don't want to move.

I've only had an issue with one jackass being rude to me on a plane and I offered to help him get off through the exit door and he shut the hell up.

Don't complain, just ask the flight attendent if they have any open seats so that you can make it more comfortable for the "fat" person. Be polite about how you say it and it won't be an issue.

Some airlines let you upgrade to first class for a low amount if there are any seats available, so upgrade if you can. I do that anytime I can so I won't inconvenience any of you concentation camp survivors.

I personally think the US should round up all the obese people in this country and put them out on a prairie somewhere in the hot sun and make them work their fat off.
Have you ever seen any of these people? First of all, they are lazy. They can't do any job that requries any exertion, as they are too fat to move their asses out of a chair.

They are also very unclean. These slobs find it difficult to fit into a bathtub and don't dare stand up in a shower for fear they will lose their balance and their goo-filled bodies will bring them crashing down. You've seen them sweating like pigs just by sitting under flourescent lights.

All they do is eat things like Twinkies and Ho Hos and bags full of Doritos for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. None of them can fathom a day without a Big Mac and think they will lose weight if they super-size everything but get a Diet Coke to go with it.

The time has come for the United States not to let any fat person get a job in our land.The time has come for every American to boycot any OBESE-owned business--such as their favorite business----Convenient Stores (lots of Slim Jims there_,Gasoline Stations (would never think of walking -- have to gas up),Laundry Mats (washing their tents they wear a daily chore),Resturants (food galore in there),Smoke stores (if you smoke, you might lose weight),and any other business that this LOW life's own that make them AMERICAN dollars.We should and will put a stop to these TOWEL WRAPPED FATTIES.It is a damn disgrace the we the AMERICAN public have towatch these stupid roly-poly adults and children parade around with a Twinkie with cream filling chanting and yelling and smiling. !BOYCOTT ANY AND ALL FATTY-OWNED BUSINESS"S IN THE US NOW! Do not hire these lazy chubs other than shoveling dead slobs to their grave.These type------all FATSOES should and will pay the price.THESE SLOBS COST ME MONEY AT BUSINESS TODAY AND AT THE MAJOR LEAGUE PARKS,LET ALONE HOW MANY FOOTBALL GAMES THIS WEEKEND! Honk your horn, if you want a AHAB THE WHALE TO SUFFER LIKE YOU DID TODAY! BOYCOTT THESE SOBS NOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

Hey Twiggy, I will be happy to meet you any place you want so you can say this shit to my face. I'll show you how lazy I am. Will I be considered lazy when I knock you slap out and then sit on you?
