hahahahahhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaI know what you mean!
--- am I right, ladies?
are you a magnet for the babies?
on a more serious note - if that is really the issue that the babies don't want to stop crying or can not fall asleep when near you - maybe they do not like your cologne
I figure the reason bawling tots are attracted to me is the same reason bawling yammerers come sniffing around after my posts.
You produce breast milk?
MAN VICIOUSLY DEGRADES THE OBESE PASSENGER HE HAD TO SIT NEXT TO, DEMANDS COMPENSATION IN VIRAL LETTER TO AIRLINE
An unpleasant flight can easily put the nicest person in a foul mood. However, one man went to the extreme, personally attacking the obese man who he was seated next to in a hateful letter to Australian airline Jetstar.
Airline passenger Rich Wisken reportedly wrote on a blog that he paid an extra $25 for an exit row seat, hoping to have some extra leg room. He was unpleasantly surprised to be seated next to an overweight man, who he refers to in the letter as a fleshy boulder who smelled like blue cheese and a Mumbai slum.
Wisken says he tried to get a new seat, but was unsuccessful.
I made my way back to Jabba the Hutt (the blob creature in Star Wars) and spent the remainder of the flight smothered in side-boob and cellulite, taking shallow breaths to avoid noxious gas poisoning, he wrote in the letter to Jetstar.
Later in the letter, Wisken also complained that two days later his flight to Melbourne was cancelled, as was a rescheduled flight. The mans third attempted flight was reportedly delayed for two hours.
Jetstar responded by sending him a $100 voucher as compensation, according to the Daily Telegraph.
While many frequent fliers will certainly be able to sympathize with a bad traveling experience, others will certainly agree that no human being including the most obese among us deserves to be degraded the way Wisken degrades the obese man in the letter.
Read the entire letter below:
Dear Jetstar
Do you like riddles? I do, thats why Im starting this letter with one. What weighs more than a Suzuki Swift, less than a Hummer and smells like the decaying anus of a deceased homeless man? No idea? How about, what measures food portions in kilograms and has the personal hygiene of a French prostitute? Still nothing? Right, one more try. Whats fat as f***, stinks like s**t and should be forced to purchase two seats on a Jetstar flight? Thats right, its the man I sat next to under on my flight from Perth to Sydney yesterday.
As I boarded the plane, I mentally high-fived myself for paying the additional $25 for an emergency seat. I was imagining all that extra room, when I was suddenly distracted by what appeared to be an infant hippopotamus located halfway down the aisle.
As I got closer, I was relieved to see that it wasnt a dangerous semi-aquatic African mammal, but a morbidly obese human being. However, this relief was short-lived when I realised that my seat was located somewhere underneath him.
Soon after I managed to burrow into my seat, I caught what was to be the first of numerous fetid whiffs of body odour. His scent possessed hints of blue cheese and Mumbai slum, with nuances of sweaty flesh and human faeces sprayed with cologne Eau No.
Considering I was visibly under duress, I found it strange that none of the cabin crew offered me another seat. To be fair, its entirely possible that none of them actually saw me. Perhaps this photo will jog their memories.
Pinned to my seat by a fleshy boulder, I started preparing for a 127 Hours-like escape. Thankfully though, the beast moved slightly to his left, which allowed me to stand up, walk to the back of the plane and politely ask the cabin crew to be seated elsewhere. I didnt catch the names of the three flight attendants, but for the purpose of this letter, Ill call them: Chatty 1, Chatty 2 and Giggly (Ive given them all the same surname Couldnotgiveash***).
After my request, Chatty 1 and Chatty 2 continued their conversation, presumably about how s*** they are at their jobs, and Giggly, well, she just giggled. I then asked if I could sit in one of the six vacant seats at the back of the aircraft, to which Giggly responded, hehehe, theyre for crew only, hehehe. I think Giggly may be suffering from some form of mental impairment.
I tried to relocate myself without the assistance of the Couldnotgiveas*** triplets, but unfortunately everyone with a row to themselves was now lying down. It was then I realised that my fate was sealed. I made my way back to Jabba the Hutt and spent the remainder of the flight smothered in side-boob and cellulite, taking shallow breaths to avoid noxious gas poisoning.
Just before landing, I revisited the back of the plane to use the toilet. You could imagine my surprise when I saw both crew only rows occupied by non-crew members. I can only assume Giggly let them sit there after she forgot who she was and why shes flying on a big, shiny metal thing in the sky.
Imagine going out for dinner and a movie, only to have your night ruined by a fat mess who eats half your meal then blocks 50% of the screen. Isnt that exactly the same as having someone who cant control their calorie intake occupying half your seat on a flight? Of course it is, so thats why Im demanding a full refund of my ticket, including the $25 for an emergency row seat.
Im also looking to be compensated for the physical pain and mental suffering caused by being enveloped in human blubber for four hours. My lower back is in agony and I had to type this letter one-handed as Im yet to regain full use of my left side. If I dont recover completely, Ill have to say goodbye to my lifelong dream of becoming Air Guitar World Champion. If that occurs, you will pay.
To discuss my generous compensation package, email me at: [email protected], or tweet me at: @RichWisken
No regards,
Rich Wisken.
Man Viciously Degrades the Obese Passenger He Had to Sit Next to, Demands Compensation in Viral Letter to Airline | TheBlaze.com
Give me a break. Mr. Wisken didn't say anything to the obese man. The writer seems to think he was personally insulted.
Plenty of fat people are fairly strong...that doesn't mean I want to sit next to them, but they could certainly handle an emergency exit!
And in an emergency they can act as a flotation device.

Fat airline passengers 'should pay more' - Telegraph
Fat airline passengers 'should pay more'. Fat passengers should pay more for their plane tickets, a former airline executive has said.
Tony Webber, who worked as an economist for Qantas for seven years, said that overweight passengers were pushing up airlines fuel bills.
Mr Webber, who now runs his own consultancy firm, said that costs were going up not just because of rising jet fuel prices but "because the average adult passenger is carrying a bit more heft."
Writing in an Australian newspaper Mr Webber added: "The rationale is simple. The fuel burned by planes depends on many things but the most important is the weight of the aircraft. The more a plane weighs, the more fuel it must burn.
"If the passengers on the aircraft weigh more, the aircraft consumes more fuel and the airline's costs go up.
"In turn, the airline will need to lift airfares to recover these additional costs. And when they do, the burden of these higher fees should not be lumbered on those who are shedding a few kilos or keeping their weight stable."

In rural Indonesia, Mr Webber wrote, airlines weigh passengers as well as their luggage before they board the plane.
Elsewhere a number of airlines already make obese passengers pay more if they cannot fit in a single seat, including Virgin Atlantic.
Continental also requires passenger to be able to fit in the seat with both armrests down, they also have to be capable of securing a seat belt with only a single extender.
Southwest Airlines, an American budget carrier, also has a detailed customers of size policy in its terms and conditions.
It requires passengers who cannot fit in a single seat to buy another. It has ruled out the idea of installing a few larger seats in the cabin to deal with its larger customers.
In Europe, Air France has also started demanding passengers pay for a second seat if they do not fit into one, otherwise they will not be allowed on board for safety reasons.
British Airways also has a policy in which passengers who are unable to fit in a single seat are first given an extension seat belt free of charge.
If they are still too large, then they will be expected to buy another seat.
The problem of obesity has proved a far bigger problems for airlines in the United States. On at least one flight there were insufficient seatbelt extenders to deal with the number of obese passengers on board.
Overweight passengers have, on occasion, even been bumped from full flights because there is no room for them on the plane.
However on another occasion a passenger was forced to stand throughout a seven hour flight from Philadelphia to Anchorage, Alaska after being seated next to a morbidly obese man.
Last year another passenger deemed as being overweight was escorted off an Air Transat flight from Gatwick to Toronto to see his dying aunt, because he was unable to afford the £928 demanded by the airline for two seats.
I like the idea of pay by the pound.
As I have said before , would you speak this way if the obese people were your parents?
HAHA you fly commercial.

I like the idea of pay by the pound.
The last time I flew, I had to pay $35 for overweight baggage but the guy checking in next to me didn't have to pay any extra. I weigh 145 and he was well over 300. I would go for paying by the pound.
As I have said before , would you speak this way if the obese people were your parents?
Yes I would.
I have relatives who are obese. Not due to some glandular problem or hormones, due to eating shit, and too much of it, all their life. One travels fairly frequently for business. I do not know how they fit into the plane seat. They are 400lbs or more. Huge in the butt. Must be very uncomfortable. One is scheduled for gastric bypass surgery soon. They haven't worked in several years, are on disability. One managed to eat themselves into adult onset diabetes. Nom, nom, nom.
As I have said before , would you speak this way if the obese people were your parents?
My mother was morbidly obese. It finally killed her.
What would you say to a parent eating herself to death?
Stahp.
HAHA you fly commercial.
Not me. If I cannot drive somewhere, I do not need to be there. It really is that simple.
There is clearly a distain and rage toward morbidly obese people
Their addiction to food is not to be used as an excuse for poor behavior and being inconsiderate of others.My mother was morbidly obese. It finally killed her.
What would you say to a parent eating herself to death?

There is clearly a distain and rage toward morbidly obese people, one that is probably never expressed face to face, except for possibly giving people nasty looks or groaning and moaning when you have to deal with them, especially on a plane. But, they are still human and deserve to be treated humanely.
I wonder about this idea of them being so bad they deserve so much distain and hatred. They are clearly addicted to food, if they are eating themselves to death, no different than being addicted to cigarettes, alcohol or drugs. People who smoke continue to resent any controls or limits put on cigarettes but then turn around and sneer at another type of addiction; but, the people who smoke are smoking themselves to death. Same for drugs and alcohol. Smokers and alcoholics tend to be thin, but they are no healthier than the obese.
I don't have any friends, have never had any friends, who are obese as is described in this thread. I have to admit, such people make me uncomfortable, and, as well, I wouldn't have much in common with someone who was obviously so inactive as someone that heavy. I've been around colleagues who are heavy like that, and one thing I know is that they walk very slowly, compared to how I walk. I can't stand to walk slowly and wouldn't be comfortable at all doing stuff with someone where you have to walk at a snail's pace. Or watching someone constantly eating a lot of junk food or really fatty, unhealthful food.
But, I think their habits are an addiction, no different than smoking, drugs, and alcohol, and should be dealt with that way. Do, for example, hospitals and medical plans have treatments for this addiction? Does the medical community have programs for the addiction, the emotional addiction, not the over eating habit? Is there any compassion in the community for people with this addiction as there is for people who are addicted to cigarettes, alcohol or drugs?

I still say they need bigger seats, but if they want to charge by the pound, thinner people at least will have nothing to complain about when they are crammed next to a fat person, after all, they paid less.

Simple, but limiting.
There will be fistfights on aircraft.

And you can bet I'll be telling the flabby SOB that I paid half what he did.

Why?

They have those parties in my sons public school. Which bathroom does a hermaphrodite use?
The airline should never have seated another passenger next to the overweight man. You should expect a comfortable flight - not to be squashed between two tons of flab.
Unfortunately most people are fatasses now. What are they going to do, hire a staff of fat dispersion stewarts to assign seating?
IMO they should make the seats bigger.
