Sure we’ll do that and charge you by the pound for the extra special handling surcharge ...

Step onto our plus-sized weighing machine ...

Put the fork down fatty. You are fat. You are not healthy. You are not beautiful. I don’t feel the least bit sympathy for you. When the person sitting next to you in a seat is ‘you’ you are too fat. Pay for your seats.

As a drunk.., I demand free booze on flights and someone to wheel me around the airports and carry me to my seat so I can stay in a drunken stupor. I demand FAA action....

This unhealthy obese person needs to just get real about her obesity

So now it’s “customer-of-size,” instead of morbidly obese.

Remember those metal frames they had to see if your carry on luggage would fit? Have one for passengers. You don’t fit? Buy an extra seat!

Make the metal detectors smaller. If you can't pass through the security machine, you need two tickets.

Years ago I was stuck in a middle seat between two obese folks—New York to LA flight.

It was so awful that I still have a fear of flying—not because of the “normal” reasons—but because a long flight can be so uncomfortable.

The cost of a first class ticket to avoid this is another deterrent to flying.

Although I’m not overweight in the least, those seats do suck pretty bad. They have decided to cram as many passengers into the plane without any concern about comfort.

We once had a 300-lb professional football player in our neighborhood, whose kid went to school with ours. When I invited their family over for dinner, I bought a specially sturdy dining room chair for him (and extra food), because they were guests. Later on, when I needed help with something manly, he came through for me.

But as for ticket-buying airline patrons, hey, lady, buy your own accommodations. Other travelers didn’t invite you, they don’t owe you, and you’re in no position to reciprocate any favors.

No doubt she will demand a free plus-sized coffin, as she will need it shortly.

Size costs money. Funeral homes in this area charge extra even for cremating a body over 300 lbs.

ALL extremely fat people I’ve dealt with are arrogant and demanding.

And many of them smell bad, too, because they can't reach their crevices or reach to wash or style their greasy hair. Fungus grows under the breasts and elsewhere. There was a youngish teacher of size in our local school, a blue-eyed blonde with the entitlement attitude. Once I was sitting in one of the low children's chairs at a meeting and she walked by, and her skirt trailed a ripe odor of urine. Yuck!

It is sad that traditional Christian names seem to be out of fashion for a few generations now.
