Airline Seats, Car Interiors and Amusement Park Rides are designed around the “average” size of an Adult.

I am 6'3” and weight 245. Comfort is a rare commodity when it comes to dealing with “average” size accommodations.

I’m at the other end of the spectrum. Short and obese.

I don’t expect to be catered to because of my weight.

I can’t help the height. But then neither can anyone else. I didn’t choose to be short.

Obesity is a choice.

It really is.

I was too short for amusement park rides until I was in my late teens. I didn’t whine and complain. It was what it was.

I also had and passed physics. So I understood WHY it was a bad idea for someone of my height to insist on being seated on those rides.

There is a huge (pun intended) movement afoot to make obesity a protected class. Heck no. The end.

This lady wants a seat all to herself (don’t we all!) and wants to insist she’s more special than anyone else just because she’s fat. Nope. Not falling for that one.

And speaking of car interiors. There are a goodly number of car models I simply can’t drive. My foot doesn’t reach the pedals even with the drivers seat pulled all the way forward.

Can I sue?

I’m dead if the airbag goes off in the car I can drive. I’m so close to the steering wheel. Can I sue?

Am I special enough to demand the manufacturers make a special car just for me for the same price as the assembly line cars for everyone else?

But I didn’t choose to be short.

I have chosen to eat what I eat and therefore weigh what I unfortunately weigh. Should I sue Kroger for letting me buy all that food?
