(Boston I think). I was unhappy to find out that I would need to fall
asleep again but the worst part came when a 300 + pound female sat in and around her seat next to me. Not only were her arms so huge as to prevent her from keeping the arm adjacent to me away from her, but the sounds from breathing problems and who knows what else was way too much for me to get any rest at all. Yup, been there- 400+ pound guy in aisle, me in middle, hubby in window seat (he's not small either, but not really a fattie- just a big guy, so I couldn't squeeze into part of his seat.) Anyway, the 400 lb fattie smelled bad too. It was so difficult for him to get up (he could barely squeeze into the aisle) that I stayed in my seat for the entire 5 hour flight, but I didn't have to pee too bad anyway, since I couldn't easily reach my water bottle. Dude was spilling over his seat so much, I couldn't move. Found out he was going to meet, for the first time, the girl he had met online and was supposedly in love with. I felt kind of sorry for him, wondering how she was going to react when she saw what he really looked (and smelled) like. I hope it worked out okay. |

I can't keep these huge people from flying next to me, but I can make sure that I don't count on using flight time to get my sleep. dumbass, take a far east airline, like korean airlines. the risk of being squeezed by fatties is far less. |

Maybe she knows, and is herself probably a big woman. That's where the internet is valuable- people who are overweight, let's face it, are not going to be the center of attention at a party or a bar. WHere are they supposed to meet people? THe internet is perfect in that way. You actually get totalk to someone before they see you; lots of fat people have met mates that way. Why not? |
