MathGuy2 Posted October 22, 2002 Share Posted October 22, 2002 Laugh? That's not funny at all - read what happened to her carefully. That ought to hurt. In my opinion, if the obese person cannot stay within his/her seat, he/she should hold the responsibility - either buy another seat or pay the money to the plaintiff. Otherwise, the airplane should enlarge the seat size - but that would cause less passengers per flight and hence more cost. Or better yet, let the airplane put about three "fat seats" in the back. They cost the same - for the shame of sitting there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MathGuy2 Posted October 22, 2002 Share Posted October 22, 2002 How'd you like it if you were the passenger who was squished? Or the company that had to pay? To my knowledge, you don't tell the company you're obese before you get on the plane...and overbooking planes is a common practice. Totally off-topic: "Waffen-SS, The German Elite Star Wars God." I don't think you intended your signature to be read like that. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hinata Posted October 22, 2002 Share Posted October 22, 2002 :rotflmao: [COLOR=blue] SORRY... I don't really mean to laugh but it is a big problem that has been happening with the airlines know...People who need two seats should get two seats but I don't believe that they should pay double the price...I feel that is a total rip-off!!!!!

Manic Webb Posted October 22, 2002 Share Posted October 22, 2002 I think obsese people should have two seats, but they shouldn't pay double price. Maybe they could get the second seat for half-price. As for that woman... I don't think they airline was trying to do enough for her when she was being squashed to death. If the woman was complaining about the passenger next to her cutting off her air supply and pushing her kidneys into her feet, then the flight attendants could have at least seen if there was someone who was willing to trade with her. Someone with a stronger skeletal structure or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rancid Posted October 23, 2002 Share Posted October 23, 2002 [COLOR=blue]So that's who was screaming underneath my armpit, I thought it was just air escaping from my fat rolls... I'm sorry I couldn't resist....I guess that shows you that we need to get fit, instead of being overwieght couch-potato slobs.[/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Posted October 23, 2002 Share Posted October 23, 2002 [size=1] That is not funny at all. I don't know why people laugh at that kind of thing. I feel sorry for both people. I would hate to get squished like that and have it ruin my holiday. And especially for the obese person. How embarrassed and humiliated that person must of felt. I don't see what is so funny about it.[/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
