I'm sure even skinny people are scared of these. At least I am...

People need to remember that manners are free. I once met a cyclops and didn't make a thing about it.

As I mentioned on the "towels" post - using double or triple the material to create clothing that would "fit" an obese person costs double or triple the materials-cost to the company making it. Either companies are going to have to charge more for larger clothing sizes, as they literally use way more material to make them, or the cost of everyone's clothing, including normal-sized ones, are going to have to go up in order to cover the costs of manufacturing clothing sized for obese people.

Let's be explicitly clear: @jaebaeofficial you are not the victim here.

It's not a ridiculous comment when said obese person is literally spilling over into half of my seat .

Who thought this would be a good topic?? Non-obese people will be afraid of down votes, while obese people are ether in denial (I'm not fat, I'm just thick), or don't want to come out admitting they don't like having to buy 2 airline seat tickets for their un-accommodated booties? In case I get downvoted to death, it was fun while it lasted (leaving snarky comments). Btw, my profile pic was from before Covid. From the pandemic comfort foods, menopause, my rheumatoid arthritis, and my lower back now needing multi-level vertabrae fusion, I gained 30 lbs, but am looking to get more active once I am allowed to after my fusion surgery. So, I am not sure if I would classify myself as in denial or plus sized yet

I feel like half of these complaints completely overlook the fact that there is limited space on a plane to begin with.

The amount of fat-shaming comments on this are staggeringly disappointing. I foolishly thought humans on BP were better than this.

If that's something you worry about, perhaps it's time to make a change? When something as normal as peeing is a problem, you're the problem.

Has that really ever happened?

I’ve seen people on my 600 lbs life sit on toilets just fine.

Wow, that toilet looks uncomfortable...

I mean, if your worried that your going to break a freaking toilet.. shouldn’t you maybe look a bit inwards and try to change things for yourself, instead of blaming everything else around you?

No! My mum taught me not to seat on any public toilet (just at ours, grandmas, aunties...). It's more difficult but healthier.

Shouldn't sit on a public toilet anyway, you squat

You shouldn't worry about that fact.... If it brakes, it's not because of your weight, it's because the designer didn't think it through and didn't calculate the hold of a hanging toilet for more weight to keep.

Buy your own and take it with you!

This used to bother me, the little fold down desks on the uni seats too. Then I lost weight…

Downvote me into oblivion, but I will die on this hill: most of the time, obesity isn't a disability in the same way that cerebral palsy is. Or being paralyzed, needing a wheelchair due to spinal/brain damage, only having one leg (or none), birth defects, having had a stroke or injury that results in brain damage, being blind, etc. Many of my family members are morbidly obese, and none were born that way. All of them became obese due to over-eating. While it's not always their FAULT that they became addicted to food, it's their responsibility to lose weight. It is not the world's responsibility to make everything accommodating for obese people. I've struggled with drug addiction, so I KNOW what addiction is like and how hard it is to change and get healthy. But saying it's a "disability" that you can't help or change is absolutely untrue. (Final disclaimer: yes, there are medical conditions that cause obesity without massive caloric intake. Most obese people are not obese due to that.)

Are bunk beds in the list because plus sized people are complaining about not being able to use the top bunk??

Book a queen/king room at the time of booking. If the hotel tries to force you into a room with two twin mattresses instead, demand the room you paid for (king/queen bed). You paid for the king/queen bed, you should GET the king/queen bed!

Two words: Bath sheets🙌

Really, why do they do this, it’s not like they run out of metal or something.

You don't have room to move even if you are skinny scrawny!

Try 'can't even get into the pool because it has no wheelchair hoist' that's the case for like 95% of hotel pools, even ones with accessible rooms! Least obese people can sit on the floor/ still access the pool!

It just happens to lots of people being overweight has nothing to do with it. I'm skinny and every flight I get pulled aside by airport security for additional screening, apparently I must look dodgy

It's a plane they ain't gonna make em wider because you are fat.

Try a product like Megababe Thigh Rescue. There are also anti-chaffing fabric thigh bands. How do I know? /used to be obese. Practically speaking, it's hard work, and psychologically there's constant body disphoria.

as a former fat woman who struggle this A LOT. Since childhood with awful comments an rejection let me tell you: its your life, that’s no way to live, we both know you want to feel better, i was not happy, ir hurts every day. I learned at the hard way hurting my self worried of what others see. They are not important, probably never see them again, you need to do it for you, not for others opinions. I know how hard it is, even coming from my mom who don’t even want to sit next to me on an airplane because she was ashamed of me. It’s not normal been so beautiful and young and need to use oxygen, if you need to talk I’m here, trust me you are not alone. I’m 35 now and I don’t care if anyone sees my cellulitis, scars, stretch marks, I love them because now I’m feeling better, that’s the only think that matter, the way I look to myself, no by others.

You have to bring your heavy oxygen machine with you, and you're wearing open toe sandels. Why would you want to hike?
