You cannot seat next to them because you have no room and on top of that you get a dirty look!!! I have nothing against overweight people by the way . On the plane they have to book 2 seats.

Hi Goldfish,
I must agree. I am only of averagage build, and about 10 stone, which seems OK, but I had to squeeze into a diminishing space on a flight to Crete recently, as the lady next to me, hogged every bit of seating, as she was double my weight & size.
Not fair.
Then on the London tube, we are all squashed together for a short trip when this most rotund item, sweating & puffing tries to squeeze on.
He was vast, so some brave soul pushed him back out onto the platform. He received a ripple of applause.
So yes, if you are vastly overweight due to your own habits, and not a medical condition, you become a nuisanse to others, and should book two seats.

ike Bata or Yakka which final a pair of squillionth of the time. i'm no longer announcing that Pacific manufacturers went around it the perfect way and specific, some form of equipment could be obtainable for the staff. issues are hard throughout. they do no longer look to be the only ones dropping jobs interior the financial down-turn. The mining industry has lost greater jobs with the aid of fact the crash than Pacific manufacturers does, the version is the media jumped on the Australia Made thought. What can they leap on for the mines?!? If youre gonna provide up procuring Pacific manufacturers or insist on procuring Australian then do no longer circulate to Macdonalds or Hungry jacks, or Woolies, or a sort of outlets like loopy Clarkes and The Warehouse who specially sell imported manufacturers and a few of them are easily solid. loopy Clarkes is going into recievership so even even though it places an end to that business enterprise and their imports. which will provide up Aussie infants having a gamble at after-college artwork and hundreds will lose their jobs, yet howdy, you wont be helping distant places-own

With the exception of height and bone mass, everyone has a choice on how large they are, in regard to being overweight or even obese. It's a lifestyle choice, not a poverty issue, as it is possible to buy healthy foods very cheaply. I do it. It can be done.
I don't like being crowded out by larger people on buses either. Planes are worse because of the length of time spent in the seats.
Personally, I find myself discriminated against because I am small and thin. People almost never criticize an overweight person to their face because everyone knows it would be rude, but nobody thinks anything is wrong with criticizing a thin person to their face, and telling them to "go eat a sandwich" or some such equally ignorant remark.
That is equally offensive and I have received that from people more than once, so when it comes to obesity, which is a SERIOUS health condition, I have no problems saying that the person is living with their own errors, caused by their own bad personal choices. It is an extreme minority of obese people who actually have medical reasons for their health issues, the majority simply make atrocious food choices.
That's just my two cents, and I don't expect anyone to agree with me.

they pay their money the same as everyone else and are entitled to sit. on a bus it makes more sense they sit so people are able to get past. what i find disgusting is i get charged for full fare going half distance not only that where i live 54 seats and 34 standng is legally acceptable even though if i have to stand i pay full fare. whats fair about that?

Woo luckily I'm small sized.
Anyway sometimes if some bigger size ppl. really occupied & it's hard for them to control; I would personally switch seat or request for a switch if possible.

Do you think it is fair that shops highlight oversize sections for their clothing?
Do you think it is fair that the press vilify overweight people?
Do you think it is bigoted that science now states that overweight couples are encouraging the obesity gene to be continued?
Do you think that you are slightly naive for asking this question without considering all the abuse and derision certain parts of society throw at them?
Why is it that healthy foodstuffs are so expensive?
What is your problem, and will it go away?

A child is half the size as an adult so they pay...HALF...If an adult is 2 times the adult size they should pay....DOUBLE! Think about it logically. To be honest would you like to be sandwiched between 2 overweight persons on a long haul flight or train journey? CRISPY?

To cram more people on public transport the seats are way to small ...people are much bigger than several decades ago but operators/airlines seem to ignore that...I wonder why?
