Since when is fat a race? I don't find it unfair that people who are too big for a seat have to buy two. There is nothing worse than being sat down next to a cow on a long flight.

Personally, I don't like South West and so I don't fly them. But I can't say that their policy is racist.

I'm assuming that most of that hour was spent getting settled into their chairs, opening their cans of soda, and the like.

The existence of the written policy kind of dooms the plaintiff in the case.

This should have been on Judge Judy, not an actual court.

"Joel Drake, a Southwest employee, testified earlier Friday that Thompson accused him of being a "motherf--- racist pig" and wished that his family would die from cancer when he tried to explain the company’s policy to her."

WOW - Now that sounds like a hate crime - was Ms. Thompson arrested?

"NOLA resident?"

No. A NOLA resident would have demanded a free flight and free hotel accomidations upon arrival. They would have then blaimed Bush for letting them get so fat in the first place.

You know you're in trouble when the lard ass next to you needs a seat belt extender. I had one next to me who asked if he could raise the arm rest - I told him no, that was the only thing keeping him from spilling into my seat. He cussed me out soundly. like I cared.

Most likely not for his posts on FR. At least not on this thread.

I am sorry ma'am a boeing 737 is not the proper plane for you. We have a C-130H coming along in under an hour for you. We think we can squeeze you in the back.

If airlines charged a lower price and based it off seat occupancy + weight{range} then maybe fat Americans would work off some of the fat that is hanging off of their asses!

Saw a picture of this woman.

If someone told her to haul ass she would have to make two trips,so asking her to buy two seats seems fair.

Juries who deliberate for less than an hour should have the complaintant and lawyer jailed for the length of time the trial took.

I was at a Patriots game last year and had a fat a-hole SOB sitting next to me with his legs spread so as to extend across the front of my seat.

I had to keep asking him to please move his feet until the third time.

That's when I stood up and firmly told the pr!ck that I wasn't going to ask again and the next time his fat ass was going over the balcony.

I was so pissed that my face turned purple.

If some fat slob sat beside me on a plane and lifted the armrest, I'd slam it back down so hard, they'd get the message pretty damn quick.
