“I guess I’m nice like that but I’m sure she knew why”
Dude. People worry WAAAYY too much about crap. I can’t believe you had that little worry floating around your head all this time. This is why we have liberalism. It’s an extension of worrying WAAAYY too much about crap like that.
We need some kind of training system to get that crap out of people. Seriously.
A guy next to me in a class stank of B.O recently. I kept edging my chair away from him. I HOPE he knew why. BE NORMAL. It’s an AWESOME policy.
If that lady knew how disgusting she was, it would motivate her, rather than tiptoeing around her telling her it’s OK she is a whale.
Be normal.
Again, she was a sweet young teen girl. She had enough emotional crap to deal with than for me to push her over the edge and make her cry the whole flight.
If it were a smelly fat dude I would have not been so nice.
Kindness and liberalism are not the same thing. TSgt did the right thing by being kind to this overweight teenage girl. You can blame the girl for causing her own problem by overeating, but the girl probably already hates herself and likely was embarassed for the whole flight. Expressing disgust might motivate her to change...or to jump off a bridge.
