Today, I had to leave the movie theater early because I couldn't fit in the chairs. I guess I'll see it when it comes out on DVD. FML

Today, I was late to a sold out movie in the theater, so I had to shuffle in during the previews in the dark. I sat down in what I thought was the last vacant seat, but I'd really just sat in a small woman's lap. She was not happy. FML
Today, I went to the movies with some friends. During the movie, I really needed to pee but didn’t want to disturb anyone. So, I waited and waited. Finally, I couldn’t hold it anymore and bolted to the bathroom… only to get locked out of the theater in the process. The staff had to escort me back in during the end credits. FML
Today, I went to a movie with this guy. He was late so the only seats available were the ones in the very front which he refused to sit in. As we were looking for two seats, he spotted one near the back and sat down, leaving me to sit by myself in the front. FML
Today, I was having a rough day, so I decided to go to the movies to unwind. 15 minutes in, some assmunch behind me said "This movie sucks!" then dumped his drink over my head and ran out. FML
Today, stood in line for hours to see the new Harry Potter. Unfortunately, once inside the theater, I was stuck in the bathroom with the runs for the entire length of the movie. FML
Today, at my job as a movie theater attendant, my boss finally eased up and let me sit in on one of the movies. One woman kept laughing out loud every other line. After ten minutes of her braying like a dying horse, I got up and had her ejected from the theater. I'm a terrible person. FML
Today, I went to see a movie with 4 friends. I didn't realize that I was the only one who didn't have a date. The theater row had just enough room for everyone but me, I got to sit in back of everyone else while they were making out in front of me for 2 hours. FML
Today, at the cinema, I sat next to a guy who couldn’t stand a minute without laughing or making comments about the film. FML
Today, I was at the movies with my boyfriend when I really had to pee. I tried to get out of the aisle in a hurry so I wouldn't disturb anyone when I tripped, landing on the people in the row in front of me. FML
Today, I was at a movie theater. I heard some obnoxious people talking in front of me. After about 5 minutes, I began throwing popcorn at a group of suspected people. As I was escorted out, I realized that the obnoxious people were in the background of the movie. FML

I would say you deserve it, but we don't know the circumstances here. So in the nicest way possible, let this be motivation to lose weight. Do it the healthy way and you can only benefit. Good luck! :)

If I'm honest it's a YDI, although the seats could be small in general...

YDI for being a fatass.

Sometimes the seats in movie theaters are pretty small. I've read that some of the older theaters have seats designed for a 150 lb. person, even though the average American is closer to 175 lbs, and more than 2/3 of the country is overweight, so they'll be higher than 175. Regardless, OP didn't say the movie theater was stupid, he didn't call the seats small, he didn't start yelling at anyone, he didn't start blaming society or a medical condition for his weight. He just went home, sad :(. Have a bit of compassion, all you mean, nasty people.

If OP is overweight because of a disease: FYL If OP is overweight because they eat things that made them overweight: FYL as well I'm so, so sorry that this happened to you, OP, and I'm absolutely disgusted by everyone claiming that if you "made yourself fat", you deserve to be publicly humiliated. Truth is, obesity can be caused, directly or indirectly, by a number of physical and mental illnesses or by poverty, but that doesn't matter, because you have a right to your own bodily autonomy and you don't deserve to be questioned for it. If you're overweight, this sort of thing might happen simply because of our society, but it absolutely shouldn't. FYL indeed. Also, there are many theaters where you can lift up the armrests, and I've even seen some with "cuddle seats" that are twice as wide as normal seats. That may be something to look into. Good luck in the future, and please don't let all these negative comments get you down!

I get the message you are trying to say, but you should have proof read it because you said this person SHOULD be publicly humiliated...

From one heavier person to another, it's ok. We have all been there. Just give watching what you are eating a try and go from there. Working out for an hour is part of the battle, the rest is watching what's on your plate for the other 23
