Today, I was forced to spend an extra $318 for another plane ticket to Dallas. The ticket wasn't for my daughter, my mom, or my sister, but for the quarter of my butt that apparently needs its own seat. FML

Today, I paid $140 extra to get more comfort during a flight. The man behind me was so tall that his legs didn't let me recline the seat, and complained every time I tried to during the night. FML
Today, I found out that my dad paid for my sister's friend's airplane ticket so she could attend my sister's wedding. I would have been there myself, but I couldn't afford the airplane ticket. FML
Today, I had to spend a long bus ride with my chest pressed against the window, because some mammoth of a woman decided to squeeze her double wide ass into my seat. FML
Today, I was supposed to fly home for my dad's funeral, but the woman in the seat next to me was so obese, her bulging flesh left absolutely no way for me to sit in my seat. I complained to the stewardess, who then forced me to leave the plane just for raising my voice in frustration. FML
Today, I spent the busiest travel day of the year in the busiest airport in the world trapped between the decision to leave the terminal bathroom or shit my pants. Yes, I missed my flight. Sorry, mom. FML
Today, for an eight-hour flight to Copenhagen, Denmark, I paid extra to get a seat offering more leg room. Unfortunately, the man behind me was so tall, his knees were pressing against my back the entire flight. FML
Today, my daughter found out there was a vacant seat left in first class on our flight and damn if she didn’t pounce on the opportunity to get bumped up into it so fast, because she, “like, deserved a break.” She left me in economy class for a 10-hour flight with her 3 year old and 1 year-old with teething pain. FML
Today, I'm stressing over travel plans yet again. My wife wants to fly standby but the changes in our plans stress me out so much I would rather spend the money. FML
Today, I was flying back home from college with my Mom. At the airport, the ticket agent tells us she only has one ticket listed for Margaret. My mom and I have the same name. American Airlines thought a Margaret had bought two tickets by mistake, so they cancelled one of the transactions. FML
Today, I spent 900 dollars on a ticket for my boyfriend to visit me and he missed the flight. FML

well you gotta feel sorry for the person who might have been sat next to you if you hadn't bought the ticket. They would only get 3/4 of a seat for their butt otherwise :P

of course you need to pay extra. nobody fits next to your fat ass so they have one less seat to sell

The airline can't make money if they let everyone with a big tushie occupy more than one seat for normal price. If you're preventing someone from using the seat beside you, you are bad for business and need to pay the price as if someone else were sitting there. If you occupy more than one seat because of body fat, it's time to take the blame for your fat ass and not blame it on your "naturally large" body frame or whatever excuse people are using these days.

Lol @ 172. Seriously? I think those "medical setbacks" that cause people to become overweight are nonsense. It's ALWAYS poor lifestyle. For some people, they might have to work harder than others to shed those pounds but its definitely not impossible. If it was a genetic disease, why are there so many more obese people today than say a hundred years ago? Unless the fat people are bunnies, society is just giving names and excuses to diseases to make people feel it's ok to be big.

I wasn't saying all fat people have genetic diseases or whatever, but it does happen. My grandpa injured his back, neck, and shoulder and gained a lot of weight. He was working when he slipped on some ice. Is that his fault? Or how about my dad's girlfriend who was on medication that caused weight gain while she had an injured knee from work? What about people who are too depressed to get out of bed?

this is probably bullshit. they don't charge you for two seats they can just move you ro the back of the plane cause there is always an extra seat

alright so he's fat that doesn't matter maybe he has a medical problem that causes him to gain weight. I know a few people like that so stop calling him fat cause you don't even know who he is or how he lives his life.

This website literally asks its readers to judge the OPs. If this one can't handle it, he shouldn't have posted it or should avoid reading the comments. Simple.

When I hear the term " big boned" I picture a stocky, muscular person. Big boned is not a way to describe an obese person, they're just fat.
