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

YDI, sorry but I hate sitting next to some guy or girl that is oozing their body mass over into my seat. Think of it as an overweight baggage fee.

A overall solution for bigger people could be a bigger seat section

Yes, but then they couldn't fit as many seats on the planes, which would mean fewer passengers, which would mean less money. So thats PROBABLY not going to happen. If anything, the seats will probably get a bit smaller.

24: They already have that. It's called "first class." If this OP's being honest about only needing 1/4 of another seat, then a first class seat should've had more than enough room for him. A little research before buying any tickets could've prevented this; it might've been cheaper to just buy a first class seat to begin with if there was any possible risk of having to pay twice for coach. Sounds to me like his denial just cost him $318.

making bigger seats would just encourage fat people to stay fat. just eat healthy and exercise or expect to pay for 2 seats.

8 hours a day? That's not very good for you.

YDI. I would feel bad for someone who would have to sit next to you otherwise.

YDI. Nobody likes having to share part of their seat with a stranger on a plane. If you don't like it, then lose some weight.

there shouldn't be a big person section that stupid people are just to lazy to get fit or thin

I'm glad they did that I'd hate to sit by you if your butt was all up on my seat :/

why not buy a first class ticket than you would actually get service that doesn't suck and save cabbage

1st class would cost at least 4X more than another coach ticket... and you could probably do without the food and sodas!
