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

Autumn: Leaves and Laughter
When the leaves fall, the laughter rises. Discover autumn stories as crisp as dried leaves!
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

There should be special seats in the back for "big" people o.O Oh and how do they know someone will need an extra seat or not? Do they bring out a tape measure!??!

So he might have a medical condition, but very few cause you to get THAT large. My bet is that he's just lazy and won't stop eating. YDI, OP, and I would feel very bad for the person sitting next to you had they *not* made you get another seat. Now stop bitching about something you brought on yourself. *And* before I get bitched out for being insensitive or whatever, I've had the same teasing or as someone put it "psychological trauma" but opposite. For several years I was anorexic and was made fun of being so bony and pale and weak-looking, but no matter what I couldn't get myself to eat. I was so afraid of gaining weight. But you know what happened? My mom basically told me I was eating whether I liked it or not, she wasn't wasting money on therapy I didn't need. So I put my big girl panties on and got over it. It was hard, I vomited for weeks straight and started inflicting damage on myself, but I did it. So, before anyone says I don't know how hard it is to overcome something like this, I do.

all the more reason for you to know its wrong to tease. your mom is a good person for helping you overcome that. props to both of you, but maybe this person isnt as lucky to have someone say "put the fork down and lets go for a walk" life isnt fair, not everyone is as lucky as you. All these people calling him a fatass is more damaging then helpful. Maybe if people were nicer and could say "hey buddy, you should try eating healthier, get a workout partner and try something fun like dancing" or something else encouraging rather than "your fat you stink and no one wants to sit by you" then maybe he could overcome his problem too.

that sucks but I'm a guy who always gets stuck next to the big men and women... you have the right to be any size you want but you don't have the right to help yourself to part of the seat that I paid for. I am 100% in favor of these rules.
