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

All you people saying "YDI for being fat". You're ******* dumbasses. YES, He CAN lose weight. But that's not going to take like 10 seconds. It takes months. Maybe he already started losing weight weeks before this happened. Who knows? Or he's trying to lose weight (because seriously, if you're so fat you occupy 2 seats, you DO realize you must lose some weight, don't you?) but it is too difficult for him. Or he's obese! So, I agree, your life sucks.

No one wants to sit next to someone spilling over in their seat. Stop eating so god damn much.

OP, you can sit next to me on the plane if you'd like, as long as you don't mind me using you as a pillow. I'm assuming you're clean and smell decent, though :)

Seriously... It may be the person's fault for being fat, but holy shit do you guys come off as ******* assholes for rubbing it in. I'm sure it sucks having to pay for an extra seat in a plane... Embarrassing also... It's bullshit... Cuz, you know, it's terrible to sit next to someone fat... Like you can contract their Fat AIDS or something... Get over yourselves... Skinny people take up less space anyway, and you can get a flight to most places in this country that takes less than 5-6 hours. So quit making people who hate themselves already feel more like shit and share a little of your seat...

It's awkward to sit closely to a stranger for 5-6 hours, and it's not fair to pay for space being taken up by someone else's ass. If the person is embarrassed by their weight, they should do something about it.

Imagine having to sit next to a person who takes up half of YOUR seat that YOU'RE paying for on a 5-hour plane ride. Even if you're not gonna get AIDS or something, simply breathing in that smell of sweat for 5 hours is enough, forget about trying to squeeze past them to use the bathroom. I think the OP needs to understand that and learn that he should have to pay for something he brought unto himself.

It doesn't matter how much space a skinny person is using; the point is, they paid for every inch of that space! It'd be one thing in a bus or subway, somewhere where the seat mate has an option to move or stand, but airplanes generally have pretty strict assigned seating. The smaller person has no option to get up and move. When skinny people are charged less than the average person, your point will be valid. Till then, it's just impolite to take something that someone else paid for. Besides, do you really think obese people are always assigned seats next to skinny people? No way. There are far more average-sizers who have to squeeze into a seat that's too small for them and another quarter of a buttcheek.

well why should someone else pay $300+ for only 3 quarters of a seat? not really an fml. if you mind paying extra then just drop a few pounds. but...even if ur dont mind...u should lose some anyways since that means ur really unhealthy...
