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

Years ago on a 4 hour flight from NZ to Australia I was seated next to a morbidly obese woman. It meant that I could only use half the seat I paid for due to this woman pouring over the armrest and into my seat. I spent most of the flight pacing the aisle to relieve my back which was twisted painfully. I complained to the airline and was upgraded for my return flight. I no longer feel any sympathy for morbidly obese people who have to buy extra seats. We're all responsible for our own weight. Flying is uncomfortable enough. And no, I don't compare this discomfort to having someone who talks too much sitting beside me.

Not to mention the fact that it's just not very safe. If, God forbid, there was a crash, do you really think a morbidly obese person is going to be able to react quickly enough to let others pass?

Oh, **** off. Once you hit a certain weight, it's not easy to work out. Not that you should let yourself get that way, but things like depression, illness, genetics and whatnot can factor in enough to make it so that a person cannot work out. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for trying to maintain a healthy weight, but I'm realistic about it. Not every body can do so, and to so ignorantly tell somebody they should work out just because you do is rude and unrealistic. As long as you only eat when you're hungry and try to limit the fast/junk food, you should be okay. I don't have room in my apartment to work out, can't afford a gym membership, and right now it's too hot to even go for a walk where I live because I'm sensitive to heat and will vomit if I get too hot, so yeah, there are reasons people can't work out.

hey, if you're going to take up 2 seats why shouldn't you pay for 2? If everyone took up two seats and only paid for 1, how would the airlines make any money at all?

Awh. No matter how big they shouldn't make you pay for another seat. You shudve gotten a first class seat. Those are bigger than the normal :)

172- If you really are in a situation like that you can always do workouts in your living room at home. Somedays I have a lot of stuff going on but I always find time to work out at least 20 minutes a day. Sometimes it's doing jump rope in the garage, or it can be doing push-ups or other plyometric work outs in my living room. My point is that there is always something you can do. This is my third time trying to post this comment. *crosses fingers*
