Ok, so I'm by no means a small chick. I'm a healthy size 16, and as my bf likes to put it... all T&A. That said, my booty still fits on one half of the BART seats, it still fits comfortably (ok, are plane seats EVER that comfortable?) on an airplane seat, and various other places.
Today, I was sat on. Literally. A Very Large Woman sat down next to me with an emphatic WHUMPH! Her ass was so big, part of her right leg was actually on mine. I was trapped! No where to go. At that point in time, getting up wasn't even an option... I started feeling claustrophobic and VERY uncomfortable.
Then I flashed back to a conversation one of my favorite dog/chat boards had about airlines requiring big people to pay for 2 seats if they could not fit comfortably in one. It was a pretty lively discussion. I am of the mind that you should have to buy two seats if you are that big, and make the person next to you squished. It's not fair to them.
So, I ask you fair readers... should this woman have stood up, or was it acceptable for her to sit on her seat mate?
I have interesting experiences on BART. Most are interesting in a not-so-good way.

Well, being the person who is too wide for most seats, I go out of my way not to crowd other people. It's my ass and I don't need to share with others. I find it incredibly rude. I try to find a seat by myself in the handicapped area because it's difficult for me to get up and down as it is. As for 2 seats on an airplane, hell yes I'm buying two seats. I flew Sardine Airlines to LA last month and having two seats was such a blessing. Plus, they let you on the airplane first!
ReplyDeleteBrandy, I appreciate your input. You're like me, realistic about what we got!
ReplyDeleteWhen I fly out of my local airport, I have to fly small commuters. Those seats are s-m-a-l-l!! What pisses me off more than anything is men who think their balls are too big to allow them to close their legs! Sir, I'm sure your junk is not that big - keep your legs on your side of the seat divider! Ugh!
ReplyDeleteClarese, ugh... the open legged junk guys KILL ME! I swear I want to draw a line in the virtual sand!
ReplyDeleteYeah... I'm good on the ass-spillage. If I wanted a lap dance, I would have paid for one. And Clarese... some of us just got big ole.... legs. haha.
