I’m not saying lifters are the same as fat people, but I am going to side with the “if you take up two seats, you pay for two seats” argument.
I’m skeptical that having to pay extra airfare is anyone’s tipping point to stop lifting. Or being fat, for that matter.
People are retarded about their carry-on, though. Just put that shit sideways, what’s so confusing about it? [/quote]
Unless the bodybuilders we are talking about are close to 300lbs or so, I seriously doubt this is an issue that really requires another seat to be bought. Ronnie Coleman at his heaviest is not fitting in coach in one seat. I think even he knows that. However, I’m not paying for two seats simply because I need to lean over a little. If that’s the case, then tall people need to be charged extra for their feet ending up under my legs.[/quote]
You’ve got a good point there; a bodybuilder can move his offending expanse out of the other passenger’s way. I’m really more worried about an airline instituting a policy that everyone buying a ticket needs to get on a scale and if you weigh over X pounds or your BMI is over Y, you have to pay the fat tax regardless of everything.

I doubt you’ll have to worry about those 2 issues. The average american is a fat ass so they’d probably set the BMI very high. Otherwise they’d be requiring more than half their passengers to buy 2 seats or pay a tax. For bodyweight, they’d probably set it high like 300 lbs. Although there’ll still be some 5’ tall women with huge ass that take up 2 seats under that weight.

Yeah, it’s not the scale that says you’re too fat, it’s the arms on your seat that say so. If you don’t fit, you gotta pay.
Or else they could just make the doors to the plane exactly as wide as the seats. You don’t fit in your seat, you don’t squeeze onto the plane.[/quote]
Or the ass oozing out from the seat next to you…ugh.
X’s shoulders are definitely too big for a coach ticket. I can’t imagine how uncomfortable he must be in a plane.

It sucks. I usually just ask for an aisle seat so I can lean half way into the aisle…which sucks even more because I get bumped continuously the whole flight.
I seriously doubt most of the people here have that issue though. That is why I hate flying.
I personally think there is a big difference between shoulders being too wide…and some woman with an ass 3 times the size of a normal fat person. The former requires either leaning to the side or literally sitting forward in the seat the whole way…but two seats are generally not needed unless you plan to be in the air for several hours.[/quote]
This even happens to me on the train every day. I usually take the outside seat also.
I could stand to lose a few pounds around the waist, but it’s not my ass that’s giving me the problem here.
