r/AlaskaAirlines names the fatty menace

Always armrest down…

Just step into the aisle right there, say “excuse me, sorry ma'am” and put the armrest down. When she complains about it, tell her politely you paid for the seat and you intend to use your seat, sorry if it makes her uncomfortable. And that if she can't fit in one seat she needs to purchase a second one.

It may be rude, but it is your seat and that's that.

Society needs to quit walking on eggshells in this silly effort to pretend that being morbidly obese has no meaningful negative impact on other people. You want to be a fat frick? Fine, go ahead. But if you literally take up the space of two people, then guess what? You should pay for two seats. The world isn't required to pander to you or play along with the delusion that you aren't overweight, just because it might hurt your feelings.

We live in a society

You were just being too nice. Been awhile since I've flown. I've had to tell the fats in the past that this shit isn't happening.

I'm generally very polite with people, but I think it's fair to push back against hostility. A fat taking my seat space is a hostile action.

It's not fat shaming to say, "Buy another seat. "

Why would you complain about an upgraded better situation? Human connection these days is at a premium, here you're getting the warmth of a large human for free, and you turn around to complain about it? Wut?

lol no one wants a tub of lard forced on them
