Jumbo american jet passenger...

[Deimos]

saw this in the paper today, seriously man, how could anyone not have a problem with this...

A man far too big for his seat is pictured blocking half the aisle of a flight.

The snap was put online by a hostess thought to be from American Airlines.

She was furious the passenger was squeezed into one seat instead of being made to pay for two.

Another flight attendant wrote online: "He's a major safety hazard in an evacuation."

Don't fancy using that arm rest again, either...

I saw this on some site which hosts funny pictures. I thought it was old >.<

I dunno about having to pay for two due to his size. Maybe being restricted to only window seats would be a better idea. (In the interest of safety, anyway)

Leaving whom to give up his seat in favor of sitting on the floor?

Him or his likeness should pay triple for a certain "fat seat" that gets required by law by the gov, which either needs to be installable modularly, to replace ordinary seats, or be available otherwise in any plane, for any flight in a fitting number, for maximum barrier free flying.
With this "fat seat" taking up approximately the space of four ordinary seat spaces, no one would be discriminated and everyone enjoy maximum leg freedom and no cuts to security, or stroke risk from bad circulation.

Have you ever had to sit next to a ridiculously obese person before on an airplane? I have. It's not fun.

Their bodies will literally take up a good 10-20% of your seat, if not more. I'm thinking, "What the Hell, I paid for my seat so I expect to have full use, not some sucka who can't even control his own eating who pays for one seat and yet gets his seat in addition to a good percentage of my seat."

Not to mention it's a hella safety hazard.

Airlines are starting to require fat passengers to purchase two seats if they're too big. If they didn't, then they get asked off the plane. Good going airlines, IMO.

I feel bad for the guy sitting right next to him.
Edit: If you think thats bad have you ever sat next to your mom on a plane with a hot girl in the next seat. I have not only that she kept freaking lying her head on me and taking up all my space rage. I'm never getting on a plane with her again rages some more.

That sounds like a bit of a better idea. Special seating.

I haven't ever been on an airplane, actually. Can't say I know that discomfort.

I usually sleep on airplanes, but it's pretty uncomfortable to try and sleep when there's someone's fatty leg seeping through the space between the seat and the armrest and it touches you no matter how far you scooch your own butt to the left of the seat. It's not pleasant. And it doesn't matter how skinny you are. The fat just keeps coming for you.

It's great fun.

With all that competition craze, I am just waiting for them to introduce the extra "toilet guy" prices, where you spend the flight in the stall and simply have to get up and make space for everyone who needs to go.

It's messed up, really. On most short range flights, the stewardesses don't even have places to seat anymore now, they strap themselves to the wall when starting and landing and have stand for the whole flight, in a non separated compartment, guess where; Right in front of the flipping toilet, so they have to move out of the way, for everyone who has to make their way there.
To let that fat dude in, the probably have to crawl over the top of him, lol.

I usually sleep on airplanes

Me too, until they started cutting back on air condition to save kerosene and I arrived with fever and angina pektoris (and no I am not a risk type person, or smoke) on the destination twice.
Now I try to stay awake and never forget to plan in an extra layer of clothing to put on, before I freeze to death.
