Baffles me that someone would refuse to take responsibility for an issue that is only occurring because they are present, but we are dicks for not accommodating his size meanwhile he couldn't care less about how his problems affect us as a totally unrelated party. And then have the god damned nerve to call us "those people" for not just submitting. Un F'ing believable.

How about I park my truck halfway into your parking space, scratch your car doors, then tell you to suck it up? I mean, you wouldn't discriminate against trucks, would you? I might be offended if you insult my beautiful luxury SUV. Have a problem with it, take it up with the guy who designed the small parking space.

This is outrageous!
Racism and highhandedness by airlines especially in the US is despicable, appalling and contemptible.

No, agreed. There should be a better system to make sure it's known before boarding.

I paid for my space as well. Sorry that it makes some people uncomfortable that I take up most of it. Guess it's intimidating.
Do you think I look forward to sitting in a cramped space for hours at a time? I can only imagine what it'd feel like to be humiliated publicly.

They actually shrunk the sizes to what they are today.
Regardless, part of the issue is airlines like that. Spirit is in the US and is cheap as well. The one time I flew it because I had to, the company paid for the economy plus with extra leg room. It's first come first serve seating and they overbooked that class and I had to sit in a regular seat. That's the flight I mentioned that my feet werent on the floor. I sucked it because I needed to get to my destination for work but I can imagine thatd create a bigger issue if I didn't fit in the seat width wise.

This is why I said it's the airlines causing the issue. They have been making the seats smaller and smaller while the average person is becoming larger.
