I used to be (also a middle class white female with no record)...until I was pulled over by campus police in college. The officer couldn’t have been more than a year older than me and attempted to flirt...but got pissy when I wasn’t going for it. When I pulled out my phone, he shouted “who are you calling?!” I

Right. Because no one who makes it into the NFL (or has any kind of power) ever mistreats women in ANY way. I mean...this explains everything!

“William doesn’t give a shit about my tits.”

Exactly. They’re not thinking with their vaginas. They’re using their brains. Ya know, like a man would!

Mkay, fine...I’ll walk you through this relatively simple idea just a little further, then I’m signing off and you can write another “make ‘em pay” comment to no one if you wish.

Sigh. It’s called a handicap and plenty of people do it. I feel like you’re ignoring reality now just to keep making your weird point. We get it, you’d rather have that extra seat for your purse or whatever. But making sure there’s enough room on the flight for everyone, big and small, is more realistic and

No, you must have missed my point about the license plates/handicapped privileges that these same people are able to obtain for their cars. It would be more than a “checked box” (this box you suggest in your scenario automatically raises the price of the ticket, which people are simply not going to check willingly).

What?! He just scooted in next to you? That’s so gross. I think I would just HAVE to say something in that case...if there’s a whole extra seat that’s supposed to be between us.

The point is: people who need two seats frequently do NOT buy them, therefore their seatmates have to suffer. Hypothetically, sure, everyone would be honest and pay for the exact amount of space they need without assuming it’s fine to crush another human who stays silent for fear of being a jerk. But that’s not our

But how are they going to get that payment out of people? No one is going to freely admit on Expedia that “oh by the way, I’m huge and I need to pay more.” It’s not going to happen. They’re going to book one seat like everyone else and just hope it works out.

As far as I’m concerned, I’m already “paying” for the airline’s greed and crappy design by being shoved up against a window because the seats are all child-size. Of course it’s not fair. But making someone pay for 2 seats because they’re fat is never going to work. The people will either 1) pay for one seat and just

It’s really the only thing I can think of without actually shaming the bigger person for their size. If they want people of all sizes buying tickets for air travel, they need to get over their greed (which is perfectly illustrated in those teeny-tiny seats) and offer up some solutions so no one hyperventilates against

No, not if the seats are available! Like I said in another comment, they design those seats too small because of their greed and this could be a small way they make up for it on occasion.

ALL SLEEVELESS SHIRTS SHOULD BE ILLEGAL ON AIRPLANES FOR MEN. If I have to come face-to-face with one more dude’s deodorant-caked clump of armpit hair while he shoves bags over my head, I’m going to do something terrible.

This is why they need to make 2 seats available when needed at no charge. It’s their fault for approving such shitty design.

Yuck!! That’s like those dudes who sit right next to you on the metro when there are plenty of empty rows. I always just get up and move, not speaking a word (other than “excuse me” when they’ve already spread their knees open) and move to one of those empty rows. A lot of times, they’ll say something like “I’m just

Ugh, come on, NO. I’ve been in this special kind of hell before and it really, truly feels like being shoved in a locker while no one does anything to help you. It’s not “judging” to despise the feeling of another person’s weight and warm flesh pinning you against a wall. It’s enough to give me a panic attack right
