This is hilarious to me. Lyft driver and she gets mad and sues.

There’s a reason why Lyft and uber have vehicle classes, to accommodate aggrieved passengers like that

This is why it matters whether your gig work classifies you as an employee or an independent contractor. If you are an employee, then your employer has to foot the legal bill when defending against such claims. If you are an independent contractor, then you get to dig in your pocket for legal defense.

After I graduated from WTI I started working at a Chevrolet dealership, had a customer come in wearing the tires out on his Geo Metro
Dude was 450+ lbs! It was comical to even think of him crammed in the car!
We couldn’t find enough weight around the shop to simulate him, so we had him sit in the car on the alignment rack as we literally modified the strut towers to get things to line up with him in the car!
He was embarrassed, but very grateful that we were able to get his car to stop wearing out tires!
That (gods I don’t want to call her a lady) thing…. Needs to understand BBW or not, she’s 500 pounds and physically the size of four healthy women! Spatial dimensions simply rule out her ability to fit in certain situations,… like private aircraft, doorways, or compact cars.

The article says it is a Mercedes sedan. My wife drives a C-Class Mercedes sedan and I can tell you there would most likely be damage to the door if someone that size tried to wrestle themselves in.

Deserve? Deserve to be comfortable on an airplane? I’ve personally refused to sit next to a guy that was bigger than these women, called the stewardess and said “Nope, Not Happening”, people around mad dogged me and “Felt Sorry” for the fat guy until I asked them if they wanted to trade me seats then it was like Crickets…

I actually have a lot of sympathy for people with weight problems. There can be a whole lot of serious physiological and psychological reasons why people can’t lose weight. It has to be incredibly challenging to deal with an abnormally large body in a normal sized world. I am fortunate to not have any significant issues. But I have a very persistent extra 10 pounds of my own that seems to keep coming back no matter how many times I put in the hard work to get rid of it.
But when I pay several hundred dollars for an already much too small and uncomfortable seat on an airplane I expect to at least get most of that seat to myself. It is unreasonable for everyone involved to expect you to share what you payed for.

Big difference between and extra 10# and an extra 200#.

Absolutely, it’s self inflicted. I had an extremely obese high school teacher, the little girls would say “I feel sorry for you Mr. Bennion” his response was golden “Everything you see here (pointing at his large gut) went through here (pointing at his mouth”

Yup. But it is way easier for me to loose that extra 10 than for someone to loose that extra 200. And yet I keep having problems keeping it off:(

We have fighters that will cut 20# in 3 months, it took me 14 months to cut 30# and it’s still a battle to keep it off.

They have to take the first step.
Not me.
And no one, especially not, me, should have to suffer from the consequences of their inaction.

My son’s Health and Wellness professor puts it perfectly:
"It’s not about this diet or that diet. It’s about good health choices (i.e. a healthy salad and a walk) vs bad health choices (i.e. the xl fast food meal) and we get to choose what those choices will be and live with effects of those choices. Every day. "

In used to eat salad everyday, walked a mile after work, and drank water, no sodas.
I ended up in the hospital with almost every symptom of a stroke.
4 days later I went home after being told I was exercising too much, drinking too much water, not eating enough potatoes and not enough sodium. I had depleted my body of salt and potassium.

Knowing the near-perfect balance is crucial.
My blood pressure is not ideal right now and I noticed something was off last week.
I’ve been neglecting exercise. Diet is easier to deal with.
