Sydney’s ordeal began during a three-hour flight where she found herself seated between two obese passengers. Feeling cramped and confined, she took to Twitter to express her frustration. With accompanying photos showing her squeezed into her seat, Sydney didn’t mince words. “I don’t care if it’s mean. My entire body is currently being touched without my consent. I can’t even put my arms on the armrests on either side because there’s no freaking space,” she tweeted.

Her tweets didn’t stop there. She continued to describe her experience in harsh terms, adding that her seatmates were “sweating on me,” which led to further public outcry and accusations of fat-shaming.

If you can't fit in the seat, either buy two(or three) or get the fuck off the plane.

Yep, that's my point. I'm paying for a certain amount of space. If someone can't fit in that space, they should have to pay for more.

Fat? Don't like it? Lose weight. Stop stuffing fudge cakes into your piehole!

If you overflow into another seat, you need to buy the seat.

I’ve been saying this for years. They need to just make the doors for the airplane really narrow.

The whales can be loaded into the cargo hold with conveyers.

I feel for her.  I've been in similar situations, but only on one side.  I had a manager who flew a lot, and he was the kind that when he walked to the gate, everybody there was praying that he wasn't sitting next to them.  He was getting to the point the seatbelt extension wasn't enough.

I'm a big guy, not up to seat belt extension range, and have a few inches left on the seat belt.  I'm broad in the shoulders, and usually take the window seat so I can twist against the side of the plane, to stay out of the center seat space.  If I sit in an aisle seat, they hit me with the cart every time, and I really think they do it on purpose.

I would be willing to bet when they approach the gate, knowing all eyes are on them out of fear, they feel ashamed.

She expressed a preference to use the $150 refund to donate to someone in need of a gym membership or fitness program, rather than accepting it as a goodwill gesture for her troubles.

I'm sure she will invoke the wrath of the "healthy at any size" fatties for that, but

One of the most pleasant,  most comfortable flights I've ever been on was the one where I had a middle seat, squished between a pair of Japanese girls that couldn't have weighed more than 95 pounds each.  The one on my left even fell asleep with her head on my shoulder.  

Fuck them fatties.  All women should strive to be like those two Japanese girls.  Thin, elfin, waiflike.  And sweet-smelling.

Fat shaming is a public service and this woman should be compensated as such.  I also can’t think of much worse than being stuck between two giant fucking ham globes - feeling their sweat, hearing them breathe and smelling their BO.

I’m sick of these motherfucking fatties on this motherfucking plane!

Not near as bad as a woman that flew beside me from DFW to San Antonio. I was seated when she came up. When she put her crap in the overhead and thats when the stench hit me.  This woman had the worst case of crotch rot smell going on that ive ever experienced.

Honestly it made me gag, i could even smell it when she was seated.

Last time I flew back from Hartford to Tampa I had a fat fuck flip up my arm rest and ask "do you mind?" I always pay for aisle seats to maximize my space. At 5'11 & 196 lbs I just want my space & peace.

I replied, "yeah I do" and put it back down. He actually said, "well I'm plus sized..." At that point, diplomacy went out the window and I told him to keep his plus sized (morbidly obese) ass in his seat.

Fortunately for him, a flight attendant heard us and moved him 25 rows back to the tail section.

Just say no to fatties...

I know a girl that does waxing, including Brazilian waxes.  She told me of a woman that came in who stunk so bad that this girl had to put up a small fan to blow the stench away from her so she could finish the job.

airlines should weigh everyone and make them sit in a seat right in the gate area,if fatties don't fit they buy 2  seats if available or have to wait, cargo hold is another option.

so let me get this straight..
if you cant smush your carry on bag into the little box/gauging device, they will charge you extra to check it.
but wont charge you extra if smushing yourself into a seat and dont fit.

they need to have a seat in the ticketing area like the carry on measuring display and gauge if YOU fit. if your fat hangs over the edges, you pay extra just like you would if your carry on doesn't fit in the measuring thing.
that extra money should go into a fund to remedy this issue.

I believe there is or was a discount airline that weighed people. Maybe Ryan Air.

Seatbelt extensions should not exist, easy mechanism to keep fatties off the plane. If it doesn’t fit, you don’t fly.
