Do you think it is fair that fat people don't pay double fares on pubilc transport?

Question

There is this fat woman who sits on my bus every morning and takes ua a full seat and there still is not enough room for her fat ***! This is not fair!

Answer 1

Selfish little *!!**%^

Answer 2

Well why don't you put on about 10 stone and get your moneys worth then.

Answer 3

and thin people should not be served the same size big macs as the rest, but pay the same money...that seems fair.

Answer 4

No, but I don't think it's fair that Yahoo allows stupid people to ask questions in here.

Answer 5

No, I don't think they should pay more. Should thin people who take up half the seat pay for half price.

Answer 6

How bout you get a life, and stop being a prejudice piece of poo?

Next you'll be at the coffee house saying fatfolk can't come in!

No education for fat folk!!

Dumb-***!

Answer 7

For all you know this woman may have a medical condition that prevents her from being 'thin' and driving.

I am considered to fat by some people, but I am fitter than some - I do NOT drive due to a medical condition - and to get to the bus stop I walk a mile and a half in the mornings and the same in the evenings.  I regularly over take 'thin' people who are huffing, puffing and complaining about walking.

Anybody who puts their feet on the seats who should pay DOUBLE or TREBLE fares to cover the cost of cleaning or replacing the seats.

Answer 8

Well maybe the buses should have bigger seats!!

I bet even if there was room on the seat with her you wouldnt sit there.

Answer 9

they should get a bigger bus as i got a fat bxxxh on my bus as well and some times her daughter takes the other side up i say charge them 6 quid as they dint just take up the bus they eat the last big mac as well this is only aimed at peole who are not fat for a good reason.

Answer 10

There should be some sort of deterent to stop people from getting fat.  "It's a gland thing" just does stand up to any argument

Answer 11

Grow up.

Answer 12

little kids take up a seat and they are not charged so us adult thinees just have to learn a bit more tolerance.

Answer 13

I agree they should pay more if they take up two seats. Being obese should not be discrimination  because unlike other things you could change being fat (i.e stop eating fast food and exercise a little bit)

I also have the same problem on the subway each morning I always end up next to a fat person who is taking up half my seat. Why shouldn't they have to pay more if they are the equivalent of two people?

Also paying more for the bus gives them less money to buy candy bars.....

Answer 14

This is a fair point. When u fly and are shall we say big boned u have to pay for 2 seats. I know from personal experience. At least u get 2 meals though.

Answer 15

Actually, I've always wondered, if drunks get thrown out of bars, why don't fat people get thrown out of restaurants?

Answer 16

Wow. Do you really have nothing better to do than make fun of the majority of the country that has a weight problem?

get a life.

Answer 17

how rude people in glass houses should not throw stones why are you fat? maybe you should pay the fair of the next big person you see get on the bus see your wallet decline then complain when your broke

Answer 18

ahhh didums. Walk a mile in someone elses shoes before ye judge them sonny!

Answer 19

No. I don't think people who are overweight should pay more. I also don't think they should be insulted by people with this attitude.

Try to put yourself in someone else's shoes for a minute. Not necessarily overweight - but if you had something about you that was embarrassing.

A little kindness goes a long way

And no - I'm not overweight myself I just care about people's feelings
