Money: Today, I was forced to spend an extra $318 for another plane...

Today, I was forced to spend an extra $318 for another plane ticket to Dallas. The ticket wasn't for my daughter, my mom, or my sister, but for the quarter of my butt that apparently needs its own seat. FML

Today, I paid $140 extra to get more comfort during a flight. The man behind me was so tall that his legs didn't let me recline the seat, and complained every time I tried to during the night. FML

Today, I found out that my dad paid for my sister's friend's airplane ticket so she could attend my sister's wedding. I would have been there myself, but I couldn't afford the airplane ticket. FML

Today, I had to spend a long bus ride with my chest pressed against the window, because some mammoth of a woman decided to squeeze her double wide ass into my seat. FML

Today, I was supposed to fly home for my dad's funeral, but the woman in the seat next to me was so obese, her bulging flesh left absolutely no way for me to sit in my seat. I complained to the stewardess, who then forced me to leave the plane just for raising my voice in frustration. FML

Today, I spent the busiest travel day of the year in the busiest airport in the world trapped between the decision to leave the terminal bathroom or shit my pants. Yes, I missed my flight. Sorry, mom. FML

Today, for an eight-hour flight to Copenhagen, Denmark, I paid extra to get a seat offering more leg room. Unfortunately, the man behind me was so tall, his knees were pressing against my back the entire flight. FML

Today, my daughter found out there was a vacant seat left in first class on our flight and damn if she didn’t pounce on the opportunity to get bumped up into it so fast, because she, “like, deserved a break.” She left me in economy class for a 10-hour flight with her 3 year old and 1 year-old with teething pain.

Today, I'm stressing over travel plans yet again. My wife wants to fly standby but the changes in our plans stress me out so much I would rather spend the money. FML

Today, I was flying back home from college with my Mom. At the airport, the ticket agent tells us she only has one ticket listed for Margaret. My mom and I have the same name. American Airlines thought a Margaret had bought two tickets by mistake, so they cancelled one of the transactions. FML

well you gotta feel sorry for the person who might have been sat next to you if you hadn't bought the ticket. They would only get 3/4 of a seat for their butt otherwise :P

I clicked 'YDI' for complaining. Yeah, it sucks to be you and it's not your fault. It also is what it IS, however. You pay higher prices for larger clothing because it takes more time and effort and more material to produce. You pay more for larger size shoes. Yeah, you pay more for extra space on the plane, too. It's just your lot. Suck it up, because WE are not going to pay it for you and if you DIDN'T, then we'd HAVE to. So. Sorry for being blunt, but If you're that big, pay for the extra ticket without complaining or drive.

It's not actually that hard to lose weight. The problem is that most people try to hard and just end up burning themselves out

Ydi for not taking care of your health. I hate getting stuck with half a seat because of someone who is morbidly obese.

YDI!! Damn right they made you buy an extra ticket, of forbid someone actually bought that ticket, they would have had your nasty ass fat encompassing their leg the whole trip. If you can afford the costs of food and extra healthcare that being that fat comes with, you can afford the extra ticket

It also costs more for the airline to fly with more weight. More weight means more fuel consumption.

It's called dissability.... I have a disability and have problems walking to the bus stop some days. Think before you say/post.

Might sound harsh, but why should the airlines get nothing for the seat occupied by one quarter of your butt? Or why should the person sat next to you have only 3/4 of his/her seat for the full price? Would you rather give to the person 1/4 of their plane ticket to keep it fair? "You have only 3/4 of your seat, you should pay only 3/4 of your ticket"?
