Miscellaneous: Today, I was sitting on a rather small, uncomfortable bean bag...

Today, I was sitting on a rather small, uncomfortable bean bag while my friend was sitting on a nice chair. She asked if I wanted to switch seats, not so I could be more comfortable, but because she thought I was too fat and that I would burst the bean bag. FML

Today, I was arguing with a friend over whether or not I'm fat. She kept telling me that I was. Angry, I sat down on the chair beside her. It broke. FML

Today, while on the bus, I found out the seat I'd taken was the preferred spot of a very hostile and extremely overweight freshman. Instead of letting me find different place to sit, she half sat on me, and completely ignored my attempts to dislodge myself all the way to school. FML

Today, while at a family gathering, I sat down in a chair and it broke. Embarrassed, I picked myself up and sat down in another chair. That one broke too. I'm now the "fat girl" of the family despite weighing 90 pounds. FML

Today, I went in to a job interview with 6 other girls my age. I tried to sit down on a chair exactly like the ones every other girl was sitting on. Then, one of the interviewers offered to get me a more "sturdy" chair. For the entire interview, I got to sit in the "fat girl chair". FML

Today, my 5 year-old daughter saw me getting ready to sit down in a fold-out camp chair, and told me, with a big smile on her face, "Daddy, you're too fat to sit in that chair. You'll break it with your big butt." Out of the mouths of babes, I guess. FML

Today, I was late to a sold out movie in the theater, so I had to shuffle in during the previews in the dark. I sat down in what I thought was the last vacant seat, but I'd really just sat in a small woman's lap. She was not happy. 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, my friend and I offered a hot girl a lift home from campus. I was sitting in the passenger seat and she climbed in behind me. As I adjusted my seat forward to give her more leg room, my friend pulled off - slamming my seat back into her legs. FML

Today, a lady on the bus came up to me and asked if she could sit down. Thinking she meant the seat next to me, I said sure. She meant my lap. FML

Today, a woman on the train demanded I give up my seat for her, claiming it was for people with disabilities. Tired from a long day at work, and seeing she had nothing wrong with her, I asked what her disability was. Apparently, obesity is one. FML

My bean bag chair exploded when my brother and his girlfriend were having sex on it. So yeah, there's a weight limit. The worst part about cleaning up all those little balls was when I found clumps of them 'mysteriously' stuck together...

I dont think she said that to be mean. Of course she could've said it in a nicer way but she orobably had good intentions. I mean, it was a small bean bad and your on the chubby side so she didn't want the bean bag broken.

I'm pretty sure OPs friend didn't say it so harshly but that OP took it that way. i realize weight is a sensitive topic for women (ik I am one) but I find it extremely annoying that people with weight problems get so butt hurt when they try to do something that large people can't do. if you want to sit on the bean bag, by all means, do so. but if there's a chance of it breaking and your friend didn't want it to break, and your friend even offered their seat, doesn't mean she was being mean or rude at all ): personally I think OP is just an immature overly sensitive heavy set girl :/ there is no way to NICELY tell someone their weight is going to make something break, you just can't put it in a way that won't offend the person in question.
