Woman Suggests Her Obese Friend Buy Two Seats On Flights, Loses Longtime Friendship

I’m not obese, but I’m a big guy. I have broad shoulders and I can tell sometimes it bothers the person next to me on long flights.

Buying a second airplane seat seems like a good courtesy for us large folks, but it’s also already extremely expensive to buy even one seat.

In this Reddit post a woman explains that she has an obese friend who was complaining about being uncomfortable on a flight, so the OP suggested buying a second seat to give herself some room.

The obese friend was greatly offended by this comment and broke off the friendship.

One the one hand, if you’re going to complain about being uncomfortable (I understand) then get yourself that second seat. But on the other hand, why be offended by something the some airplane already make obese people do anyway?

Read on for the details. You be the judge.
