"An American Airlines passenger is asking the company for "reparations" after tweeting that she was "wedged" between two "obese people" on a three-hour flight.

Sydney Watson, who describes herself as an Australian/American political commentator, posted to Twitter on Monday stating that she was "literally - WEDGED between two OBESE people on my flight."


"This is absolutely NOT acceptable or okay. If fat people want to be fat, fine. But it is something else entirely when I'm stuck between you, with your arm rolls on my body, for 3 hours," Watson said.

In the tweet thread, Watson said that "If you need a seat belt extender, you are TOO FAT TO BE ON A PLANE."



"Buy two seats or don't fly," Watson added.

Watson said that the flight attendant on the plane "has asked me 4 times if I need anything" and gave her "the ‘this is f--ked’ pity expression."

According to Watson, she asked a brother to one of the women she was sitting next to if he'd like to "swap seats."

"He says, 'no. That's okay :)' ...and then I started shrieking internally," Watson said.

"I don't care if this is mean. My entire body is currently being touched against my wishes. I can't even put the arm rests down on either side because there's no f-ing room. I'm sick of acting like fatness to this extent is normal. Let me assure you, it is not" she said."

Delta gave me a free domestic ticket one time when I was jammed next to Shamoo.
I used to fly multiple times a week and told them I didn't pay for half a seat.

I was once on a flight and a fat f*ck that stank on ice sat next to me. I asked 'ol stinky when the last time he showered was - he gave me the stink eye. I immediately got up and demanded the flight attendants reseat me. They did.


l told my pap and mam I was going to be a mountain man; acted like they was gut-shot. Make your life go here. Here's where the peoples is. Mother Gue, I says, the Rocky Mountains is the marrow of the world, and by God, I was right.

She should be bitching at the airline instead for installing seats that only fit a 10 year old. People on average are fatter than they used to be. That’s true all over the world, not just the US. Coach seats only realistically fit about 25% of the population.

Airlines should install some seats on each plane for fatasses. You want one, you pay extra. If you don't get one and you take up space in a passenger's seat, you pay them for it.

They got them and always have, they're referred to as first class seats.

PS- it's all in what you'll tolerate. You make a big enough stink, they'll move you.


Slaves get what they need. Free men get what they want.

Rehabilitation is way overrated.
