Fat story made thin: Italian man angry with Emirates airlines because they’re not doing anything to dissuade his dissatisfaction with having to have sat next to a morbidly obese man on a nine-hour flight
I’m aware that this story is one that of an insufferable, apparently entitled individual, trying to cash in on a no-win situation from Emirates, but I’m also not a perfect person either. I’m on the side of the angry Italian.
I fly a lot, as my six readers very well know. I’ve enjoyed the luxury of the occasional surprise upgrade when I played the standby game, but way more often than naught, I’ve suffered the indignity of having to sit next to undesirable people. And I wish it were the people with babies, or the blabber mouths, or the people that often come to mind when people think of undesirable seat neighbors. No, I’m talking about the people who don’t know what a shower is, or had been living at the airport for days, or sometimes both. People who try to dominate the armrests or any and as much space as they can, because they’re just that selfish or greedy.
And then there’s the fat people.
