Sitting beside a fat man

So you're suggesting that all public transportation must be refurbished with much much wider seats to cater for those really obese people...anyway, fat or th...

I usally don't like a fat man/woman to sit beside me. I think they should sit with those of their sizes. If you say it's because they are fat and therefore they want to sit beside those not so fat people, don't you think they are selfish? They should think also for these not so fat people that they also wouldn't want to sit with them. What do you think?

fatslob SG

U more selfish lah. There's only so much space available, if fat+fat sure more squeeze than fat+thin, we only looking for the most logical place to sit. Rolling Eyes

This is a discrimination. Leave the overweight people alone. Do you think, if they have a choice, they would want to be fat? Learn to be sensitive to these people. Rolling Eyes

Who ask you to be so thin? Eat fatter then they won't sit next to you.

You should instead focus your hatred on those people who pretend to fall asleep when old people or people with children/pregnant step into the train.

Eternal-fire SG

Hmmm, but they do have a choice to slim down. And besides if they slim down I am sure there are more benefits.

No wonder there is a report about fat children.

It said that the fat children are either the ones getting bullied or the ones bullying others.

U make it sound so easy, for some its simply a matter of bad lifestyle n habit, but for a lot of others it is also genetic. I have lost a lot of weight before and have even been rather toned, but it is simply too difficult for my body to maintain that condition for long especially now that im working at a desk job. I am still working out but it is barely enough to keep my weight stable. Sad

Ignatiaus SG

I agree. Some people are genetically made to be fat. Same goes with people who are big size (big boned)

You can't help it

Ultimately Buses & MRT seats are REALLY small in the first place. Obviously designed by midgets and made for midgets. Even the smallest person fits in the seat quite snugly.

But then again if you wanna complain.. if you were really smart, you would be driving a car instead of taking public transport.

Learn how to co-exist! Singapore will eventually become like HK... (Overpopulation)

honeymouse SG

While I agree that some overweight people have a choice to slim down, there are always people with battling health issues that make them put on weight.

Hogzilla SG

I disagree on the bus part. Those old old buses have very spacious seats compared with those so-called new buses. At least when I put my Ikea cupboard down, people can still sit down, facing me, it's something I don't see when I sat on the new bus.

Ignatiaus SG

Errrrrr

How can you disagree when you say new buses not as spacious as the old buses when the old buses don't run anymore?

@[email protected] its confusing!

Xcert SG

pls find something better to do...or to think about. Rolling Eyes

the.owl SG

I'm not fat, I'm just big boned Crying or Very sad

Hogzilla SG

Where's your "This is a serious thread"?

Hogzilla SG

Then you should take a ride on bus no. 178 and bus no. 961. You dun see those old bus for no. 961, but you will definitately experience it on bus no. 178.

Maybe you just didn't experience it yet, mountain tortoise...

Ignatiaus SG

Oh sure! Like you've taken every bus number in Singapore. *Sarcasm Off*
