Comments on: Heavy Handed http://www.flightsfromhell.com/2009/06/heavy-handed/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=heavy-handed A fun flying blog with airline travel stories Sat, 04 Feb 2012 01:17:38 +0000 hourly 1 By: fander http://www.flightsfromhell.com/2009/06/heavy-handed/#comment-15182 fander Sun, 30 May 2010 14:17:29 +0000 http://www.iwanttime.com/?p=958#comment-15182 Hear, hear. Especially annoying are saw and demotage's epic tirades whenever a story about obesity comes up. Yes, being fat sucks and it's a tremendously touchy issue, but flying next to someone whose body mass is more akin to that of a geographical landmark than a human's is usually utter hell for that person's immediate neighbors, end of story. People aren't coming here to find out what constitutes the definitive "flight from hell," so please stop critiquing each story as if it were vying for such a title. If you can't enjoy this website as just a place to vent and laugh about the international clusterfuck that is travel, please don't make things tiresome for the rest of us. Hear, hear.

I applaud you for not flying off the handle like most people who post stories on here. I assume they chose to live with it because it wasn't worth the hassle dealing with them directly. Isn't this site here so people can complain anyway? I disagree. I applaud you for not flying off the handle like most people who post stories on here.

Nicely asking them to be a bit more gentle isn't making a scene. You chose to live with it, so I don't see as you have room to complain. I agree with SAW completely.
