It's Probably Just PMS

The TTC was never designed for fat people. It probably will never be since those who design them are upper class, Caucasian males, approx. 5'11", 160-180 lbs, who never have to lug around a knapsack, let alone groceries, and/or baby strollers, and definitely would never ever need to ride public transit.

That being said, here starts my rant. Obese people should never ever attempt to squeeze themselves into the middle seats in the subway. They were never designed to accommodate those with big butts. Hell, they barely fit an average person with their snow gear on a cold winter’s day!! In fact, the asshole that put in the middle seat probably thought it was some sick joke.

“OOOhhh let me put in another seat, it can’t really fit anyone, but it’ll be fucken hilarious watching people try.”

Fucker.

I’d say it’s almost the equivalent to trying to squeeze in to jeans that barely zip up. Just cause they zip up doesn’t mean that they fit. You still got your rolls hanging out the sides and that’s never pretty. At least give those who have to look at that some courtesy. Like the two people that are equally squished against the sides when you sit down. And those on the sides are either a) annoyed that they are being squished when they got to their seats first. b) annoyed that they have to make a decision whether to move or not with or without offending the obese person. c) all the above, and then some. (The list also goes for people with bad BO, those who pick their nose, pick their teeth, clip their nails, AND THE LIST GOES ON! Why are people clipping their nails on the TTC anyways?!) Thats another rant for another day and I digress.

I don’t want to offend anyone, I’ve been called fat, I know how it feels. But damn don’t give people the ammunition. Stand or wait for the next available two seater, it’s only a few stops. It might even help you work off a few pounds.
