Of course you know why, so the fat people have more room before overflowing into the normal/thin/average spaces beside them and so that thin/normal/average people have more space to move away from them. LOL !! That's my theory.
Excuse me for listening in on this conversation, @dandays & @jacey.boldart, but I quite believe your theory Jacey!
I may be opening up a hornet's nest here, so please forgive me, but I'm of the opinion that thin/normal people are being penalized for being thin/normal when their luggage is just 1 or 2kg overweight. All travellers need to step on that scale together with their luggage before thin/normal people get penalized for carrying a little more in their luggage, and not their butts.
I'm glad it made you chuckle dear Jacey, I did not mean to be mean😅
Hopefully, no one listens in or this could end up in a boxing match!

There's a comedian that is overweight that does a piece of a comedy skit about how he hates to fly, but in his business, sometimes it is impossible to avoid it. He was going to board a private plane and the steward asked him how much he weighed and he said "Why do you want to know?" ...and he was told that they needed to know how much everyone weighted so they would know how much fuel to put in the plane to get them there. He said he turned to the steward and said "FILL IT UP !! "......ha ha.... he said he would hate to go down somewhere because some fat women hedged her numbers. It was pretty hilarious.
Any idea when they'll increase parking space sizes so they can two-handedly swing each thigh in the car without throwing a door into the vehicle adjacent?
Probably whenever they figure out how people in regular cars can see past the bigger vehicles on both sides of them when they try to back out of a space !
I remember seeing the commercial the first time where someone with one of those cars that you can point towards a skinny parking space, get out, then remote your car forward into the space and then have it back out for you to get in when you come back. (does yours do that ?) I decided right away that the sides of your vehicle were doomed to be highly dented very fast as the folks on both sides of where you parked your remote parking vehicle tried to get in and out of their cars, after you didn't leave them any space to get in or out of theirs. There was one more thing that wasn't thought all the way through. LOL
Nooo.. I'm not even sure I should admit I didn't know cars did that. Really, I just as in three weeks ago learned of remote control lawn mowers. You probably already know. Probably shoulda kept that one to myself, too. You seen these things?
I have heard of remote mowers, you know, some dude sitting on his front porch, mowing his lawn. LOL !! If I had to mow my own, that's the one I'd want.
You know, like a roomba, but for your yard. LOL
I'm waiting for a robot slave that can do dishes myself.

I get it @lizelle, an overall weight total per passenger/possessions, instead of the individually.
It did make me laugh to read it though. Can of worms for sure. I am not one of the thin people, but I do understand the issues all the same.

I didn't take it as mean at all. :)

Hahaha Jacey, I'm sitting here all by myself cackling; I can just picture it!
I know you did not see it as such, but I could not resist throwing in a homograph;)
Yeah, ok, Barbie secret's safe with me.
😄
Don't you ever apologize for opening up a hornets nest or can of worms or any of that page, you hear me?! I responding with crabs RIGHT NOW!
I'd hate to be pinched by a crab's claw, so I'm running away.

Stop driving a fat vehicle ! LOL....

I wonder why they say "you're not from here are you" whenever I go to Weigle or Citgo or Loves or Buckees! Can't forget Buckees!!
They flip pancakes for Buckees!
I'm trying to say I should consider an electric car.

And grocery shopping!
In your case... grocery ordering! Hell yeah, do the dishes, Rosy!
No, I don't drive a Porsche. From the window. Ima stand in the window, a/c on. Brrrnn brnnnn brrrrnn.
I heard that's what they sound like.
Sooner or later you may get old enough you can't hear it and it won't bother you.
