I'd still want to know why this onus falls on the friends and not, you know, the person needing the accommodation.

Could you just imagine being the person who takes the call where the caller goes "hi my friend is really fat can you tell me if your seats will work for them?"

" yeah, I got this fat ass friend, and I need to know if your chairs are hippo compatible"
"Do you offer bacon grease as a side dish, or topping?"

Cot damn, I hate this crybaby society so goddamn much.

Can you imagine having a friend so fat you'd feel compelled to call someplace to see if the seats are large enough?!?
Since when are people so fat there's a concern chairs will be too small?

When I was in high school, I had a teacher who was enormous. He was a former NFL lineman. He was listed at 6’7” 265 when he was in the NFL in the 50’s, which was really big for the time. By the mid 1980’s when I had his class, he had to be at least 500 pounds. Every year, the welding shop had a project to reinforce Mr. Garzoli’s chair. His car was a big old Caddy, and it leaned hard to one side every time he pulled up. I have to imagine he had a hard time finding a decent chair if he went out.

But Mr. Garzoli stood out for his size.
Are people like Mr. Garzoli becoming so common businesses are expected to have lardass chairs in addition to high chairs?

I mean, I had thought the carts grocery stores had for people to ride around in were for the elderly. When I was back in Kentucky, I saw, like 1 elderly person using them, and the rest were fat people.

Unfortunately, I see a lot of this type of stuff happening these days... Especially in the restaurant bars when some BIG people try to sit and "overlap" the barstool seat and me & the staff are cringing waiting for it to collapse. :shocked:

I mean, what is the staff supposed to do... go over and say to that person, "Gee sir/ma'am, are you sure you want to sit there. The barstool looks like it might collapse under your weight"... ? Not very PC... :twitch:

Agreed. I am also reminded of the cruelty of youth. My friends and I were quite proud of a song we wrote about him called “Garzilla”, which was a takeoff on “Godzilla” by Blue Oyster Cult.

I can’t remember the lyrics anymore, but I think the bridge was something like “Oh no! There go the Oreos! Go, go Garzilla”

You mean like the almost 13 year old student who came in with his mommy to complain to my GM that I wouldn't allow him to wear a hat in class???

Sure, it was absurd enough the kid was so upset he couldn't wear a hat, but that his mother actually brought him in to talk to my GM about it ... really?

Hahaha.
I mean, yeah, that's cruel, but the lyrics made me chuckle.

And that's part of what annoys me so much about this sort of thing. I read my posts back, and a part of me feels badly - like some mean li'l kid. At the same time, this whole - it's not only ok to be fat (and I mean fat, not not skinny), it should be embraced - it's too much. If someone is working on getting to a healthier weight, awesome. It's the people who are huge who then whine about it, or get all - "you look like you need a sandwich."

The worst ones to me are the fatties who try to shame formerly fat people for losing weight. The amount of shit Adele got for taking better care of her health was ridiculous.
