It will take a plane to go down killing dozens before anyone even considers this. The world has this absurd obsession with safety nowadays to the point of ridiculousness, but as soon as it's fat, it all goes out the window.

I work for a small air taxi. We use actual weights. The giants have tried to kill me with their lies.

I really don't think clothes weigh 10lbs... I only take off about 2lbs when I weigh myself with shoes on. But maybe I just dress like a skank :)

My boots weigh 5 at least.

Nah, I dress pretty conservatively and they still only weigh about 2 lbs with shoes. Imagine, if you will, that you have to buy an entire tent to be able to cover your massive rolls. Weigh more, and your clothing will also weigh more. They probably have to make those fierce tarps out of canvas, and wax it to prevent grease stains,

Whenever my fat mom weighs herself she always takes off at least 7lbs for her clothes... and I'm always like, mom...no...

Passenger and baggage need to be weighed separately for plane balance. Though that can be done on the down low if you assign seats as they board.

It especially pisses me off that fat fucks complain about this. There was an actual plane crash where people died because the passengers were fatter than the pilots thought. That's a tad more important than their feelings, I'd reckon.
