I am still in shock over the sheer number of hams and planets that were on this flight from hell. My husband and I were on our way back from our honeymoon, and we had a connecting flight after this one landed.
As we are waiting to board, I started noticing that almost everyone is fat as fuck! I'm not exaggerating when I say that 2/3 of the passengers were OBESE, not just your average shameless sloppy pig.The remaining third were all almost overweight. I counted about 15 humans.
So as we are waiting to board and the butterslugs are finishing their $30.00 airport domino pizzas and latte milkshakes, I pray to the airport gods that we win the human lottery for the seat next to us. CHA CHING tiny lady takes the window seat.
Some nasty planet who takes showers as a suggestion not a rule sat in front of my SO. She smelled like something died in her ass 5 years ago and she just couldn't reach it. she sat in a human's seat instead of her own on the other side of the aisle. he looked grossed out when he asked her to move to her actual seat. she bent over to get up and had trouble...her ass was so close to our faces I almost vomited.
So we have been sitting on the plane for 45 minutes now, what's going on? The pilot ANNOUNCES THAT TEN PEOPLE WILL HAVE TO GET OFF THE PLANE BECAUSE THIS PLANE HAS A WEIGHT LIMIT. OMG you guys. The volunteers were mostly made up of humans. I saw one prize pig volunteer like 400 pounds. None of these fatass cared. teehees all around.
After people left the plane, we had to wait another 45 minutes for the pilot to receive the NEW WEIGHT PLAN or the flight. we just barely made our connecting flight which was great because there were no other flights to our destination.
let me tell you, the smell on that plane was triggering....still in shock from this experience. Don't even get me started on tourist hams :(

This has always bothered me. Why don't they just weigh people while they are buying a ticket? It could even be a secret! Employees don't even need to know about it! I can see an issue with people who buy them online (everyone really) not being weighed. It could be passed off as a matter of homeland security that you have to purchase a ticket at the counter once a month or something. meh Point being; it's not being mean, or even fatist(?). It's an actual logistical issue that could be the difference between everyone having a reasonably comfortable flight, and careening out of the fucking sky and slamming into the ground.

Dont forget you are talking about an industry where overselling a flight with assigned seating is common.

Yeah, they actually have to do that because people are assholes.
The problem is that lots of "people" will need to fly for, what ever reason, so they have the secretary book a flight on every airline. When the time comes that they need to go, they see which flight is on time/early/giving blowies and then cancel all the other flights.
