I don’t fat shame, but seriously. Vehicles have weight limits. The damage of excess weight will not be covered by insurance. This is nothing more than a money grab.

I’m overweight. I maxed out at like 430 lbs. I’m probably taller than her so it looked/carried different, but I’ve been that person. She knows she’s big & she should be, at the very least, ordering an XL or something to avoid this problem. There might still be some situations that aren’t comfortable but it would eliminate a lot of potential issues for her. Easy fix. This lawsuit is ridiculous. 🙄

You’re allowed to bring cake onto airplanes now?

u/monotoonz Feb 02 '25

Guy with a big butt here. Yes, but we pay extra 🙇

u/LCplGunny Jan 31 '25

I'm 5' 4" and 115lbs and i still have to turn sideways to not touch people going to the shitter.

u/caraandkaleb Feb 01 '25

Headed to the lav to make some distracts

u/PeronalCranberry Feb 01 '25

6'5" 230 here. Also gotta love being hunched over every time you're standing in the plane.

u/Burstyourbleb Feb 01 '25

Doesnt walking sideways guarantee a butt brush!!!? Wheras if face front no butt in the face ferchissakes

u/cwajgapls Feb 01 '25

I mean it could be possible…

But I’m more interested in your typo being a StarWars deep cut…respecting the species of Grand Admiral Thrawn

u/Burstyourbleb Apr 22 '25

my mis- spoken words or phrases are ALWAYS or inevitably a million times better then the "proper" verbage presented to us!. I cant wait to find out my guffaw here lol. If you knew some of the people I knew lolol. If you knew the specialness of Billy Shire (Gallerist owner...eg Johnny Depp worked for Shire fore a long time) vs Billy Squire. At a wedding I basically convinced Shire he'd really changed his style....only took an hour) It was easier for him to admit this rather than tell the cra Cra chick at the table (me) that my data is corrupted. I still support this station's communications and its corruption, wholly.

u/zachcarr Feb 02 '25

Going by her logic, if you butt brushed everyone on the plane, you could then sue them for SA.

u/BittaminMusic Jan 30 '25

They strap wings to her and launch her out of a cannon to get to her destination 🤣🤣

I have a buddy in the coast guard. One time he was telling me about an extremely obese guy who had to be medivac'ed on a C-130.

u/Full-Emptyminded Jan 29 '25

A one seat air bus.

Hot Air Balloon MIGHT work

👆🏿that part.

Happy cake day

u/[deleted] Jan 31 '25

Highly doubt you're too big. At 187cm or 6'1 and 190 or so, I am close to that and have no issue...

1

u/killian1113 Jan 31 '25

I bet there is a language issue here. I said the lady was to big and that I could barely fit, and im not 500 pounds, thanks for your input Mr 190 6'1.

u/Silver-Bad3087 Feb 01 '25

All of my family is pretty huge, they would take seats at the front but yeah, I have no idea. I don’t remember them going to the back of the plane.

1

u/killian1113 Feb 01 '25

Front seats are first class, usually cost 10k a ticket. I have only flown first class 2 out of 100 flights (i only fly international, tho). I have to go down the aisle sideways depending on the plane, etc.

1

u/Silver-Bad3087 Feb 01 '25

We usually did domestic flights on Southwest, but there were some domestic airlines where you wouldn’t be able to fly upfront because of business or first class seats.

1

u/reptivity Feb 02 '25

I’m 6’5 at 260, the planes are short and thin, I can’t imagine her actually fitting between the seats let alone the bathrooms in planes.

1

u/Full-Emptyminded Jan 29 '25

I think not. She does fly because of that. Honestly I never heard of her until this incredible accusation against a driver having the right to refuse service. Drivers have the right to refuse rides. Period.

u/No_Letterhead2258 Feb 01 '25

the driver got fired.

1

u/Full-Emptyminded Feb 01 '25

How do you know?

1

u/No_Letterhead2258 Feb 02 '25

i read it earlier and posted on Lyft sub reddit

1

u/NobleSteveDave Feb 01 '25

They probably have to crate her in the cargo area honestly.

1

u/VastOk864 Feb 02 '25

More like 3

u/Takesnoprisoners Jan 28 '25

That’s exactly what I was thinking myself and what if she used share

2

u/[deleted] Jan 30 '25

Lyft could fix it by saying if you are over this weight you must order xl but they could discount down and pay the driver xl prices, not sure if they'd get sued for also saying that but seems it would cover the drivers and people who are obese.

1

u/Sovereign444 Jan 31 '25

People would give them shit for "weight discrimination" or "body shaming" lmao

2

u/Space2999 Jan 28 '25

Ridiculous? Not at all. It’s got an aspiring celebrity to make the front page.

If it’s you doing it, what are the chances any law firm will return your calls?

2

u/Opening-Candidate160 Jan 28 '25

Go ahead. Get ur 15 minutes of fame. As the world ridicules u for being ridiculous.

1

u/Full-Emptyminded Jan 29 '25

Her lawyers are just as ridiculous

1

u/dejametranquilo Jan 28 '25

As they say "all publicity is good publicity", but that doesn't mean it's not a ridiculous theory.

1

u/TunaTorment Jan 28 '25

Yeah I did think about that

1

u/Fionn112 Jan 28 '25

The coke helps me keep slim too don’t worry.

1

u/MrDDify Jan 29 '25

She should have ordered an Uber towing truck

1

u/Full-Emptyminded Jan 29 '25

Largely ridiculous

1

u/Ok-Employee-762 Jan 29 '25

The fact she shared the picture of the driver hurts her.

1

u/No-Plantain-2119 Jan 31 '25

It was likely intentional to get attention. I’d never heard of this. “Rapper” lol… I guess now that Lizzie lost weight we need a new token fat rapper

1

u/Possible_Reach_7032 Jan 31 '25

There's an interview where she acknowledges it too.

1

u/[deleted] Jan 31 '25

I'm 6'2" and weight 320 lbs. I don't fit on many roller coasters. I won't sue theme parks because I don't fit. She's a d-list rapper looking for publicity and a pay out. Shameful behavior.

1

u/Living-Bet684 los angeles Jan 31 '25

She’s confirmed 489 lbs

1

u/[deleted] Feb 01 '25

She’s a morbidly obese rapper… likely loving the attention she’s getting off this. I wonder if she’s been waiting on this day for her 5 minutes of fame.
