One of the Twitter users recalled being seated next to "someone so big on a 17-hour flight" on a previous flight.
Digital Desk: On Twitter, a man tried to fat-shame a woman for her weight. When a large number of people reacted in favour of her, it backfired (to some extent). Elijah Schaffer shared a picture of a woman occupying a window seat on a plane and asked what others would do if they were assigned the middle seat next to her. Over 14.8 million people viewed and responded to his post.
"You must take your designated middle seat. When you see this, what do you do/say?" Schaffer penned.
Numerous responses were posted online. One of them recalled being seated next to "someone so big on a 17-hour flight" on a previous flight. It ended up being one of the best flights, though.
“The last time I sat next to someone this big was on a 17-hour flight. In economy class. His name was Angel and he apologised to me for taking up so much space, offered to let me use him as a pillow should I fall asleep (I did, he was comfy), and kept me company with stories about the animal rescue that he was involved with and his young daughter. A genuinely kind and jovial person. It ended up being one of the nicest flight experiences I’ve ever had,” she wrote.
Another share his opinion, “Somebody who spills over into the other seat actually has to buy two seats because they’re taking up two seats. You request to be reseated or compensated and put on another flight.”
