First of all, I’m not 300 lbs. I weigh a deuce and change. As long as this fat ass fits in a vacant bus seat, I’m gonna take it. You don’t like it, go fucking stand. I took the seat between you and the scrawny dude eating his hickory sticks. I sure didn’t like the smell of his chip breath, but I didn’t sigh and scoff and fume. I kept my mouth shut. A lot of smokers ride the bus, if you don’t like the smell, go buy a gas mask and fuck off. Or walk your skinny ass to werk! —Big Bertha

Was the person in question upset that you were fat, or that you smelled like cigarettes? You mentioned 300 lbs. Did the person in question try and guess your weight? That would be rude if he/she had said something about your weight. Everything else is just life.
*work* Learn to spell, Fatty!
As the original complainer, first of all, being literally squished into the side of the bus by another person’s weight is not only uncomfortable but gross. Second, yes, you stunk like cigarettes and since I don’t smoke I find that disgusting. Sure lots of people smoke who ride the bus, they also don’t press their oversized or regular sized body against their seat mate, it’s called respect for personal space and consideration for your fellow human.
Even if it’s personal space that could house five people, two dogs and a hamster?
200+ pounds and a sense of entitlement just as enormous. It’s a wonder the smokers haven’t complained about the lard arse overflow yet.
I think two and some change wanted to spell werk the way they did.
Fuck you with the idea of personal space on a bus. There is barely enough public space.
We got the person that the bitch was written about. That’s awesome! Rubyjay, why does OP state that he/she “isn’t 300 lbs”? Then proceeds to state the actual number? The only way that ifo is relevant, is if you asked/stated to he/she the fact that he/she is 300 lbs. If you didn’t actually say anything like that then… OP, who cares about how much you literally weigh? I weigh 150 lbs, does that mean anything to anyone? No.
as a fat person that also rides the bus i realize that my ass is slightly larger than the bus seat. Therefore, i don’t try to sandwich it in between 2 people on sideways seats. It’s common courtesy for all asses involved. Plus, who wants to be in a 3 way ass sandwich? nope, not me.
