It made me kinda lose a bit of respect ...

She said she is entitled to her entire seat while flying.

She says she respects people of all sizes, but this "chaps her cheeks" .  (She's really SKINNY)

Friends commented, poking fun towards obese person that sat next to her.

Such as:

what was her name? did she eat at McD's at the airport before she boarded? how about we have a sample chair they have to fit into before boarding - kinda like the carry on thing they never enforce.

careful....she might eat you

its even worse when you can smell the mold in the body fat.....

oh those nooks and crannies !!!

 like an english muffin!

Ha! I made it thru 1st flight, altho I did nearly vomit when the (ahem) large woman took her shoes off & her toes were touching my bag =\ I did survive! Connecting flight was much better - I was still in middle seat, but btwn 2 normal-sized gals. Had entire seat 2 myself!! Felt like first class. I'm so thankful 4 all the concern going on LoL I feel a shower coming up in my very near future.

ok. toes touching my **** would have got me vocal. i would definitely have said something......probably not nice either.

Ffs make sure you sanitizer your bag and also sanitize the parts of you she rested her fat rolls on. LOL. I'm no skinny mini but I can fit in my own airplane seat. LOL

End of comments.

I'm sure the obese person wasn't comfortable.  I used to be MO myself, and I hated flying because of this and looking at people's reactions when they get to their seat which would be next to me.

I haven't said anything or added comments, although I wanted to say that they were all being rude.

Well, that is rude.

I'm grossed out by rude, insensitive people on facebook.

I can understand not wanting to share your seat with someone on a plane, if they don't fit in their own seat completely.  But all the rude comments are not necessary and obviously someone that says that does not respect people of all sizes because those are not respectful comments.

That is hideous and I would be commenting back.... but thats just me....

would be no different then saying eww this (insert ethnic person) sat next to me and (Insert horrible racist comment here). Pretty sure that kind of post wouldn't be celebrated.

They are all ********and should be made aware before they sit down and leave **** stains everywhere.

 I agree about the rude comments.  If she respects people of all sizes, why does she say these things??

That is EXTREMELY tacky and cruel! Kinda makes you want to wish that THEY will end up being the same size of the lady on the plane one day, doesn't it? ;-)

This saddens me. No one has the right to say such mean things about someone else. As mom always said, "If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all."

I don't think that person would still be my fb friend or any kind of friend after all that.

She has the right to the seat she paid for.  She also has the right to edit her facebook page of rude comments.

I am sorry that you had to see those comments on a a friends facebook page but at least you are seeing who she is and what she finds funny.
