Standard UK -  A train operator has apologised after a station announcer shocked passengers by saying that only thin people should sit down because of a lack of space. The South West Trains commuter service from Basingstoke, Hampshire, was full when a member of staff allegedly said: “We are going to be like sardines on this train, so can I ask that only slim people sit on the three seaters. If you are fat then it is simply not going to work.” Speaking to the Daily Mail after the incident, one angry passenger on the service  said: “I am not necessarily a big person but most people are larger than those seats anyway. A spokesperson for South West Trains has since apologised, saying that the comments had been meant in a “light-hearted way” and were “in no way intended as a slight on any customers”. “Like ourselves, she is very sorry if any passengers were offended by her remarks,” he added. “We have reminded the guard about the correct approach to take in future. “All passengers are welcome on board our trains. We run some of the busiest trains in the country and we do appreciate that space on some of our trains is limited. “To provide extra space and seats for our customers, we are in the process of investing £250m in extra carriages and new trains.”

 

I think this broad who said no fatties allowed is finally taking that step we need as a society. Just think about it– there was a time not too long ago when you could smoke on trains, planes, delivery rooms, wherever. Light up a cig whenever your heart so desired it. Some people hated it, saying they didn’t want to breath in the smoke, and now you can’t smoke anywhere anymore. Well now here we are, and this train announcer in the UK is basically the Rosa Parks of getting fat people out of public. A revolutionary not seen since MLK. She will change the way we ride transportation forever. Being crammed in a Metro car with fat people is the worst. It’s bad for your health, especially in the Summer when you’re squeezed into their sweaty butt cheeks. We can’t sit here and act like the big fatties who take up 2 seats are doing anything to help society. So I propose just like they used to have smoking trains, and just like they have the “quiet car”, they make the fat people car. The fat people can push and shove each other all they want in their own designated car (maybe make 2, one at each end, to balance it out), and the rest of us normals can comfortably sit and not have to worry about being smacked in the face with some broad’s fupa when she turns around too fast. It’s only fair. We already make people buy two tickets if they are too fat to fly on an airplane, why should the Subway or Metro be any different? And think about all the feel-good stories when someone who used to have to ride the fat car gets to sit on the normal people car. It’ll be something people strive for. It’ll be a way to lower the obesity rate in America. It’s genius.
