Making myself "smaller" How often have we heard that? "Blublubluh, I know I'm fat, I make myself smaller on airplanes and bus seats, you shitlords have no idea how hard I try to make you happy, blublubluh..." They don't make themselves smaller. Even if they try, they physically can not make themselves smaller. Unless they stop eating, of course, but that's a different issue. They have too much lard wrapped around their bones that their joints are not able to bend enough to allow the body to take up less space. Here's what I mean; A few days ago I went on a platypus safari in a canoe, and as I was at the front of the canoe with three others behind me I wanted to shrink down a bit so they could see around and over me easier. I'm 5'11 so I can be a bit obstructive if I'm in the front of a group. Those animals are tiny, so they can be hard to spot without someone blocking half of your view. Since I am not a fatass, I could put my upper arms down by my sides, instead of having them hang off at a 45-degree angle like when fatties try to put their arms "down". Since I don't have a massive paunch,  I could lean forwards and rest with my arms folded on my knees, making me a good 1.5 feet shorter for the people behind me. Since I don't have a floppy gunt forcing my legs to spread apart, I could keep them together comfortably so they didn't block any vision from either side of my body. I fold up like a little lawn chair, for convenience and consideration, and it was effortless and comfortable enough that it didn't even fully occur to me that I was doing all this, until the fatty whine "we make ourselves smaller!" popped into my head. It was just sitting like this which is a very normal sitting pose. Not even worth pointing out except in this very particular context. I am sure that you have all done the same, and succeeded, the simple act of getting out of people's way so you can share space comfortably. We are physically able to do it. Fattasses are so big that their joints lose the range of motion that the rest of us have due to being unable to crush through the thick fat that encases their limbs. It's like trying to fold a pillow vs a sheet, they're just too thick to do it properly, or at all. And yet, they still think that putting their legs together is enough to somehow magically get their side rolls out of our seats. Newsflash to all you hams: YOU AREN'T MAKING YOURSELF ANY SMALLER. IF YOU WANT TO BE LESS OF AN INVASIVE INCONVENIENCE, GET SMALLER PERMANENTLY BY EATING LESS. Just "trying" to be smaller once you are already encroaching onto your neighbour's seat means nothing, you are not sacrificing anything for us, you are not helping us, you are not deserving of pity or sympathy, you're just a selfish twat who takes up too much of our space. The fact that hams complain that they have to get out of our personal space as though it's some great martyrdom for them, when it's no more than what you're supposed to do as a respectful person, is one of my biggest pet peeves. Disclaimer about making myself "small" on the tour; I don't expect praise for this the way fatties expect praise for their "efforts," and am just using myself as a convenient example. It's simply common courtesy to not be in everyone's way. You don't get rewards for baseline decency. Please, if any lardass is reading this, get that through your thick skull. Being a basic human isn't worth reward.
