The Fats on the Bus go.... Recently due to some black ice, I messed up my car and rammed into a tree. I'm a-okay, was only going about 25mph, but the bumper of my car was wrecked. So little car had to go to the shop, and I've been taking the bus. This has been a very humbling experience, because I actually really like taking the bus. It is a relief not to drive and has forced me to be more organized and intentional with my time.... ....but the Fats on the bus. Sadistically I'm happy about it JUST SO I CAN SHITLORD WITH YOU FRIENDS. Recently when I took the bus, a fat got on with a small bag and a bag full of groceries. The bus wasn't crowded, and the front seats were open. The fat sat down in one of the frontmost seats and she (?) was so fat that she couldn't put her bags on her lap. When a bus isn't crowded, I don't mind if a passenger puts their bag(s) down in the seat next to them. This fat. Put. Her bags. On the TWO seats next to her. She was under 40, and those seats are reserved for  the elderly, pregnant, and disabled. But she took it upon herself to take up THREE GODDAMNED SEATS. Because she had ONE bag of groceries and a small purse. Are you kidding me?!  This same week, I was on my way home from the store on the bus. It was peak traffic hours, so the bus was especially crowded. There was only one seat available when I got on, next to a male (?) absolute butter barge. He was taking up his entire seat and 2/3 of the available seat, so it was hardly even available to the average person. I'm still tiny in my huge winter coat, and I, a 120lb 5'6" woman, could not completely sit in the available seat space next to butter barge. I had to sit in it sideways with my back to the butter barge and have my knees pointing in the middle of the bus where people were standing. As the ride went on, I saw that the butter barge I was sitting next to was talking to a female (?) butter barge sitting in front of him. It became clear that they knew each other and were probably dating. The two of them were so fucking fat that they couldn't sit next to each other on the bus, they HAD to sit in front and behind one another because they both took up more than one seat. Luckily they left the bus not long after I got on. But. Ew.  Wow I suddenly miss my car again. Can't fucking wait to have that thing back.
