The planet that was too fat for our chairs at work You guys. I've witnessed something I cannot unsee (nor unsmell, oh god). I have a very public-facing job, so for privacy's sake we'll just say I'm a news anchor, because what I really do is pretty similar and I can still tell you this story without changing any other details. Yesterday at work, we had several guests in the studio, as we often do. Because the general public is so fucking fat, we're used to having fatties in, but the behemoth we had in yesterday takes the cake (pun intended).  She was so fat that she literally could not fit in the makeup chair (it's one of those directors chairs, and I'm sure it would have simple snapped under her weight if she were even able to hoist herself up and smoosh herself into it), so we had to send a PA to run around like crazy and find a sturdy stool to sit her on while our makeup artist got her camera-ready. Then, she could barely squeeze into the chair she was sitting in for most of the broadcast. But, most horrifyingly, toward the end of the segment, I was taking a break off-camera because another reporter was set to interview her for the final piece, but they realized that, again, she would literally not be able to fit into the interview chair. So in a mad scramble, one of the producers comes running out of the control room, and tells me that they're changing the run of show and instead I'd be interviewing her standing up in a different location, and that he'd "explain why later."  He didn't have to. I immediately understood why. And OH GOD the smell. Like, again. We've had other fatties in. Heck, I work with a few smallfats, they have great hygiene. But HOLY SHIT. This girl/woman (age unknown) was SO HUGE that I'm sure she literally was unable to wash herself. I honest-to-god thought the whole "fat people smell bad" thing was just a stereotype, or that you guys were exaggerating. I don't spend much time around hugefats, so I literally have never been close enough to smell one. She just smelled...sour all over. It's baffling, it wasn't even a classic B.O. smell, it was as if someone had blended up moldy cheese and curdled milk into a horrifying milkshake concoction and dumped it all over her.
