An eye-opening theatre trip. I was verified on Reddit but hardly contributed, so when we moved over here I just decided to read and enjoy. However, yesterday's observations have prompted me to register again.  I went to the theatre with my mum yesterday. I'm a UK shitlady and this was a really old theatre in a large city. Both me and my mum are human - both 5'6, dress sizes 8 and 10 respectively (UK sizing obvs). Our seats were in the dress circle, towards the end of one of the rows. And my god, they were small! It really hit home just how much the size of the 'average' person has increased. Obviously, me and my mum were fine, but when I looked around, the majority of people were crammed uncomfortable into their seats, arms folded across their chests because they literally didn't have the room to let them lie naturally.  I looked across to one of the 'boxes' and saw a morbidly obese couple in there. I realised that they would have had to pay the extra money to have a box because there was no way either of them would have fit in one of the standard seats.  Yesterday made me realise just how many people are overweight now. Me and my mum were definitely in the minority. And I thought to myself, this is why I go to the gym; this is why I eat healthily. So I can have a day out at the theatre and sit comfortably for 3 hours, so I can fit into a normal seat, so I can easily get past others in the row to get to my seat.  Before the show started, my mum and I had to stand up to let two older women past us to get to their seats. Both were hams. I stood right against my seat and pretty much made myself concave so she could squeeze her flab past me. And as I did so, she laughed, "ooh, it's a good job you're so skinny or I'd never have got past you!" Why is it a good thing that I'm so skinny? Surely it's a bad thing that YOU'RE so large! Take some responsibility for your mistakes.  So yeah - great trip for me and my mum but there will have been some extremely uncomfortable people in there. Serves them right. The couple next to me were hams and as the first act was coming to an end, they stood up and ran to the exit before the curtain had even come down. I found out why when they came back with ice creams, sweets and beer. Clearly wanted to be first in line for food. Why do people even eat in theatres?! Can they not even go a few hours without stuffing their faces? Urgh.  Theatre should be reserved for shitlords.
