A Stranger Sat on Me... Seriously




Disclaimer: I do not have a pre-existed prejudice against obese people. The story below only illustrates one incident, and should not be interpreted as a hate-story against any group of people.


Anddddddddddd we're back:


I was on the bus this morning to go to work and sat at the very front. I was enjoying my ride until an extremely extremely extremely obese person boarded the bus and looked at the girl next to me and goes "Excuse me. I need to sit." (annoying). So the girl next to me gets up and this lady sits down - but was way too big to fit into the seat, so she spilled over to my seat. And started like wiggling her ass to get further down into the seat -- coincidentally pushing me out. Before I could even consider an exit strategy, she stood up momentarily and violently plopped back down, half of her body fully ON TOP OF ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What kills me is she wasn't embarrassed. In fact, she did it on purpose. I know this because she rudely sighed, glared at me, and said "excuse you. I'm trying to sit" I was shocked. That woman had no shame.


Ok- I feel like you don't get it. I feel like you're reading this - and not understanding that a 400 lb person literally took up 1 and 3/4 seats on the bus -- and one of those seats was already occupied by ME.


I saw the look of horror from the other bus riders. I knew they wanted to help - but it was too little too late. My right leg and hip began to go numb (this happened in a matter of seconds). I would have let out a cry for her to have mercy on me, but alas, she took all the air out of me. I finagled myself out from under her and finally broke free.

I'm still experiencing nerve damage.
