this makes sense cause they charge you for heavy luggage. as long as they are checking they might do a smell test as well cause having a person who doesn't believe in showers or dry cleaning next to you can make for a long trip

a while back I had a fat guy sitting next (actually with cause he was in my space) to me and he couldn't get the seat belt fastened and the flight attendant broght him what looked like an extension. I was just thinking since they charge for head sets they ought to charge a bundle for one of those seat belt extenders

I blame the national trend on the folks who came up with the fast food supersize concept

Homer: I'm looking for something loose and billowy, something
comfortable for my first day of work.
Salesman: Work, huh? Let me guess. Computer programmer, computer
magazine columnist, something with computers?
Homer: Well, I use a computer.
Salesman: [quietly, to self] Yeah, what's the connection? Must be the
non-stop sitting and snacking.
[more audibly] Well, sir, many of our clients find pants
confining, so we offer a range of alternatives for the ample
gentleman: ponchos, muumuus, capes, jumpsuits, unisheets,
muslim body rolls, academic and judicial robes --
Homer: I don't want to look like a weirdo. I'll just go with a
muumuu.

And from the same episode


Homer: One for "Honk", please.
Ticketeer: Oh. Gee, uh, just a minute. I have to check with the
manager.
[to manager] That overweight guy wants to see the movie.
Manager: I'm terribly sorry, sir, but I'm afraid our facilities are
not equipped to meet your needs.
Homer: What are you talking about?
Manager: What I'm saying, sir, is that a man of your carriage couldn't
possibly fit in our seats.
Homer: I can sit in the aisle.
Manager: I'm afraid that would violate the fire code.
Bystander: Hey, Fatty! I've got a movie for ya: "A Fridge Too Far"!
[HA]

Aren't they the same people responsible for the fast food feedbag?
