Obese people riding around on scooters really annoys me..

Idk you never know the story. You don't & that's how it is.

I understand that it might be frustrating to see people who appear to have self imposed problems sucking up the resources that were originally designed for those who were not disabled by their own crippling life choices

Buuuttt

People who have severe, crippling food addictions
People who compensate for horrific child abuse by comfort eating and making themselves unattractive as a coping mechanism
People who used to weigh 600 lbs & now weigh 300, lost a shitload of weight but are only halfway there because it takes time & they have joint damage
People who happen to be fat AND disabled, or got fat after they became disabled

Those people exist too

And they scoot

Most people aren't any better. You got your drug addicts, porn addicts, dog fuckers, anti vaxxers, stupids, arrogants, mental disordered smokers, insomniacs. Obese people just wear their addiction on the outside of their bodies, so you think it's fine to hate them. Everyone does.

I'm not a person who believes being fat is healthy, but I am a person who's fucked up a million times, so I don't hate other people for fucking up in whatever way they do.

Maybe try thinking about other people's lives or your own be4 you get all sanctimonious.

Invasion of the gelatinous scooter people.

I don't want to puncture your self-righteous rage - everyone should have a hobby of some sort - but if you're an American, only something like six to eight percent of the federal tax you pay goes to food stamps, energy assistance, child care, other income security.

Maybe you should consider being outraged at where the majority of the money you hand over to the IRS actually goes: more than half of the US federal budget is spent on the military. Perhaps something would be done about that if fewer Americans believed they were God's gift to the world and you have the right to stomp around the globe imposing your will on everyone else.

I had a baby sitter once who was that fat. I dont remember why but it was gross. She scooted everywhere. It was nuts. Reminds me of walle. God what a horrible existence that would be

I get what you mean but there are plenty of cases where the disability may have predated the obesity - e.g. if someone has a disability that effects their mobility then it might cause them to put loads of weight on because they can't move much and they feel depressed.

You don't really know what's going on with someone just from seeing a little snapshot of their life like this.

I cant help it I do look down on fat people at the store riding scooters and getting junk food. Next time you're at the store peak in a fat person's cart and you'll see that its full of cokes and potato chips and twinkies. But these same people will say "iTs mY gEnEtIcS!!"

The sad part is it's actually really easy to lose weight if you're not lazy and you'll just do it. People enable fatties too much by telling them its a disease. Its just pure weakness. They're fat because they choose to be fat.

I think in some cases those scooters do encourage laziness. Where someone able might've otherwise walked. What I hate is sitting on a bus, theater, etc. But treated like I'm the inconvenience or annoyance to them. Or act like I don't like being crammed against the wall. By someone panting like a Labrador & rubbing their sweaty arm flaps on me. Looking like a can of busted biscuits, in clothes way too small!

push him outta da scooter, I wanna see thm stuggle dawg :3

Theres a way to solve that bs. Install a screen on the back of the seat, thats lights up bright and clear where everyone can see, and when they go to sit behind the wheel, it displays how much they weigh by displaying different animals (pig, cow, hippo, elephant, etc.) I bet they think twice before having that 4th piece of pie at dinner.

Then dont look you retard

They should be frog matched back home.

ding dongs

It's a "strategy" for sure, there's a resource to protect people like that and there are obviously people who would gladly become overweight so they get free money

It means not caring about your weight or doing physical work, being able to eat whatever you want whenever you want, having a source of income, and an easy excuse when people call you out (because how will a stranger know they don't really have a glandular problem)

It's basically a life built around instant gratification

One plus side though is these people really bear no significant role in society except for friends and family, so as long as you're not an employee on duty you can basically say and do whatever you want to them
