Overweight man sues Air France over seat row

I love the lawyers comment-

A lawyer representing Air France told a court on Tuesday the company had a clear policy of asking obese passengers to pay for two seats.

"Let's be objective. This man is fat," lawyer Fernand Gamault told the court in Bobigny, according to Le Parisien newspaper. "He barely fits on the courtroom chair. How could he sit in an airplane?"

Classic.


"Everyone thinks their opinion matters. Don't argue with a nobody. A farmer doesn't bother telling a pig his breath smells like s***."

I refuse to believe plus size people are the problem......planes need bigger seats!

What's the problem?


What part of "no" don't you understand?

I hope this doesn't give Metra any ideas about charging double for plump, sprawled-out, passed-out, shitfaced commuters. I'm not mentioning any names.

Let's not get mean about this.

I just thought the lawyer's brutal honesty was amusing, especially since I see this as a frivilous lawsuit-in France of all places.
