Oversize Man Sues White Castle Over Seats

[Johnny_Ray_Wilson]

I love it.

Great find, Miles.

Once White Castle builds a booth large enough to accommodate him, his next lawsuit will be against White Castle because he is too fat sit in his car.

I realize you aren't one of the deep thinker Lit Conservatives, but what is it you find offensive about the story? That he is exercising his Constitutional right to have his grievance addressed by the courts? Perhaps you think the government should regulate who can file a lawsuit?

Why do you people make shit up, then give someone the third degree about it? If you think I was offended, that's a you problem. Go argue with yourself, "deep thinker."

Idiot.

Wow! You wrote THREE sentences! You are coming along nicely in your quest to actually say something.

So you're a conservative who supports the Americans with Disabilities Act.
That's interesting.
See, as a conservative I detest the ADA, know that it has resulted in higher numbers of disabled being unemployed, and has led to God knows how many frivolous lawsuits.

Fuck the ADA!

It is not our fault you legs don't work. You could crawl up those steps if you were not such a lazy leech on society!

Let Big Business sell you some new legs and make you normal like all of us.

I happen to like the curb cuts. If I were pushing a stroller (not that that will ever happen), I'd like em even better.

I also like the extra room in the handicap stall. I need to spread my wings when on the throne.

This sounds like very lazy thinking; generalizing and making unsubstantiated statements.

In your world, how would a handicapped person - perhaps someone who lost his legs in a terrorist attack - get into a courthouse which, for the sake of looking pompous and imposing, might have twenty or thirty steps up to its main entrance?

Would you demand that he crawl up them?

And if he can't make it, then he has not right to be heard?

--- But fat people aren't handicapped, so it shouldn't apply to them, I agree.

Pete, you aren't normal.

awe JohnieBeStupid, what's funny about this is that your an ass. 2nd, the government has no role in this. why should they?

Looks to me like the jucidial branch of the government is about to have a role.

 

[Sonny Limatina]

If the disabled can't be trusted to be born normal and stay that way, why should we trust them with their own bathroom stalls and parking spots?

If some idiot loses his legs, it's not my fault.

He should go back and look for them.

If he finds them, good. If not, it'll teach him a lesson for not being more careful.

or a Twinkie.

What's really funny about this, is that Lit's faux conservatives would be beside themselves if the government regulated that fast food joints had to have fattie tables. Because, they would argue, a private citizen should be able to sue if they are wronged, and the government has no right to regulate seat sizes.

So here's a private citizen suing, like they advocate, and they are up in arms about it.

These dopes make true conservatives, like me, laugh a lot.

Who is a "faux" conservative here? Name them.

I'm not aware of anyone here who thinks lard asses should sue to get bigger chairs. Tort reform is a huge issue with conservatives.

Maybe lard asses should buy their own special chair to carry with them when they go indulge their food obsession.

NANUET, N.Y. - A 290-pound New York man is steaming mad at the White Castle fast-food chain, which he claims repeatedly broke promises to make the booths in his local eatery bigger.

Martin Kessman, 64, filed a lawsuit against the fast-food giant last week in Manhattan federal court, claiming that the uncomfortable booths violate the civil rights of fat people.

Kessman's lawsuit came more than two years after he complained to White Castle about the size of the booths at the Nanuet, N.Y., eatery and reportedly received a pledge that renovations would be carried out to cater for larger customers.

"They sent me specs and everything, about how the booths were going to be enlarged and made comfortable for people with a little more weight. So two and a half years went by, and nothing was done," he told the NY Post , adding that he has no problem finding a place to take a load off at other fast-food places and fits easily into airline seats.

The Americans with Disabilities Act is "applicable -- not only to me, but to pregnant women and to handicapped people," according to Kessman, who is suing for bigger chairs and unspecified damages. "I just want to sit down like a normal person."

People are getting so heavy, I wouldn't be surprised if we see +sized seats at bookstores and bus stops.

These seats should be put at ALL fast foods for sarcasm.

Get his "cheese was extra" line below:

"Kessman says he’s complained about the lack of proper seating for creatures of his girth for more than two years, but all he’s gotten for his trouble is coupons for free hamburgers.

“Cheese was extra,” complained Kessman in the lawsuit filed in federal court.

Kessman, a fan of the No. 2 combo, says he’s suffered physical and emotional pain from his ordeal. His knee was injured from repeatedly slamming it into the unyielding steel table supports at the eatery. And the lack of proper seating has made him feel “like an outcast.”"

 

[off2bed]

That's what made him feel like an outcast?

Not his whiney attitude? Not his fat ass?

That or they ran out of #2 combos

 

[off2bed]

We were at Steak N Shake once, and a massive lard ass guy wedged himself into a nearby booth and ordered a triple cheeseburger.

Made me throw up in my mouth a little.

What? Were you not expecting a fat person to be at a fast food joint? Fucking idiot.

 

[NeverEndingMe]

I think that man needs to go #2

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Actually, don't most fast food joints already have lard-ass seating, better known as free-standing tables with loose chairs?

You're the current biggest dipsh*t on the board so not sure why anyone would care about your opinions or your absurd self-labelling of yourself as a "conservative."

Congrats, you have now taken the biggest dipsh*t on the board away from longtime holder Dick Dailey. That's quite an accomplishment!

Here's old lard ass at the White Castle.

I bet he doesn't get laid much, if ever.

...

Actually I think fat and/or ugly people probably have sex more often than most people.

It seems like they are more likely to be married. Perhaps, of course, they are in sexless marriages but I doubt all these marriages are sexless.

Was at the pool recently and there was a huge couple (both ugly too) frolicking and embracing in the pool. It was funny but sad in a way. Like they're getting action and I'm going home alone? WTF?

 

[MNGuy]

He just looks like a grumpy Gus. Can't appreciate a crisp Autumn day. A good shit. Or a long morning snooze.

I read this...REALLY? fuck, give me a break.
