There's also the fact that he (most likely) paid more than you for his ticket.
Where in the world does that happen?
OP is an Australian uni student, so I made the assumption that he was holding a concession ticket. Apparently he wasn't.
Oh okay I thought overweight people pay more for their bus rides at some places.

Being fat is not a disability, it is a choice.

I am a pharmaceutical scientist. I received my Masters degree in Pharmaceutics from the University of the Sciences in Philadelphia in 2010, after working as a Pharmacist for 4 years. I currently work in King of Prussia, PA, and focus on the analytical chemistry of small molecule APIs. My clients include some of the most well known big pharma companies in the world.

I'm a pharmaceutical scientist and I have performed research on nutrition utilization which has been published in a couple well-known medical journals. Obesity is largely a choice. There are some medical issues or drugs that can aid in weight gain, but by and large, if you're overweight it's your own damn fault. To call obesity a "disability" is really an insult to being politically correct.

If being obese is a disability, then restaurants and grocery stores, and more importantly, the governments that allow food to be sold, shouldn't enable the citizens.

You know most people that are fat are fat because their parents were fat and the gene was just passed on.
This is true.

No it's not. If anything their parents were fat and their sedentary lifestyle and poor eating habits were passed on. Fat gene... hilarious.

Nope.

You got kicked off because you said no? Should have said Early bird gets the worm. I would never give my seat up to someone like that. But I would give it up for someone who had an obvious disability that didn't require them to take up two seats.

A competitive players main goal is to win.
A casuals main goal is to have fun regardless of whether that results in a win or loss.
It has nothing to do with individual skill or knowledge, it has to do with the reason you play.

This is bull-blam!-, gene doesn't make you fat, what you eat and lack of exercise does.

They should do on flights. I pay the same at 85kg as somebody at 130kg for a seat...then I have to pay for 1kg extra luggage if I'm taking loads? I call BS on that.

You have every right to your seat. It was illegal for the bus driver to kick you off the bus, that is against the law to kick you off in favor of someone else. Just forget about it and next time when this happens, just ignore them and refuse to go off the bus. Its called standing up for yourself, I've done this before.

Hey OP, have you ever considered he was overweight because of his disability? No?


And to the guy saying he should have provided a "medical certificate"...no...people with disabilities don't need to carry documentation around just to validate public concessions like being given a seat.

Either take that statement back or agree that all fat people can use disability seating whenever they feel like it, despite the vast majority of them not having a medical reason for their bulk and simply being really lazy and taking no care of their bodies. Your choice.

Yes, clearly those are the only two options. If that's the case, then I choose to give up my seat. I'd give up my seat if anyone asked. I take public transit daily and I almost always stand because things like seats on a bus are such a trivial issue. There is no way for OP to know if the man actually had a disability, but it is remarkably uncommon for someone to lie directly to another person's face like that, and he should've just been a gentleman and given it up; instead, he got kicked off. Clearly there was a correct decision here.

By the way, obesity is considered a disability by the government. But please, continue to look down on people because of their weight. That's much better than just being a nice person.

Damn right I'll look down on anybody who's so disgustingly lazy they can't resist shoving their fat face with food and then expect to get preferential treatment.

Oh, and LAWL @ you saying it's uncommon to lie about having a disability. Do you actually live on this planet?

As someone who is average weight and not at all fat I can say OP, stop being a douche. If he demanded the seat, by all means say no, and explain you don't let people talk to you like that and he should be more polite, after all, you don't have to give up your seat. But, don't sit here and say fat people this or fat people that... That's a douchy way to think of others and you should mention people on an individual bases instead of classing people like you have.
