Oh I collected multiple embarrassing stories by now.
One happened a couple weeks ago while I sat on the bus. Since it was a travel bus the seats where more spacious, but my fat ass still spilled over to the next one.. a few stations later a man came to sit on his designated seat right next to me and I could tell he felt uncomfortable but what should I do… he attempted to pull down the armrest multiple times only to find out it wouldn’t go down because of my love handles/thighs. He even tried to squish it down past my fat, it was so uncomfortable.
We had very weird eye contact afterwards and I told him I’m sorry. Worst thing was that I packed lots of snacks for the ride (was about 6h) and anytime I ate cookies or whatever, he glanced over and I could tell he judged me. Towards the end of the ride and my many snacks he told me that it’s my fault for looking like this haha
I just told him that I personally don’t have a problem with this and we sat there in silence
So sorry to hear that, sounds like an awful experience

especially both scolding and the armrest part combined. Very impressive and cool that you stood up for yourself and your body though! ^^
