Fortunately, not me. That being the case for most jobs. I'm assuming you're asking about hard, explicit limits where actual numbers and measurements are used as a limit.

I suppose there might be an implicit limit in the sense of a sheer inability to perform the essential functions of the job. But, this number will vary from person and will also be very large. For most jobs, I doubt that'd be a problem unless you're in the top 0.5-1% "most heavy," and at that point you might be having problems in your personal life. At that point I'm talking well over 500-550, even 600+.

That said, there are a small number of jobs that could have such a limit, or where being beyond such a limit could cause hassle, and I'll list some examples.

One of the latest trends I've heard is of long haul truck drivers (company drivers) who have a neck circumference above a certain number, perhaps 18" or 18.5" being forced to use CPAP machines out of concerns over sleep apnea. Thing is, unless you really have sleep apnea it not only doesn't help but just causes a whole lot of hassles and problems. I've been told I snore, and I'm nowhere as large as that. Big deal. Anyway, this new requirement only increased the rate of churn for a job that already experiences extremely high rates of churn (the average new driver doesn't last beyond the first year). Why this is, is beyond the scope of this post.

I suppose anything which might require the wearing of a safety harness, perhaps because of working from great heights. An example of this would be radio tower technician, since someone has to be able to go up there to repair and replace the equipment up top. For a long time, those safety harnesses topped out at 250 lbs, which also had to include the weight of tools and replacement parts. Although I would expect safety harnesses with higher capacities have been introduced.

Anything that requires the use of an extension ladder. Last I saw, it's still possible to buy models that are only rated for 250 lbs, although models that support 400 lbs are far more common. Now that said, in the professional trades world, they're moving more towards bucket trucks and other lifts with railings, as those are considerably safer than ladders. Those lifts presumably have a much higher weight capacity.

Perhaps obviously, anything that involves modeling and acting, which are also the only occupations in the U.S. that are exempt from anti-racial discrimination laws, and are part of an extremely short list of exemptions from anti-age discrimination laws.

That said, I would be be interested to see what other jobs, if any might have explicit weight limits like this. I'm not really aware of very many. In other thread, I pointed out there was a 700+ lb owner of a tow truck business, and he was apparently able to perform those tasks just fine, despite the physical nature of the job.

Yeah, and that PM I just received, also generated an e-mail like it was supposed to.

So, problem solved, I guess?

I have no idea what happened this morning but if it doesn't repeat itself, I'm not gonna worry about it.

I just sent one.

Interestingly, the e-mail I get if there's a post right after I make a thread or reply, that seems to still be working the same as before.

I haven't seen anyone else report this, and maybe this is a new problem, perhaps introduced at about the same time the notifications area changed (which is very recent) ?

Anyway, I apparently did NOT get an e-mail telling me someone sent a PM to me, even though I did get one a few hours earlier. This is in spite of having the account settings set to send those e-mails to me.

So, this appears to be a new bug. I did check the Junk directory to make sure it wasn't that.

To be clear, I'm talking about PMs on the web site and not within the chat.

Necroposting kind of goes both ways. If done properly, it's not inherently bad. Maybe the OP wants to follow up, or the thread provides a solid base of discussion to build upon. Although, as user accounts get deleted, older threads might have a broken flow so other posts in the thread are now out of context. Depending on how old the thread it, the information might even be out of date. So, it might still be a good idea to start a new thread anyway.

When it becomes a problem are personals ads which don't age well.. I'd even go so far as to say if the thread is more than 3 months ago, don't bother replying. this is because there's no practical way to track whether the thread was successful, if the OP is still interested, still single, etc. The OP can always make another thread.

I get the sometimes intense desire to find someone, but bumping old threads, especially when the OP is long gone, not only doesn't help but makes the personing doing the necroposting look bad.

Another time when it's a problem is if someone bumps an old thread just to start a problem when none exist. I almost locked a recent thread where someone did just that, but I decided I would wait to see how it played out.

On "My 600lb Life," there were quite a few.

One of the featured patients had his own tow truck business despite being a little over 700 lbs.

Aside from the tow truck, which of course had a front bench seat and a column shifted automatic transmission, his regular daily driver car was a Lincoln Towncar, which also had a front bench seat and a column shifter.

Another patient was an accountant that, despite weighing nearly 750 lbs, showed up to the office every day. They either had a business casual dress policy, or due to size, simply didn't mind he wore a polo shirt with no tie to work each day. He had an L-shaped desk carefully arranged around a special chair.

I haven't seen every episode but there's likely a few more, so yeah there's quite a few such jobs and probably almost any desk job or indoor office job would work.

The tow truck driver was probably the most active from what I recall, though.

While not as big, there's definitely quite a few construction workers and tradesmen who exceed 300 or 350. This is anecdotal but I've seen it. On the other hand, I don't know if I've seen any extension ladders with a weight capacity that exceeds 400, and exceeding that would be very dangerous as I don't know how much "buffer" was built-in to that.

This reads like a personal ad which is fine, but I'm moving this to the appropriate board.

Minimum plus tips? That's new. Maybe only during certain times and you're expected to maintain a minimum acceptance rate?

When I did it, there was no guaranteed wage at all, you'd only get paid if an order came in, you accepted it, and it was delivered. Some time periods would have almost no orders at all.

Anyway, if you do it, at least do these things:

The early evening hours are the only time the pay approaches something closer to say, pizza delivery. So basically 5:30 to 6PM until maybe around 9:30PM.

After 10PM, that's when most of the takeout restaurants will close, and that's when you start dealing with the drunks. Not worth it.

Speaking of the actual delivery, there was no contactless option back then. I had to physically hand the bag over, every single time. If they don't answer the door? I have to wait until they do. I once had to wait 10-15 minutes, meanwhile not getting paid. Hated that shit so much. That would have been a godsend back then.

Above all, avoid the crowded downtown areas or anywhere parking is tight. Even one parking ticket wipes out any income for the day, and that also takes much longer. The sooner orders get finished, the more tips you can get.

I also remembered one time spending an hour looking for an apartment because it was kind of hidden out of the way and the phone call relay system decided to fail that night, but that's a one off and not typical.

Eventually you'll learn which restaurants are slow, so you might think twice about accepting orders from them. I remember one time an order was a steakhouse, and I waited half an hour unpaid for it to get cooked. I'd eventually get more tip for doing that but I didn't know that going in.

Speaking of tips, don't prioritize the rich areas. The tips aren't generally any better, usually about the same or sometimes worse, and sometimes there's a greater sense of entitlement. Some of the best tips came from those living in cheap, kind of run down apartments.

And perhaps obviously, don't go into the dangerous parts of town, ever. I heard of cases of the car getting stolen and the driver getting robbed. Yet I've also heard that if you carry a gun and use it, they'll fire you for it, regardless of the reason, even if perfectly justified (like getting assaulted or robbed).
