I recently quit a part-time job as a swim instructor due to a lot of things, but mostly due to the aquatics coordinator. She taught lessons as well and not only did she clearly have a few bulbs out upstairs, but she was a fucking land whale. The worst part was that she would make a slew of excuses for why she was too lazy to get in the water to teach (“I have a wedding to go to and I don’t want to smell like chlorine,” “I have a meeting in an hour,” “I have an ear infection”) and they were all so embarrassingly fake. When I shadowed her, I watched her stand in one place on deck and never move once while she basically had the student swim up and down the lane over and over for half the lesson until I asked if I could go ahead and step in.

This bitch was like Abby Lee Miller with zero of the credentials—a big, unfriendly tub of lard who had no connection with the students and DEFINITELY no connection with swimming. Imagine having an entire pool at your disposal all hours of the day and being a MSHPL contestant. Fucking baffling.

Weird, over here instructors never teach lessons in the pool but stay on the poolside. However, 99% of the times they're young, fit people who are clearly very active. The only overweight instructors are usually over 65s and they're far and few between.

In my opinion it’s better to be in the water so that you can demonstrate, and you can see smaller technical things like whether their keeping their fingers together, straightening their knees etc. etc. On top of that I find it more encouraging for the kids who are scared of swimming, like monkey see monkey do.

I honestly don't get how fat people love swimming so much.

I recently had a “celebrity” deathfat encounter. I was at a local cafe/shop grabbing coffee with my significant other. On weekends we usually walk there in the morning. It’s a small place but they have houseplants and trinkets for sale so I always do a lap to see what’s new.

I’m behind a person who’s probably twice as wide as me and kind of shuffling around. Since the store is small and I’m not really looking for anything, instead of trying to push around her I just turn around and go to a different area to peruse.

Then I sneak a peak back to see her and it’s Sonalee Rashatwar holding some plants she’s getting. The place isn’t too crowded but she did look pretty insecure and seemed self-conscious that it was such a small place where she was blocking paths. She was quiet, and apart from being in my way wasn’t a problem. Because it was hot she was wearing clothes that showed some skin around arms and shoulders which were the size of thick thighs.

I almost wanted to go up to her and confirm who she was and act like a “fan”, but I truly can’t stand her empty brain. Apart from that she was also just doing her thing but I was still shook by her size.
 
I could easily cross post this in the retail horror thread, but one night when I first cashiered four massive fucks all on scooters drove into my lane. I’m talkin’ fat dripping down the sides and multiple chins FAT, mind you.

Turns out they were an entire family of infinifats. They all had their grocery baskets filled to the brim. Yes, it was all junk food. Since I had no bagger that night I not only scanned but bagged all of this shit by myself. They stayed in their scootypuffs watching me.

Eventually I got to the end. The bill was over $600 after discounts. The matriarch infinifat whipped out her EBT card and swiped. It covered the entire bill.
 
This is less of a funny deathfat story, more of a mild powerlevel top hat moment. But this is what happens when being against obesity is seen as a hate crime.
My friend has a neurological disability. They can walk short distances, on good days they can walk a bit further with a cane and braces, but if they are going to be doing a lot of walking they need a wheelchair or something.
Friend had to get groceries and planned on using one of the motorized shopping carts. When they got to the store, none of the motorized carts were available. They decided to get the essentials while waiting for a cart to be available. None of the carts ever freed up, and they were all taken up by very fat people (probably not deathfat level, but too obese to walk through the grocery store) and at least one of them had piled up a bunch of junk food.
By the time they were done getting a few items, they were too tired out to go somewhere else and get the rest of their groceries.
TLDR: Fatties prevented a disabled person from running errands.

This is a huge peeve of mine, especially when it’s like a “normal” fat sized person who could probably walk through the store just fine but would rather not.

The last time I was on a plane the following message played on the intercom:

“If you requested a wheelchair, we will have agents ready to provide them right outside the plane.” I passed by at least five when I got off.

I took the shuttle to transfer terminals, and there were so many fatties in wheelchairs clogging space.

The best part is, if you have your own wheelchair, you get to cut in front of everyone else in the airport wheelchairs when boarding. At least, that's what Southwest and Spirit do. First on the plane, and last off.

Whoo boy, the shitty glares that genuine cripple gets as they roll past the fatties is so satisfying.
 
Not many deathfats in Eastern Europe so I don't really have personal experiences, but here's a fun article

The Serbs Stared at Us, So We Stared Back. They Have No Awareness of Fat People

Also, I have a coworker who is very fat by our standards but perhaps not a deathfat. My workplace has a decent amount of fit people and we often talk about fitness (eg someone is training for a marathon or getting their yoga instructor license), and she always joins in with some absurd complaint how she got all these fitness accessories but isn't losing weight. Like she wants to try lifting? Buys her own dumbells. Wants to try running? Expensive running shoes. Trying yoga? Mats, yoga blocks and expensive yoga pants. I swear to God, she sees fitness as a cargo cult. It's incredibly frustrating, and I notice others also avoid her nowadays
 
The other day I went to a concert at a stadium, and there was assigned seating. The seats were already pretty narrow for American stadium seating and were wedged really close together. Luckily, for the opening act, the seats to the left of me were empty so I could dance around.

Then the main act came on and this big bitch plopped down next to me. She wasn’t a “deathfat” by American standards per se, but she looked to be well over 300 pounds and her girth spilled over into my space. My boyfriend, who was sitting on the other side of me, asked if I wanted to switch seats and I said “yes please,” admittedly pretty loudly. She looked so offended. Sorry lady, but when you’re that big you should absolutely buy two seats. It might be embarrassing, but is it more embarrassing than the people next to you being disgusted with you because you’re so fat that you are invading their space? I payed good money for my seat. Why should I have to share it with you because you couldn’t put the fork down?

I was in a second hand store and there was a woman in her early 20’s that was probably 50 lbs from being in a XL wheelchair. She was tall but easily over 500 lbs. She was in a stretchy tube dress type thing and the stench was fucking unreal. It triggered my gag reflex when I was within 10 feet of her. I didn’t even see her first, the smell made me immediately look around to find out where the stench was coming from.

Homeless drunks in piss stained clothes they’ve slept in for a month don’t smell this bad. She is probably so accustomed to smelling like rancid grease and feces that’s been baking in the sun all day, she didn’t even realize she was making a store full of ppl retch.

It was like she had turned on a force field as every human in the store cleared away from her. A crazy looking skinny meth’ed out older woman with a dog was with her but I figured maybe years of snorting meth eradicated her olfactory senses.

I left the store quickly because I wanted to avoid ever getting down wind of this person. Open sewers have a more appealing and tolerable odor.
 
Now that we're talking about deathfat smell, I had an encounter recently.
I was using the public transport in my city, which is shit, the seats are very small and close together, so it's impossible to not touch the person next to you unless you are both very thin. However, one time the woman next to me was at least 400 lbs, and the smell was absolutely disgusting. It was so bad that I was visibly gagging, and had to focus to not barf. For the record, my sense of smell is useless, but that bitch's stank was so horrendous that it made me smell something for the first time in years
 
If people are loud and play music or yell at high volumes,they get fined for disturbing the peace.

We need to make this for stink. Why is it that someone can't play loud music BUT someone who stinks up the entire place is somehow not just as bad?
 
I met one in the army and the guy still kinda blows my mind. He was a high-level general who came to give us a pep talk. This guy was as tall as he was fat. He was probably about 400lbs at like 5 foot nothing. He also had been through every high-speed course the army had ever given. The guy had a Special Forces and Ranger Tab, and also some skill badges I've only seen once or twice (scuba bubble). So at some point this guy was fucking Rambo before turning into Jabba the Hutt.

Also had a fellow soldier introduce me to his wife. He was in amazing shape, a decent-looking guy, and everyone liked bullshitting with him. I was out with a bunch of friends and we saw him coming outta the restaurant we were entering. We stop and talk for a bit, and then notice this very short and immensely fat woman waddle up behind him. He introduced her as his wife and we were all nice, but you couldn't help but see the embarrassment on his face as he did so. Nobody was a shithead about it but we all kinda were shocked that this six-pack abs, fitness model looking guy was banging a waterbed.

Other one was a kid in Uni. He was called 'Big George' and he must have been creeping up on the 500lb mark. Very nice guy and good friend. He basically wore blankets as clothes and him in a suit was something to see. I never actually saw him eating to excess, if anything he ate less than most people. I suspect he probably goes hard when people are not around or it could be a legit health issue. Last I heard, he was putting in a decent effort to lose weight and had slimmed down a bit.

The Dependapotamus is a military meme for a reason. I’ve never even been in the military, but I’ve been around enough military communities to see how true it is firsthand. Always some doofy looking (but thin and sometimes tall) white dude with a short, dumpy wife with terrible dyed blonde hair who wears lularoe leggings, shirts with sassy slogans and has a brood of unkempt, unruly children screaming as she lumbers around the store.

I avoid the Costco close to the American military base out here for this very reason. It’s teeming with fat base wives.

I think it happens because the dudes marry some basic dumb Midwestern chick at 19-20 for the increased paycheck, and once she’s a perma-housewife, she lets herself go.
 
So I saw a very obese man yesterday - honestly no where near the size of the deathfats on this forum, but really big, sloppy, eating, not looking after himself. And I HATED it. Compared with seeing deathfats on social media, the reality of seeing them IRL is painful and depressing.


I was hit intensely by this feeling of sadness and pity. I felt like I was watching someone who'd been in a horrible accident, or watching someone trying to commit suicide. Whenever I've seen deathfats in real life, I've felt this way. Watching their antics on YouTube or Instagram feels so different, it doesn't really hit me that the people are real and are in the process of eating themselves to death.


Is this a typical way to feel about deathfats IRL? There's a small amount of disgust, but mostly it's just sadness, seeing someone so sick.
