What are some things that you almost always see fat people do that you don't always see thin people do?

Float effortlessly at the pool

Line up at the local 5k in sweats and walking shoes, AT THE FVCKING FRONT. Along with all of the goddamn kids.

Oh and another scene from a local 5k: They had donuts, muffins, and other crap available during the awards. All of the fatties who came to watch the race were digging right in. I was standing nearby wondering why they needed all of those useless calories and noticed that no one with a decent finish touched that table.

By the way, I consider myself to be a complete loser for noticing this latter behavior. It's none of my business and I'm not sure why I care. Well maybe because thanks to Mr. Obama it's my tax dollars that will go toward keeping these people out of the ground.

More and more, LRC threads tend to be incredibly lame. It has become a forum for the angry, the hateful, and the immature.

A morbidly obese woman at work and her morbidly obese husband both have to sleep with oxygen masks due to their sleep apnea. Caused, of course, by the pressure of their excessive fat when they lie down restricting their breathing. That's not hateful, it's just the truth.

You are almost correct. It's called Obesity Hypoventilation Syndrome. They can't breath deep enough etc so they don't get enough oxygen delivery - CO2 levels rise. It's pretty common for obese people to need to sleep with a machine and mask to create positive airway pressure - this may or may not be accompanied by oxygen. The "cure" is to recommend weight loss, including through surgical means, bariatric surgery.

When you are fat a lot if that crap that they eat syays in their system. They get indigestiin, constipatio and diareah. A lot if times they dont properly chew their food they are so excited about eating that they forget and some times choke. So bottom line if you are fat then youre probably walking around with a lot of terd inside you and maybe thats why fat peoole normally smell terribly... they are prone to many health problems. Use sub elite and elite runners are healthy and lean keep on running!!!!

People lose their shame if their subject to constant punishment, run to the top

snack on donut crumbs hidden between fat folds

Lots of "fat hate" goin on here. Oh to be young and dumb again.....

It's not fat hate you cis scum it's FAT SHAMING and it's promoted by the patriarchal misogynist society

Lol, another South Park reference. Pc, bro!

I would like to see Galen Rupp and Mo Farah get fat and race each other over the marathon distance

A marathoner is usually less than 170 and 6', just generally speaking.

Okay, I can't really say "always," but I've often seen fat folks bring small personal fans to work...while many of the normal people have to wear a sweater (and thermal undershirts, say) because the office is so friggin' cold.

^^ This ^^

Between the menopausal women and the fat people, the thermostat gets turned down to "Penguin Habitat." I keep a space heater in my office under my desk just to keep from shivering.

See a lot of skinny people doing that also. Also see skinny people driving around the parking lot for spots and a zillion other of these behaviors like eating crap.

Only a couple of these are really fat specific (getting stuck in a door) or even caused by obesity (i.e. the sleep apnea. know a skinny person with it be he is defintitely the exception).

When a person is fat, we look for reasons to blame them for it. When a person is skinny we look for reasons why (i.e. that person walks an extra 100 calories/day). Reality is a lot more complicated as a result of genetics, how we were raised (i.e. being fed crap from age 1 and not being encouraged to exercise), and then what we do later in life all coming together. Most people can be at least average weight but it is orders of magnitude easier for people who got decent genes, learned to eat food that doesn't come in a box, and made it to 25 without becoming obese.

bernard lagat made it to 40 without being fat and even won the US trials in the 5000 meters, yet about 80% of Americans half his age who can barely make it to the fridge to get another pudding pie. They take the car to down the block to the corner store instead of walking. Are most Americans that lazy?

Insist on sitting at a booth at a restaurant. Standard chairs at tables are too small for them.

These symptoms sound horrible. Amazing that people won't just lose the weight. Maybe this thread should be retitled "Habits that make people fat" to help them identify things to change.

One habit I only see fat people do is eating stuff at the grocery store before paying for it, walking around the grocery store with a "snack." It takes 5 minutes to buy stuff, they really can't wait that long?

If our streets and cities were designed for walking (in part by having excellent public transportation) and biking, everyone would do it just like they do in Europe and few people would be fat and obese. In our current state, it is possible obviously to avoid obesity but 40% of women are obese and 2/3 of the adult population is overweight or obese, and that is in part a structural issue.

Wrong information! They prefer tables because it's easier to push the chair farther back to make room for their bellies at a table than it is to move the table in a booth.

I always ask for a booth because my bony arse can't handle a hard, wood chair for the duration of a good meal.

I don't know if what you say is accurate or not, but I can hardly sit in a booth anymore. My wife is 5'2", 100 lbs. and is left sitting about 3 feet from the table to accommodate the much larger clientele.
