Social Fat shaming. 489 pound woman is suing Lyft after one of their drivers refused to let her ride in his vehicle because of his concerns about her fitting

i'm guessing no, or if there is, they've arbitrarily raised the cost. otherwise i don't think a lawyer would even take the case.
There is and it isn't arbitrary. Large vehicles burn more gas and are more expensive to operate.

I've used UberXL many times, but that's when it's a group of people. This heifer needs UberXXXL.

She weighs a quarter ton. Most regular cars cannot handle that weight.
 
There's no way Lyft doesn't have an arbitration clause that customers and drivers have/are forced to agree to. Maybe they'll get someone like Judge Judy to laugh this out of court.
This is a good point. I know uber has independent drivers not employees. Doubt it will go anywhere if thats the case
 
I'm all about levels of severity. If you're fat but trying to get in shape or athletic fat like DC, obviously that's fine. But being insanely big and unhealthy AND having the audacity to catch an attitude with people about it? Nah, fuck off.

Yeah, the proud to be really fat crowd make me physically ill. What about just large men like football players or pro body builders like Eddie hall or Brian can’t think of his last name, but worlds strongest men types. Or bjorn (the mountain from game of thrones) The airline would probably make them buy two seats but some fat fuck……nah, make everyone else suffer
 
Let me go into your car and break something that'll cost thousands to fix, which I don't care about since it doesn't affect me, because my lazy ass wants to go from point A to B immediately even though I know I could arrange for alternate transport in a van or SUV with little effort. You need a certain level of empathy and intelligence to understand why the driver doesn't want to risk it, but she doesn't have that. It's all about me me me and immediate gratification floating in a sea of dull, barely formed thoughts. Lots of people like this, not usually this fat though.

More like floating in a sea of pudding
 
For sure but there is also a reasonable expectation for there to be circumstances where she won't be able to be accommodated. Obviously, she'd need a driver with a big van or truck and not a compact

Jesus. Buffalo Bill from silence of the lambs would cream his shorts but he would need a lot of lotion and one big ass basket.
 
Serious question: a standard seat belt can't accommodate someone with Big Shows Weight and Might Mouses Height...can they?
 
It's not necessarily her weight. Normal cars can handle 3 guys in an Uber/lyft who weigh more collectively then her. It's that she's so wide she probably couldn't fit in the door of the car the guy was driving. She should have ordered the xl option which
Lyft has. She probably ordered the cheapest option and dude pulls up in a Ford escort. Not gonna work lady
 
People who weight this much are rapidly destroying their spine. Even when they lose the weight they cant walk anymore due to the severe damage.
 
She'll die from the strain of standing up from a seated position long before she makes it to court.
Would be pretty lucky for the driver, wonder if he/she has any delaying tactics that could be used.

Also btw GOAT av still, even though @TeTe just switched back to his best one IMO

**edit**
Okay upon further research the new one @Slobodan is rocking has entered the chat

Hopefully she loses this case lol. I wouldn't want her slightly overweight ass in my car either but that's just my opinion. Same goes for a guy covered in shit or a person in under wear. It's at the driver's discretion to decide and it's not a protected class.
