Do you look at the fattest person in the elevator if the alarm goes off? email this discussion to a friend?

I saw a show yesterday about overweight people and how they are treated in society. One says that every time he goes into the elevator and if its to the maximum capacity and the alarm goes off, people around him would look at him, expecting that it was his fault and that he should get off. This even happened to him a few times when he was the first person in the elevator. What's up with that? How can they be so rude? What's ur take on this?

wow.. true.. it's so truee... although i'm not that overweight person.. i do look at the fattet person if the alarm goes off.. haha.. i know it's some kind of discrimination and it's bad.. who doesn't know it's bad to look at people such way.. what should we do then if the alarm goes off? should we chase away the one that recently just entered? is it better to sacrifice one than to sacrifice all? actually.. i think it's quite good to look at him at times.. maybe it will make him feel bad.. and he might get some exercise to slim himself down? who knows.. we're the one should be thank in the future? erm.. it's hard to decide though.

I don't think anyone choose to be fat. I know of people who are fat because they have a condition. But, isn't common sense that the person that entered the elvator the latest is the one required to leave? One can not tell the fat person at the back of the elevator to get off. It's just wrong. Thanks for response.

I agree it is rude. Some people have dieases that cause them to be over weight and also in todays society that is just very wrong.

I agree, it's just rude to do that. It's all the lack of education they've received. Thanks for the response.

well I usually am the fattest person in the elevator, and I don't think I caused it but I have done other things like break chairs etc.

There are some things that can't be controlled. As long as you are happy with youself, is what counts. Thanks for response.

That is so rude and ignorant on their part.......they should ask the question on why every one wants to jump on that one elevator when there are so many others around.

Cool question. I guess people do too many assumptions and do things that the society expects off and is just wrong. Thanks for response.

I am overweight, also, though not to a great degree. I would feel very offended if this were to happen to me in an elevator. It is very sad that people actually stoop to that level, anyways. Arg. Some people these days. They need to get a life.
