As a small child in an amusement park, you match your height against that of the sign next to a ride to see if you qualify. As an adult we also come up against the size barrier. When we were children we fooled ourselves to think we could qualify by standing up straight or on our tippy toes and hope the teen operating the ride overlooked this slight exaggeration. Pushing the envelope as an adult is a bit more difficult. We fool ourselves into thinking that we can squeeze our morbidly obese figure into subway seats designed for people half our size, hoping the person next to us doesn't realize.
That's why all the new trains have no speed bump dividers on the seats. Just one ambiguous flat bench for everyone to sit with no boundaries! I'm sick of social sensitivity.
ReplyDeleteYes, I've ridden the subway with you, I know how much space you consume!
