A lyft driver refuses a plus size woman in his car

[Soubriquet]

I feel sorry for him. He’s going to lose his job at this rate, as management seem to be seeking her out to apologise.

Could he have worded it better? Absolutely.

Is she right to demand to ride in his car when he says she won’t fit and will damage his car? No!

Theres XL lyft for this exact reason

I'd like to echo this

What a very rude comment.

The irony of you saying HE said something nasty, and then coming out with THAT!

I wouldn't have let her into my car either.

Presumably? That's an assumption on your part.

Yes I understand that but she's booked it thinking she can fit in it. So it's not silly for her to have booked it and not an XL unless there's size/weight limits online

I would assume at some point she as got in a taxi before

Tbf there’s overweight and there’s overweight 😳

Presuming if it was a standard seat belt she couldn't wear one, therefore if they crashed she would likely kill him as not secure (and herself I'm guessing)
Anyone remember the TV ad where the school boy kills his mum as he wasn't wearing a belt in the back?

"The rapper said she could fit in his car and has had no problem riding in vehicles of a similar size."

cant thank your comment enough. Some of the comments body shaming a woman are disgusting In this thread.

I'm 16st, dh is 6ft 6 and heavier. Dd is 6ft 1 and not small. We distribute our weight evenly. Even with our weight and long limbs, our car survives.
30st over one wheel could easily be damaging.
I'm officially obese- I know my limits- being overweight is going to cause some people issues, this is not a time for offence to be taken. I'm with the driver.

And ? They’re both a person the overweight and the “there is overweight” they both deserve to be respected. Do you know this person to know exactly why their weight is not up to your liking?

I'm reading the disgust for someone who set out to deliberately rip someone off, using their weight as an excuse to claim victimisation. That's pretty disgusting IMO too.

Yes, but the point is there's no need to be hateful and rude.

It’s the entitlement that gets me. If a taxi driver said he wouldn’t let me in his cab because I was too huge I think I’d die of embarrassment, not flipping sue him.

You think this is hateful and rude, you ought to see the comments people are putting on social media. Such as “she didn’t need a lyft, she needed a forklyft”

Where does it say in the t&c that people over a weight are not allowed to use a type of car?

Why are you being so rude?

I can imagine. 🙄

She weighs five times a healthy woman!

So what are you saying? That it should be open season on really overweight people? They don't deserve any respect or care?

More than one person on this thread has referred to the woman in question as "that". As if she's not human. It's disgusting.

It’s a fact. Why do you consider it rude?

What's the magic weight that makes someone overweight with a silly emoji and what - therefore a valid target???

In one spot? No

I couldn’t give a shite how fat she is, she can knock herself out. But she can’t expect everyone else to pander to her.

I once posted on here for advice after a neighbour who weighed 34 stone asked me to give him and his wife a lift. I was worried about the weight on the axle of my car.

I got absolutely flamed, I was accused of fat shaming etc. Almost all the responses were vile towards me. It's interesting to see that there's a different response on this thread.
