You have got to be kidding me. I was fat when I worked and didn’t need to come in early. Car or subway, I got there on time. I fit into a subway seat fine without taking up more room or hanging over the seat.
I imagine it must be harder to fit in seats and endure stares, but in most cases, you can do something about it.
Society can’t cater to every occurrence that makes you uncomfortable. When people used to stare at me, I’d stare right back.
One time in Cambridge I got on the T and a girl about 16 said, “you’re fat.” I looked her over, said “thanks for telling me. You have a big nose,” and she was insulted. I told her that if she could point out my flaws, I can point hers out, too. Cheers and a few boos followed.
I’d see her occasionally but she’d look, smile nicely, and look away.
