A wealthy man got upset about sitting next to a large woman in first class and started complaining to the flight attendant.
The moment James Courtney saw the woman sitting next to him on the flight, he knew it was going to be tough. She was really big, and he wondered how he would be comfortable with her next to him.
The woman sat down, accidentally bumping James with her elbow as she fastened her seat belt. “Watch it!” James snapped at her.
She quickly apologized, “Oh, I’m so sorry. Please pardon me.”
James sarcastically replied, “Pardon me? Or pardon the three thousand doughnuts you ate to get that size?”
The woman looked shocked and hurt. James noticed she was quite young, with a gentle face. He cruelly added, “Lady, you should book TWO seats when you fly!”
The woman’s eyes filled with tears, but James didn’t stop. He also noticed her clothes looked cheap and worn out.
“I guess all your money goes on nachos and hot dogs, right?” he said. “Can’t afford two seats? I’m sure if you ask, everyone on the plane will chip in for you!”
The woman turned to look out the window, tears streaming down her cheeks. James continued, “Listen, I know a clinic in Mexico that could give you a liposuction for cheap!”
By the time James had settled into his seat, the woman was sobbing quietly. When the flight attendant came by with drinks, he ordered a Martini.
In his best James Bond voice, he said, “Shaken, not stirred,” and added, “I don’t know what Moby Dick here will drink.”
The flight attendant gave him a sharp look and asked the woman, “Madam, what would you like to drink?”
With a nod, the woman wiped her eyes and said, “Please, a diet Coke.”
James sneered, “Don’t you think a diet Coke is a little late?”
Both the flight attendant and the woman ignored him. As James drank his Martini, he shuddered at the thought of the woman needing to squeeze by him to use the restroom.
Later, the flight attendant brought their meals. She placed a tray in front of James and another in front of the woman.
James rudely asked, “Are you sure that’s enough? I thought it would take a village to feed this lady!”
Ignoring him, the flight attendant continued serving others. “Wasn’t she rude?” James said to another passenger. “I think I’ll complain about her.”
The other passenger ignored him too, and James enjoyed his meal. When the flight attendant returned, she was smiling.
“Excuse me,” she began. “The captain would love to have you come up to the cockpit. He’s a big fan.”
James was startled to realize she was talking to the large woman next to him. She blushed, nodded, and smiled. This meant James had to get up and let her pass.
After helping her out, James sat back down, mentally preparing complaints about the first-class service. Then the captain’s voice came over the speakers.
“Ladies and gentlemen,” he said. “We have a celebrity with us! If you love opera, you’ll recognize her voice.”
The cabin filled with applause as a beautiful voice sang a few bars of a famous aria. “That’s right,” the captain continued. “We’re flying with the lovely Miss Allison Jones, performing a charity concert for world hunger.”
James cringed as the plane erupted in applause. The flight attendant approached him again. “Listen up, buster,” she said coldly. “If you upset that girl again, I’m putting you in economy, no matter how rich you are.”
James started to argue but saw the determination in her eyes. “I apologize,” he muttered.
“You don’t have to apologize to me!” she snapped.
After a while, Allison Jones returned, smiling and signing autographs for other passengers. James quickly stood to let her sit.
He smiled awkwardly and said, “Listen, I’m sorry if I offended you. I didn’t know who you were.”
Allison turned to him with her stunning eyes and said, “It doesn’t matter who I am. Never treat someone that way! And you’re not really sorry. If I wasn’t famous, would you be apologizing? I can’t change my weight, but you can change your attitude. Stop judging others.”
James fell silent, sinking back into his seat. He didn’t say another word until they landed in Portland.

To.be honest.avoid the embarrassment and know you have to make special arrangements due to your weight others are boarding flights as well
My Mom was a large woman and was stared at and made fun of her whole life. She brushed it off but I know how much it hurt her. So, kudos for Allison for telling James off!!! He deserved every word she said and more.
