Fat car share damaged wife's car?

[TooMany2cvs]

Let's assume this person really is 150kg or so. So the same weight as two 75kg people sat one behind the other. In a 1500kg+ car...

Sounds to me like somebody's looking for an excuse not to be seen with somebody not as Audi-worthy as they are.

[RDJ]

Some good points and sadly I think I am going to have to say something.

I have to be careful how I broach the subject as she (my wife) has become quite pally with her and apparently she (the car share) is already suffering with depression.

I know this as I enquired why there were significant strands of hair and dandruff in the car and it is apparently alopecia brought on by the depression.

It just gets better!

So you've posted on an online forum that this morbidly obese sow-thing is shedding skin, hair and god knows what else (they sweat a lot do chubbers) and is slowly flattening your wife's car to bits... Just get your wife to send the thread URL to HR, they'll sort it out amicably...

[MajorProblem]

Could you borrow / hire a smart car for few days?

Jesus titty fking christ - enforced car share?????


What is this a communist state??!

...my wife says she has had to increase her braking distances considerably.

I just can't see that being true. The percentage difference to the overall weight of the car vs carrying a normal size passenger cannot be that great.

This thread is so full of win.

If she can't do up her seat belt then she is risking death and risking your wife's life as well.


She should speak to HR and say that under the circumstances she feels she can't offer a lift to the enormous unit with no seat belt.

How did tubs get to work before? And why should she be passengered everywhere? When is it your wifes turn to be passenger?

Seems unfair to me

It's not the kinetic energy causing her to have to brake earlier

She's doing it because she's aware that her passenger is not buckled in.

Is anyone else thinking a shotgun might offer the simplest solution here?

Not exactly evenly distributed though is it? A really big woman could be as much as 200kg...remember she can't even get the seatbelt around her.

I thought fat people were jolly?

[S10GTA]

Sounds like the sharer needs to make their own way to work, under their own power!

[Paddymcc]

Your wife needs to buy Carpool Kenny, heck buy 3 or 4 of them and say the cars full:

31.5stone?!

OP, how big is this woman?!

Because of her shape it is quite difficult to gauge her weight. She is quite thick-set and her legs are very sturdy.

ETA This sort of build:

Oh I don't know

My old Mk1 Chavalier used to brake worse when we were 5 up coming home from a nightclub and we were skinny students with waif like ladies.

Less than 30 stone

One or 2 of these should sort out Hippobloatermass with the seat belt problem.

This thread is completely wonderful.
