Those suggesting she sit in the back have grossly underestimated the size of person we are talking about here.
It's a 3 door hatchback and the opening offered up by the front door is barely large enough to admit her. The possibility of her squeezing in to the gap betwixt front seat and door pillar is zero.
A simple solution that doesn't involve HR then.It's a 3 door hatchback and the opening offered up by the front door is barely large enough to admit her. The possibility of her squeezing in to the gap betwixt front seat and door pillar is zero.
Get a small object that will fit into the seat rail (the bit it slides forwards and backwards on). Move the seat all the way forwards, insert object and move the seat back slowly, it will get stuck at some point. You may have to have several goes but eventually it will get stuck in the perfect position where the large lady cannot physically get into the car.
Your wife doesn't even need to know you did it

Chuck a Twix and I'm sure she'll get betwixt.It's a 3 door hatchback and the opening offered up by the front door is barely large enough to admit her. The possibility of her squeezing in to the gap betwixt front seat and door pillar is zero.
f
k me what a thought.
Having some fat sweaty mare traveling in my car every day secreting her fluids into my damaged seat upholstery and on top of that a safety hazard waiting to kill me. Even if I survived the impact who knows what position she might land in, I could end up with a face full of god knows what.
This is like the nightmares I have about what it would be like to commute on public transport.
Reminds me of when I worked for Fiat, there was a fat bd with a Bravo HGT on motobility, had to replace the seat frame several times under warranty...

I think I spotted your wife and her colleague on their commute yesterday
If you look closely the rear side rear wheel does look to be under excessive strain so I think your missus does have a case with the HR dept.
Can't have been them as that passenger is clearly wearing it's seatbelt.If you look closely the rear side rear wheel does look to be under excessive strain so I think your missus does have a case with the HR dept.
It has, however, burst at some point along the journey.
Imagine the mess in a three door hatchback...
Definitely time for a chat with HR.

You are all dreadful people. What if that carshare person read this thread?
They'd probably go and have a good cry. And eat 50 pies. Awful.
She'd eat the 50 pies while waiting on the takeaway being delivered along with the diet coke.They'd probably go and have a good cry. And eat 50 pies. Awful.
Cross forum thread linkage to the dirty takeaway pictures..... http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a...
it's uncanny!AndrewIC said:
Pretty sure if Fatty Fat fk can't get the seat belt on that you could refuse to take them, legal requirement is on the driver to make sure passengers wear a seatbelt. Plod would take a pretty dim view on it if the mrs was pulled over.
No it's not. We learned/were reminded of that earlier in the thread. Table on final page refers: http://www.rospa.com/roadsafety/info/seatbelt_law....k can't get the seat belt on that you could refuse to take them, legal requirement is on the driver to make sure passengers wear a seatbelt. Plod would take a pretty dim view on it if the mrs was pulled over.Very very funny topic this, however I call BS. The car in question ia an Audi A3 right, not the biggest car out there I admit, but I'm pretty sure it's contructed to carry four average adult german men. Have you seen the average german man? 2 meters @ 120 kilos of sauercraut und bockwurst munching lederhosen und moustache wearing awesomeness 
. If they can fit in said Audi and not having it collapse under it's own weight to form a black hole I'm pretty sure that one albeit fat women can fit in it without causing structural damage to the thing unless she's weighs in the neighborhood of 500 kilos and it's a one million mile commute each way.
Edit: Having said that, if fatty can't wear a seatbelt she wouldn't get in if it was my car.. Well, she wouldn't get in at all. Period.
