The neighbor came knocking on the door a few days ago. He needed me to take digital photos of a booth he was building for a local pizza place.
I took the photos then he asked "Would you sit there and eat pizza?"
"No".... Then I tried to fit into the booth - it was a tight squeeze. "I'm not the largest person around."
Somehow, in his calculations, he had forgotten that not everyone is the same size he is. Fortunately, he had constructed the booth in such a way it was easily dismantled and adjusted.
I just spent most of a week traveling with my sisters, we stayed at 3 different motels, 3 different chains. Only the last one, Super 8, had chairs that comfortably fit me.
Even doctor's offices have a lack of seating that will comfortable fit a plus-size person. I'm well aware the decorators that purchase the furniture are not connected to the doctors, but they need to be more aware of this issue.
Okay, I realize that earlier in this blog I went off on Dairy Queen.... Now I'm picking on motels and doctors offices. But the problem is everywhere.
Maybe we need a "Be Kind To The Fluffy" week to raise awareness?
