I have never met a fat nurse who was anything but cruel

Last time I was in the hospital all the nurses were round, chipper middle-aged Russian ladies and they were all great. Then again, I suppose think there's a very big (heh) cultural difference what "fat" even is, because I've barely ever seen the sort of lardass that needs a Walmart scooter.

Oh yeah, the Mrs. Claus type! Those are some of the best nurses. Nobody needs to look like a model—as long as you’re fit enough to be on your feet for extended periods of time and move quickly during codes, you deserve all the cookies and sodas for your hard work.

I’m talking Slaton-sized: bumping into everything, waddling at a snail’s pace, heaving for air while sitting down doing nothing. The type that are late to everything, but early to pizza parties so they can vacuum down half the spread before you can even get there. The type that clearly holds a grudge against the patients for making them do stuff.

Not to get TMI but when I had appendicitis (didn’t know it at the time), I was doubled in front of nurse the size of two Chantals in the waiting room and BEGGING for help. I was having a panic attack because of the pain, and the hyperventilation was only making that pain infinitely worse. I couldn’t sit down in a chair. This was out in the boonies in the middle of the night, so there was only one nurse at the desk. I remember her slowly making her way over just to stare down at me, not saying anything for the longest time. Eventually she told me, “You need to get up and go sit in your chair. There are other patients in here too.”

There was ONE other patient. She was begging along with me for the nurse to do something and eventually started yelling for another nurse who came running and got me set up in a room right away. I will never get over how creepy she was standing over me like that, like had no idea why I was so worked up.

There was also an EXTREMELY unpleasant old fatso (who looked uncannily similar to the aforementioned nurse) who was retired from the dentist’s office I worked at but occasionally came in to “help” when she got lonely because her kids wouldn’t visit (wonder why). Everyone else at that office was lovely and tried to be patient with her, but she did nothing but scream at us AND the patients, and stare at us like we were crazy. She also couldn’t do anything standing because of her lymphedema, so the dentist put her behind the computer at the reception desk……she did not know how to turn on a computer. She didn’t know how to close out of a tab. And when you’d literally be explaining it to her, she would pound her fists on the table like a toddler and shout, “Just tell me!” I could see how much it was stressing the dentist out, but she had worked with him for so many years before that that it was too hard to tell her no. She was horrible with the pediatric patients too. I had to drop what I was doing in the lab to assist on an extraction for an already nervous seven-year-old because I knew she would make it traumatic for him if she assisted. Just a horrible, horrible woman.

Most people at that office had quite a bit of chubbiness going on, but it was a jubilant, living-my-best-life chubby. Obesity is living your worst life and blaming everyone/everything else for it. That’s not the kind of attitude you want in health care, but it’s only going to get worse in the US thanks to labor shortages and an abundance of whale nurses.

do you want every fat person unemployed and thus on the government dole?

No, I want them working in donut shops and fast food. They can cheerfully sell the slop while silently reminding costumers not to overdue it.

A huge fat butt is probably a major advantage for someone who drives a slow vehicle all day. I'm thinking city bus drivers or the outdoor security guards who drive around in a golf carts.

Fatties would also be great for distracting large herd animals like horses or cows. They can't jump out of the way of charging bulls, but they can stand behind low barriers wearing lettuce leaves pinned to their huge shirts. Surely there's still a place in our world for livestock distracting jobs.

morbidly obese people whose rapidly deteriorating health impacts their productivity with a work-from-home desk job.

When you're too fat to sleep at night, you're going to suck at everything.

You've seen death fatties complain about the seat width of aircraft, now imagine the deathfatty flight attendant how would you handle an emergency or even fit in the aisle to serve snacks

To be fair, aircraft seats are ridiculously smaller than twenty years ago. I’m very short and a normal weight and even I think they’re too small.
I think air hostesses DO have weight limits don’t they?weight and height and all sorts of requirements like reach, etc.
