  I know the weight thing is flameful, but with all due respect, none of you have to share space with this person daily. It's not fun, and I guarantee, whether you'd admit it or not, that you'd be annoyed to share a bathroom with her. It's waiting behind her in the hall, witnessing her leaving the stall door open, hearing all sorts of sounds, and smelling all sorts of smells. I've started going down to the basement bathroom, which - I'm sorry - is annoying. 

  If she were legitimately paralyzed, that's an entirely different situation.

  I'm not saying she's lazy or worthless, and maybe she does have some sort of medical condition, but at least part of it is choice. I don't really buy that you get to that state by health conditions alone.

  So what on earth does her weight have to do with the fact that you have to wait on her in the hall or how much her bowel movements smell? Last I knew, everyone's shiit stinks.  (even Connor told me today that poopy is always stinky). 

  It's impossible to get by her in the hall. So, if you have the misfortune of really having to pee, it's either wait for her to get down the hall and through the door to the bathroom, or take the elevator down to the basement (which is usually faster). You might be thinking that having to go at the same time as another person would be rare, but you'd be wrong. Inexplicably, it happens at least every other day. As for the smell thing, I wasn't only referring to bowel movements.

  I'll be honest--the weight argument unnerves me to the core. If you don't know the reason behind their obesity, get off their back. Medication side effects, depression, genetics, etc. all could play a role. I love that obesity is made out to be the one thing you can look down on someone else for and not feel bad about it...& Make an assumption that theyre all fat, lazy, worthless slobs. Not saying that's what any of you all are doing, but if that's the argument, give me a break.

  I knew this is the type of response I'd get with my post. I really didn't mean it in an obese bashing way. I judge a 500 pound person that expects me to lift them the exact same way I would judge a person who asked me to pick up a 500 pound rack of weights. If they can't lift one of their legs themselves, what in the world makes them think I can lift their whole body?!

  Your post didn't bother me. I understand why that particular situation would be hard to deal with.. You aren't physically capable of lifting a person that weighs 500lbs, so it would be frustrating to have to attempt it without assistance.

  Agreed on both counts.

  I totally agree.  Well stated, BoyMom.
