If you don't work in the health industry, you probably *don't* encounter super-mobidly-obese people on the regs. Let's face it - the various threads and 600lb+ fat TV serieses's show that they do a whole lot of fucking nothing for the most part. You generally get disabled at some point and that's about it for anything that isn't food or dying.
So have you, non-healthcare person, encountered someone in the deathfat category?
I have, twice.
Once at the local grocery store. I came out, rounded the corner, and came face to sweaty, pale face with someone who was larger than anyone I'd seen before. Absolute unit, sprawled across a metal bench, looking never-seen-the-sun sickly, wearing all black tarps, and fortuitously shaded as it was hot as balls that day. I tried not to gawp but goddamn 600 easy.
Later that same summer I stopped by the local hardware store and parked in the only open spot. As I pulled into the spot I couldn't help but see a gargantuan leg hanging out an open rear passenger door of the car in the next spot. I got an eyeful of a woman, probably, who was staring into what seemed like a teensy cell phone. She looked at me and I couldn't help but notice the 'fat' facial features, like the fat forehead. I scurried into the store, bought my doodad, and came back out to find the same scene seen. The door blocked most of her from that angle but the foot was misshapen and darkly colored. Crazy shit.
So how about you?
