    Is there any further context to the conversation rather than the jump right into the middle bit?

    I think she only took the video at that point of the conversation. Of course the story is from her perspective but still an interesting irony.

    The only touchy one is you by getting upset lulz. You can certainly call people names while on the job, just be ready to face those consequences.

    From the looks of it he was just having a conversation with a passenger. She brought up weight in the first place.

    She's physically disgusting, but I wouldn't tell her that as it's just my opinion. Though factually she's morbidly obese.

    He was in the wrong though, unless her size caused issues in the car.


    “I don’t do diets,” she said. “Diets don’t work.”

    31 years old, 280lbs, child born in 2016, doubt she'll live to see the younger child in college.

    yup. i have made rank faster than anyone in my skill EVER and have advanced to one of the most season vets at my job in less than time than it takes 99% of the people around me, but i am worried about what an ultra-sensitive uber hater has to say on forums lol....

Its not a healthy way to live and after reading up on some of this woman's other bullshit she has pulled, i more and more believe this was just a stunt to get into the lime light to 1) somehow profit off this, 2) show that "its okay to be fat" 3) shame the driver herself by posting that video of them just having a conversation. It appeared she wasn't even upset or mad, they were just having a conversation about weight.

    This is healthy:



    This is UN-healthy:



    How one could even think that there wouldn't be any health problems with the second example is beyond me.
    I'm not at all concerned with the fat beached whale and her stupid feelings. I'm concerned with how this Uber driver handled a situation where it could have been better. He obviously fell for the bait and is now paying for it.

    Everything about society can be interpreted as bullying. You trying to guilt people into not shaming fat people is "bullying."

    Its called Negative Reinforcement(or Punishment i forget). Its used...QUITE often. And sometimes very effective.

    what situation? there is no evidence of ANYTHING happening aside from a calm question/answer about cholesterol. have you ever worked in customer service before? plenty of customers like to lie and make stuff up.

    ironic that you ask him that. he asked me the same thing when i said pretty much what you are saying here. i think HE is the one with no knowledge of customer service haha

    How is there not a different term for someone her size? I get it that people want "realistic" models, but c'mon... She doesn't need to be ridiculed but she sure as shit shouldn't be held up as some hero for the obese. Someone her size is just as bad of a role model for kids as an anorexic...

    Do you have any evidence that she was lying? And yes I do actually work in customer service.

    Yeah I must be terrible because I don't insult customers. It sounds like you have downs.

    i don't need evidence of her lying, all we have is her evidence of someone asking about her cholesterol, not how their conversation got to that. people calling him a hypocrite because he is fat too, even though he never said anything disparaging about being fat or her being fat, for all you know, he is just as concerned about his own health.

    wouldn't that be hilarious? He was about to ask for advice on how to keep his own cholesterol down, but she freaked out.

    Is there more somewhere else or do we just take her at her word?
    She's upset that he's giving health suggestions and questions that he might have himself and people instead are like "AMG he's fat he shouldn't talk" rather than judging by the video the fact that he might actually being doing something about it.

    No he didn't nail it because he left out the fact that she's fat and thinks it's something to be praised and avoids getting thin and yells at people for speaking the truth even politely like this man was. He is not a hypocrite. Saying "aren't you concerned about cholesterol" doesn't make him a hypocrite since he might be concerned about his own.

    The last 2 alone could say he nailed it, but the hypocrite claim is as far as we know false.

    What a hypocrite.
