WTF!

Okay, you can take your mind out of the gutter as this is about to become my new catchphrase, not unlike DTF and GTL from Jersey Shore – which I must say is not a bad season so far. It is kind of up and down but at least we don’t have to deal with Ron and Sammi fighting all the time and it is set in Italy so there’s pretty scenery.

My WTF means What The Fat!!!!!!!!

But, I digress. I promised you an additional blog about the man who is suing White Castle because he is too large to fit into a booth and here it is. I thought for fun, I would just go through the article line by line which appeared in the New York Post and put commentary.
White Castle hates fatty’s gut – (The NY Post is notorious for great headlines) Portly patron sues for bigger booths A bigger seat — it’s what he craves. A devoted, 290-pound White Castle fan is steaming mad at the fast-food chain, which he says repeatedly broke promises to make the booths in his local eatery bigger. (ok, White Castle opened in 1921 and for 80 years never had to enlarge their booths – is that a clue there is something not right about this picture) All stockbroker Martin Kessman wants is a place at the table. (It seems to me that he has had a place at the table all too often – so stay home or get take away if you can’t fit)

But when the 64-year-old walked into the White Castle in Nanuet back in April 2009 for his usual No. 2 combo meal, he got an unpleasant surprise. (How come I don’t have a usual combo meal number 2 and to get right to the point, I don’t even know those exist and clearly he shouldn’t either)
“They’re stationary booths,” he told The Post. “I’m not humongous, [but] I’m a big guy. I could not wedge myself in.” (he’s not HUMONGOUS – WTF! This is what is wrong with this country in a sentence – of course he’s humongous – he’s almost 300 pounds and is not a professional football player –What is wrong with his sense of identity?????)

Mortified (not fitting into a booth should have mortified him but instead of taking it on himself and perhaps thinking he is doing something wrong not to mention unhealthy, he blames the establishment – a typical American response – when did we stop taking responsibility for what we do) and in pain from smacking his knee into one of the table’s metal supports, Kessman limped out of the restaurant, (If I weighed that much, limping is probably a way of life for him) and later penned a complaint to corporate headquarters.

Angel Chevrestt ”BIGGIE SIGHS: Litigant Martin Kessman has a serious beef with White Castle.
“As I looked around the restaurant, I saw that there were no tables and chairs that could accommodate a person that merely wanted to sit down and eat his meal,” Kessman wrote. (YES there is – for people who are not grossly OBESE; I could fit into a chair quite comfortably, physically but not mentally, I am sure) Kessman claims he has no problem finding a place to take a load off at other fast-food places, and fits easily into airline seats. (There is no way he fits into an airline seat without at least a seat belt extension and for sure he is one of those people that you fear sitting next to you when they are going down the aisle sideways because they can’t fit any other way)

White Castle replied with three “very condescending letters” — and an offer that added insult to injury. “In each letter was a coupon for three free hamburgers — but the cheese was extra!”(So what insulted him more? The fact that there was only three burgers (granted, they are super small) or the fact that the cheese was extra – dude, take what you can get) according to a lawsuit Kessman filed last week in Manhattan federal court. (Really, a law suit – this country is going to hell in a handbasket – an oversized one at that)

But somehow, the humiliation didn’t dampen Kessman’s appetite for sliders at a discount. (of course it didn’t – the appeal of that grease, salt, white bread is too much of a temptation to even think about giving up) “My wife went and picked up the burgers … because I did not want to set foot into the store,” he said. “Any subsequent trips to the store have been made by my wife — I have been like an outcast.” (You are an outcast because you are morbidly obese and need to take care of yourself. If you need a clue buddy, not fitting into a seat at a fast food restaurant where the majority of customers will more than likely be obese – is a striking one Sherlock)

White Castle also pledged to expand its seats, Kessman claimed. “They sent me specs and everything, about how the booths were going to be enlarged and made comfortable for people with a little more weight,” (Clue number 2 – you don’t have just a little more weight, you have lots more weight than what should be considered normal and certainly what is considered healthy. Colonel Mustard did it with the pipe in the library – how much clearer can I be?)
Kessman said. “So two and a half years went by, and nothing was done.” The Rockland County man says the chain’s uncomfortable booths violate the civil rights of fat people. (What about the civil rights of skinny people? He violates my eyes, my sense of beauty – heck he violates my entire career)
The Americans with Disabilities Act is “applicable, not only to me, but to pregnant women and to handicapped people,” he said. (OK, CLUE number 3 – You are not disabled because you can’t keep your mouth shut and not filled with food all day long – when did gluttony become a disability – have we lost our collective minds?)

“I just want to sit down like a normal person,” said Kessman, who is suing for bigger chairs and unspecified damages. (Then act like a normal person and lose weight – take some responsibility for your own actions) Kessman could have approached a store manager and asked for a regular chair, said White Castle spokeswoman Jamie Richardson, who had no timetable for the expected renovation of the Nanuet store. (I hope the renovation never happens)
I am sorry for being so out there with my opinions, but sometimes things just rattle me and I keep help myself because America is going down the wrong road in terms of health and nutrition and if we stand up for this type of behavior, we are doomed.
