I think his expectations are unreasonable in my opinion, although I do feel sorry for him. He is quoted as having said, "I want to be able to be like everyone else." I think that might be almost an impossibility to achieve in a general sense given his condition. The only thing that I can possibly suggest for him is to seek help and advice from disability experts and consultants who would be able to provide advice to suit his needs.

he already is under them.

My sympathy would lie with Uber drivers because some of this persons comments and expectation to be treated as a normal person are quite unreasonable. I think that Uber needs to implement standards for meeting people with disabilities needs and ensuring that they actually dispatch a suitable form of transport to meet those person's needs, not just expect their driver to sort out the problem and chastise them for complaints being lodged. My opinion would be that Uber as the employer is responsible to ensure they have all the facts from the customer and have suitable transportation equipment dispatched to meet the needs of the customer with disabilities. I abhor an employer who does not support their employees appropriately to enable them to do their job properly.

i do not call being fat a disibility.
one becomes fat by putting rubbish in the north and south.

When my daughter turned 45yrs old she thought she best get life insurance so she rang a leading provider. The guy said sure no worries what do you weight (she was quite a big girl back then) when he heard how much she weighed he said he was sorry but she was too fat to get life insurance . In today's society there are so many big people as they stay home alot. Since Covid.

Not being difficult but I honestly havnt seen that percentage, may I ask where the info came from?

She made it up. People are so rude and judgmental these days, and make up figures to justify their bias and prejudice. I am shocked by the rudeness and lack of compassion in some of the comments here!

 

[siameezer]

You are also judging people , you. Can’t sugar coat others problems .

Sadly yours is the typical comeback when someone is called out for their lack of compassion. Act like a rude and horrid person who is lacking in basic humanity, and you must expect to be called out on it.

I hear how this man must feel as he is left like a piece of rubbish on the kerb. I also hear the drivers and the problems that have been noted. I would like to think he could get a little van for people with special needs either weight or equipment and a caring driver who would be there for him.

He actually can request one through uber

The primary cause of morbid obesity is an imbalance between calorie intake and energy expenditure, leading to excessive fat storage. This imbalance is often a result of consuming more calories than the body can burn through physical activity and daily functions. While genetics and certain medical conditions can play a role, lifestyle factors like diet and exercise habits are the main drivers of morbid obesity around 84.5%

Here's a more detailed breakdown:

• Energy Imbalance:
  The fundamental cause is consuming more calories than the body uses, leading to fat storage.
  
  
• Diet:
  High consumption of energy-dense foods, especially those high in fat and sugars, contributes to weight gain.
  
  
• Lack of Physical Activity:
  Sedentary lifestyles and reduced physical activity mean fewer calories are burned, further contributing to fat storage.
  
  
• Genetics:
  While not the primary cause, genetics can influence a person's predisposition to weight gain and how their body stores fat.
  
  
• Medical Conditions:
  Certain conditions like hypothyroidism, Cushing's syndrome, and polycystic ovary syndrome can also contribute to weight gain around 10% of morbidly obese people

I'm thinking you may be morbidly overweight and is the reason behind you being rude and not opening your eyes up to the truth

You just have to google search and you will see it is actually a very small amount of people that are morbidly obese because of a medical condition.

Thanks just confirming the info I knew but not the actual percentage noted. Makes sense though. I eat like a horse and weigh 45k although short and 85 years old , all that good sense flies out of the window in my case, wonder if his in some way as well ?

You know nothing about me , so keep you judgment to your self, I have helped many people including families who have been in DV situations. The last one cost me over$900 after the damage to my home by her daughter. Judge not lest you be judged .

Trust me at 85 I am a lazy lump. Yes a bit bony but as I said even doc can’t find an explanation with my weight never changing regardless

 

[siameezer]

I'm sorry but I think you are the rude one.

Well poppet my self-worth is not based on some stranger's vile insults ... you can call me rude if you want. I know it isn't true, and that is ALL that matters. Feel better now?

 

[siameezer]

Oh sadly I am listening to the foul garbage and insults people are spewing. Mostly from a place of ignorance too.

My uncle was obese and it was his fault. He would sit down and eat awhole bucket of KFC plus drink a 2 litre coke.
He ended up with diabetes abd in the end needed a leg amputated.
He also ended up with heart problems and needing surgery.

His surgeon said he needed to change his life style and the way he ate.

The Dietician at St George hospital also confirmed this.

Both told me most people who are morbidly obese is through eating.

My great grandmother was a very large lady and was told hers was medical but to be honest I don't think it was. My aunty said she was a big eater.

I told my uncles surgeons about her and that's when they replied that my uncles wasn't medical but what he consumed.

So over weight people are not just harming themselves they are costing tax payers awhole lot of money in paying their medical cost
