Loved reading this! I hope to make a similar list one day. A few that stood out to me were the unflattering coats, restaurant tables and camping chairs!! It's a relief to know that it's not just me thinking this stuff.
My college brought in these desks that they thought were so great. The seat was attached to the desk and they didn't scoot out nearly far enough for fat people to get in or out of with any sort of dignity. It ruined the entire class for me.0 -

Simply said...INCREDIBLE! I have experienced and thought many of the things on your list. There are many things I have never experienced and I'm so glad that you don't have to experience them any more! Another word that comes to mind is FREEDOM!
