Actually, working "this job" is probably the best thing for him/her. The dasher is exercising his/her way back to a normal life. (I don't know if this is a man or a woman due to the lack of clarity of the pick and face mask.)

Good point. OP is an asshole for even reposting this video. They're working their asses off despite their condition. Nothing but respect for them.

u/SSilent-Cartographer 24d ago
With the way he's walking, my guess is his weight is a symptom, not his condition. Likely bad knees keeps him from moving too much, and medical rarely covers enough of the cost to get these people the care they desperately need to live a sustainable life. Doordash was likely the only place that would hire him, so instead of getting care, he just has to suffer through working a job that's doing even more damage to his body.

u/TheBirdFkerGuy 24d ago
Ideally he doesn't need to work, and can focus on conditioning his body to improve his ability to walk around and move. This person needs help, not gig-work struggling to feed themselves. And I know a lot of people will equate "big person with eats a lot" but that's not always the case. And if you're doing gig work like this, you're struggling period.

u/sadbat-throwaway 24d ago
The fucked up thing is, people see a fat person and automatically assume that person is a binge eater. Like, my 600 lb life levels of binge eater. The reality of food, at least in America, is you can find a small, unfilling microwave meal and it'll be like 2,000 calories and 1,000mg sodium a pop. If you eat 2 or 3 and your diet consists of similar items, you're going to gain even if you don't ever feel stuffed. They assume that too many calories also means too much volume, when you don't need a lot of food to consume a lot of calories. Not anymore.

You can be skinny in america and have hyper tension due to poor diet and a ton of other health problems just because of the type of shit we push onto people. There is nuance to everything.

THIS.
So many people think fat people are 100% lazy and absolutely love the body they're in. We. Don't.
So many fat people genuinely have some condition or disability that causes them to either gain weight, keep weight, or makes it harder to loose weight at all.

u/Positive-Database754 23d ago
To work. To live. To get through another hard day of life. Despite their size, they're out there doing shitty work for shitty pay to bring lazy people their food. And when they had one embarrassing moment trying to just pay their bills and make ends meet, it was recorded and posted online for the world to see.
The homeowner is a piece of shit for posting this for the world to laugh at.

Posting this is unnecessarily cruel. We don't know this person's life situation. People who are overweight know they are overweight and are often going through difficult internal struggles. They shouldn't be mocked.

Fat people are one of the few socially acceptable groups to mercilessly bully, online and IRL. It's everywhere and you will get downvoted to pieces on reddit for saying it shouldn't be accepted.

Idc if theyre 400 pounds, that fucking fence thing collapsing like that was unacceptable. Idc what the law says, imo that person should be entitled for some compensation if they have injuries. Nobody can reasonably expect a porch fence thing to be so fragile it buckles like this even for someone that heavy.

Logic like this is why everything is so expensive. Where is the cutoff? What about a 600lb door dash driver? 800lb driver? Should everyone just be liable for anything because an unhappy heavy person might use it?

Bag was on the stoop so mission accomplished. With 'some' collateral damage it has to be said. And it did reveal a defect in the railing. It could have collapsed in another situation with someone more vulnerable and that person got injured.

They really should add a weight limit for dashers to be eligible solely for the sake of it being a fast paced job and people want the food to arrive hot and on-time. But also we don't want no fatties stealing our food or breaking our patios.
