Hi! I’m trying to figure out if my anti fat biases etc are colouring my view. Background: I’ve lived in an olderish apartment (1970s) for about a decade, got a new upstairs neighbour a couple of years ago and now my bathroom ceiling leaks, grows mold etc. The maintenance folks have cut through the drywall a few times, confirmed mold, replaced the pipes, checked and watched for leaks without luck.

My guess as to what’s happening is that the bathtub is an older one and the new neighbour is really big (for a Canadian. Like, not infinifat or whatever but would definitely take up more than a seat in the movies or airplanes) and not just belly fat but quite wide as well. I can’t imagine he can turn in the shower without the sheets coming out of the tub and spilling water all over the ground (and with our poor molding etc I could easily see it working its way down)

Unsure how to bring it up so I figured I’d check and see if that’s even a thing that actually happens or if that’s just my inherent anti fat assumptions going to work. I don’t know anyone socially even close to his size so don’t really know where else to ask.
