A 290-pound New York state man is suing his local White Castle restaurant. No, he’s not suing them for causing his weight gain. He’s suing them for not having big enough seats.

Martin Kessman, 64, said he first realized he couldn’t fit into the booths at the Nanuet White Castle in April 2009 and complained to the restaurant in writing. He claims he received three “very condescending letters” in return — along with coupons for free burgers.

Kessman said restaurant officials promised to put in larger seats, but they have failed to do so almost two years later.

“I just want to sit down like a normal person”Kessman said.

His lawsuit is seeking larger chairs at the restaurant and unspecified damages.
