This is beyond tiresome, it's getting CREEPY

[Dragon_Dreamer]

It happened AGAIN today.

I bent down to pick up a printer in the box to show a customer. He said, "Oh, don't pick that up! You're pregnant!"

... Nope, STILL not, and the boyfriend's STILL living out of state. :P

When I told him, he said, "Well, let's make sure it stays that way, hrm?"

This is what, the eighth or nineth time in a YEAR? it's getting to the CREEPY point -.-

I'm SKINNY. Big boobed, but SKINNY. -.-

Ew.

What concern is it of his, anyway? Who does he think he is, your father?

You did NOT owe this asswipe an explanation.

And for that matter, it's just plain sexist. I often attempt to surprise the male customers by lifting the heavy boxes of milk over. SOP at work for the checkout staff, regardless of age, is not to lift anything over about 12kg. We sell 18, 24 and 30 packs of cans of soft drink. 18's we can lift on occasion, 24 depends on the person, but 30's we never lift. They get a little surprised when I lift them, but when I do give my explanation, they seem to shut up. It's not that I can't-because I can-but we're not allowed to.

I would have to tell that guy I didn't appreciate his innappropriate commentary.

No, you didn't owe him an explanation. It's not his business.

And his taking that as an invitation to make a second out of line comment was beyond the pale.

Big boobed

It's considered bad form to make unsubstantiated claims.

What kind of thingis THAT to say? I mean. really!

See me being evil would've just said "I'm not pregnant" no explanation if he had made the above comment-I would have either:

A)burst into fake tears saying "but we've been trying for years, and spent all this money on treatments!"

or B)gotten all overly bubbly and said "well of course, my partner and I have decided she'll make a better mommy than me!"

either one will teach them to MYOB

I *love* this. Before I lost a bunch a weight, the (horrible) women round work would often make snarky comments about how I looked pregnant, and I never could think up a good come-back in time.
Honestly, the things people seem to think it's alrighto to say *shakes head*

I was thinking along the lines of A, myself

But I like B, too...

... Trust me, I can provide pics. They're well above average. I'd ask the mods before posting the exact cup size, on second thought.

http://sandwich.net/cygnata/photos <- those *under* estimate my size, on purpose. By quite a bit. I don't put myself in a position to be photographed in such a way that the size is obvious. No profile shots, for one.

[KorporateKitty]

Uncalled for...yea it is creepy!

As far as being able to lift heavy objects, I fail miserably. Nothing to do w/gender or size though, I'm just plain ol' weak! I have pretty good stamina though, even with little food or sleep.

How about something along the lines of "I beg your fucking pardon?"

That's a good old chestnut that I bet would work.

I don't know what's wrong with people, either.

[Dragon_Dreamer]

I'll just be happy if this STOPS. I'm NOT fat, I've been losing fat and gaining muscle. It's at the point where coworkers and even my parents are making snarky comments about how "they must be trying to tell me something."

[RootedPhoenix]

What. the. flip. is WRONG with them? Even if they know you, they have no right to insult you like that!

For them: A whole shipload ought to do. Grr.

*offers you hugs, comfort, and chocolate*

[Jester]

Alternatively, you could find humor in this.

Not that these taffy-brained yoyo's think you are pregnant, per se, but the ridiculousness of it all.

So the next time one of these monkey masturbators lets out with his thoughts on your impending motherhood, just look at him......and laugh. Like it's the most ridiculous thing in the world.

Because, apparently, it really is.
