"Oh, Look at Your Pregnant Belly!"

[Food Lady]

Yeah, just had a customer say this to me. I'm not. I am, however, retaining the lake. Every month. *sigh*

[Moggie]

I suppose it's not appropriate to respond with "Oh look at your big mouth!" ?

[rerant]

For a few days out of the month I very much prefer looser fitting clothing, for obvious reasons.
I often opt for a babydoll style top and recently I was on the subway wearing this perticular style of shirt.
A rather odd young man was patting a woman's pregnant belly (a woman he did not know) then spied me, got up, sat next to me and moved his hand towards my stomach.
I was in a mood that day and flatly said, "I'm not pregnant and if you touch me I'll snap your fucking arm in half."

Problem solved.

People are so stupid.

There's a comedian that once said 'never comment on a woman's pregancy unless you see the child coming out'. Or something like that. I'm too lazy to google it, but it's soooo true.

*giggle* That made me smile so much.

Reminds me of Queen of Wands.

I have many friends that act like Shannon (she of the orange hair and baby bulge) when with pod. It's amusing for me because I'm not the target of their feral wrath.

My costume this Halloween was a devil tail and horns. Whats more appropriate for a 9-months pregnant woman than that?

When my exwife was pregnant with our daughter I was the one that wanted to rip people's arms off I hated they would just touch her without even so much as a hello,

Heh, I was at a chinese buffet with my mom one day when this random employee says 'Aww are you pregnant?' I just stared at her and said 'No, I'm just fat.' Way to make someone feel good eh?

[cactus]

Ugh, I hate that kind of people. When I get pregnant, I'm going to buy 2 t-shirts where one says "not fat, just pregnant"
and one who says "not pregnant, just fat".
...just to mess with peoples head :P

Shoot, I need to get one of those shirts that says I'm not fat, I'm rubenesuque.

Ouch. I know the feeling. I can't tell you how many times I've had that happen to me...even from family (I used to be 115lbs. but gained 60lbs after moving in with SO and sadly still am 180lbs. I'm such a slacker ) . It really irritates me when people outright assume that EVERY woman that has a little belly is pregnant (among other things).

And if you have a large chest, it automatically means you're loose (to put it nicely). Get dirty looks from female customers all the time--the ones who are with husbands/SOs.
I think the pregnant thing with me has to do with my lack of hips. I tend to be straight up & down, but w/ a belly.

I will never understand why people think it's ok to touch a complete stranger like that. The only place I've ever touched a complete stranger on purpose (aside from shaking hands) is on the arm, and only when a verbal "excuse me" didn't get their attention.

I'm kinda like that, too. I didn't realize how much until I gained some weight over the last couple years. It's annoying. But I've never had a stranger ask if I'm pregnant.
