Re: What not to say to a pregnant woman
Lady: When are you due?
Me: In April
Lady: Wow you look like you could have that baby any day now (as she eyes my stomach and makes a wide eyed face)
"Wow your face has really filled out"
Thanks.
Make a pregnancy ticker
Coworker1: So, your off Dec.7 to have the baby, right??..
Me: Ugh, no, that is when my intern is finished for the semester...
Coworker2: So, your due in January, right??..
Me: Ugh, no...April...
Since I am the HR Mgr, I can't come back and say what I would like to..and yes, I too, have gained just a handful of pounds. I think that is our problem, actually, the lack of weight gain is accentuating the baby bump.
Coworker: "Wow, are you sure you're not having twins?"
Me: ...blank stare...
Coworker: "When are you due again?"
Me: "April 18th."
Coworker: ..."Oh man, that means she'll be an Aries."
Me: "So?"
Coworker: "Aries' are so airheaded."
Me: "Um... my sister is an Aries, and she's the smartest person I know."
Coworker: "Well, they're intelligent. But they totally lack common sense."
Me: ...blank stare...
I don't even know how to respond in these ridiculous situations! People are so ignorant.
