Hormones and shopping

katelynngould94

36 weeks shopping might not be a good idea anymore. I'm pretty sure my hormones are in full control. I wanted to cuss out some lady today because she ran into my cart twice and I got so mad at some lady who was on my tail all around the store and literally went down every isle I did and rushed me to move every time. Then some guy cut In front of me when I was in line to check out and I had it and said something . I think it's time I don't shop with out my fiancé anymore haha anyone else having hormonal issues shopping ?

Yes! I was at bed bath & beyond last night (and we all know how horrible the aisles there are)... I felt like everyone was playing chicken with me and would give a seriously dirty look to anyone who didn't let me pass. I also made sure to turn so they could see my huge belly and act like I was having a really hard time turning around to make them feel guilty.

Haha, this is so true.... People irritate me and I refuse to go to places during peak hours trying to avoid crowds! (Costco is the worse) I swear no one knows how to drive either.... I think I need to lock myself in my house until LO comes because I hate everyone except DH lol ~X(

I think I should just be banned from going out in public period

My SO just told me the next incident i have with someone im
Getting banned from the public on my own... I got into it with my bank and then decided to go to old navy to exchange some clothes i recieved as a gift, reciept and all and they were so rude and unhelpful i almost walked out. I have a feeling i am partially to blame but omg cant people realize not to mess with the pregnant lady?!

I was crying at the till when my debit card wouldn't work and I felt like everyone was judging me. I wanted to call my bank to figure it out but it took forever for her to suspend the transaction and get someone to walk me to customer service. It was a simple fix and I was able to get my groceries but the hormones just made me a crying mess!

I keep debating on if what I'm buying is needed. If I get it I feel guilty, if I don't I get worried that it'll turn out it was needed. Whether I'll be short a pair of pants if we turn on the a/c not that big of a deal but my hormones are making these life or death decisions over here!

I yelled at the GNC guy on the phone because he told me there was " no way to search to see if the store had evening primrose oil" ...... Umm what? You don't have inventory or a computer. It's 2015. Also you can't go look on the shelves?!
I was probably a total psycho but didn't want to drive into the next town if they didn't have it.
I shouldn't be allowed in public

Oh I definitely can't go anywhere crowded anymore. I went to our local outlets to finish up hospital bag supply shopping and wanted to go off on every person who didn't get out of my lumbering way and every parent not controlling their kids. I still dislike pretty much all children that are not mine ... Hoping I get over that!

AbbigailS

Yes to the children thing! They bug me more than ever now. Not because I think mine will be any better, I just have no patience.

I'm so glad I'm not alone!!
Mom is on me to get my hospital bag together, but every time I go to the store to pick up granny panties or pads or whatever else I need, someone is being too stupid or rude for me to finish shopping!
Last trip I had a kid sit in the stall with me after crawling under the door, and make awkward eye contact while mom or grandma took a monumental bm and ignored my pleas to get their child out of my bathroom.
I mean pregnant or not, any human would be offended by a random child watching them pee, right!?
DH thinks I need supervision. I do not need supervision, but that child sure did!

I went grocery shopping today and was leaving with a very full cart. As I was leaving a woman was blocking an entrance having her child get into one of the carts with a big car attatched to the front. I patiently wait and then the kid gets out and the woman directs him to another cart. She the left the big cart blocking me from getting through. I asked her if she was going to move the cart. She told me she wanted a different one because it was dirty but did not make an attempt to move the cart. I got angry and yelled, hello 9 months pregnant lady here - move your cart. She then started talking another language and went into the store without moving it. How freaking rude!!

laurendutch

Yep shouldn't be allowed out in public.

Target cashier: oh you have twins

Me: yep

Target Cashier: Twins again

Me: oh no, just one this time

Target cashier: oh but you are so big!

Bitch!

And I'm right on with my size, so no I'm terribly huge!

laurendutch

Just to clarify I didn't actually call her a bitch, but she probably deserved it!

I just bought the granny panties today....... Shits getting real. Lady tried to overcharge me..... I was shockingly nice and told her to go check the sale sign.... It all worked out.

I actually just finished raiding my undies drawer for all of my old, ratty, granniest panties that I had shoved to the back of the drawer. I put them, my new pj pants, and my new light robe in my suitcase. Most of my toiletries bag is packed too, I just need to fill my little travel dispensers with my shampoo and conditioner and then I can throw that in my suitcase too. Need to add socks and a few tank tops and a T-shirt and I think my bag is done

Shit IS getting real

In my past life (pre-pregnancy), if I was in line at the grocery store and the person behind me had only a few items, I'd let them go in front of me.

It's probably my imagination, but I feel like people behind me are coughing and glaring and hinting that they want to go first.

So, (internally), I'm like, "oh, hell no. I'm huge and uncomfortable and I wanna get outta here faster than you."

I currently want to throttle all old people because THEY ALWAYS TAKE THE EXPECTANT MOM PARKING SPOTS! Apparently if you are able bodied enough to not be entitled to a handicap sticker you can still park in a spot my pregnant swollen crotch Pee on my self body on fire really would appreciate because you have white hair! Oh don't get me started on the gray haired parkers! Oh man if I ever see a salt and pepper in one of those spots....ok now I'm posting in the wrong thread....shopping...forget the bottom shelf man I can't even get that low.

This happened to me yesterday.  Dude had one loaf of bread, and I had a full basket (not cart). He jumped in front of two elderly couples, with just a quick nod.  I was feeling like crap, so I made strong eye contact and then continued loading my groceries onto the conveyer belt.  If anyone was getting in front of me, it was the elderly folks.  And they seemed ok and had huge carts full of groceries, so I went about my business.

Mine is when the store opens up another lane and asks the people waiting in line behind me to go to that new open lane. It's like hello??? Extremely pregnant woman who looks like she is having twins AGAIN trying to wrangle two boys.

So hubby got paint all over lo's white sun hat..... which means I have to go to the store and buy a new one and am super dreading it, just walking around looking at baby stuff isn't even fun! ugh, I know it was an accident but man gonna be a pain...

Ok so I bought a pair of shorts at Destination Maternity last weekend without trying on. Too small so I went to exchange today. At which point I noticed the price tag said $119. Which I read at the time as $11.99 because A. The store's price point is not that high and B. They were on the SALE rack. I asked them to check assuming they were mismarked. Nope, I paid that much last week and in my pregnancy brain didn't even notice. So yeah, they got returned instead of exchanged! I made a comment about that bring crazy expensive for shorts and the ladies there had zero reaction. Not that it's there fault but they could have at least been like "yeah, that is pretty high!". (They did point out the brand was Joes Jeans, which means nothing to me).

Really glad I thought to exchange them, bc I was feeling too lazy to bother!

All of the expectant mom parking has been taken away around here say for the hospital in the last couple months. It sucks. I even went to the hospital a few weeks ago for an appointment and really needed it but this giant hillbilly of a man parked in the last spot. I've pulled muscles in my upper legs and can barely walk 20 ft without crying.
