My response should have been: "Are you?"

So I went for a walk down to the grocery store to get in a bit of exercise before the heat and humidity took over. And the first thing the cashier says is: "Are you having twins?" And I was just too in shock to say anything other than...nope, just one! And she goes: "Oh one BIG one!"

 Now in my opinion, there really is not any situation where you ask someone if its twins (excluding if you are wearing some shirt to indicate its twins, or are in a baby store buying 2 of everything...) But seriously, I wanted to cry...after I throat punched her that is...

I really hate comments like that.  How rude

so sick of people asking that... especially since it's been since 6 months on

I don't get that either!!  Totally inappropriate.  I actually get the opposite comment - everyone thinks I'm small for my due date, and people always say how I'll go late bc I'm so small.  (A) That's complete BS and (B) I want to be like eff-you, I want this thing OUT!

I've been getting that since about June. "When are you due" *with shocked eyes* "ONLY ONE?!"

 yeah..thanks for calling fat j@ck@$$!!

Cashiers seriously need to scan the groceries and stop with the personal inquiries. It's absurd. I had the cashier and the bagger making "hilarious" comments to me about "Whoops!" and "Oh no, did you have an accident?" at the grocery store one time when I was buying PREGNANCY TESTS. I was appalled!

Oh, but you WILL be late if you're small...at least if I am any indication.

I actually got a good stranger comment yesterday...I was walking around downtown while DH was in the barber shop, and got to talking with another lady who was walking (I was actually walking faster than her, imagine that...) and she asked how far along I was. I said "41 weeks tomorrow" and she said, "oh, you're carrying really well and you look great". I could have kissed her. No comment about being too small, too big, that the baby needs to hurry up...just "you're carrying well"!

That is awesome!  I would have been happy too.

Did you bottle that lady so we could sell her in spray form to ward off all the evil stranger comments?

I also hate it when people say shiit like that without even knowing how far along you are.  Um, obviously you are going to look bigger the closer you get to your due date.  Some stupid biitch told me I was going to have a big baby when I was like 37 weeks because she was comparing to some other pregnant girl she just saw who was probably not even close to being as far along as I was.  People are so fukking dumb.

That is unbelievable!  Depending on the mood I was in, I would probably have "informed" their manager of those lovely comments.

People dont realize that when you are  9 mos pg, your belly is big.... my parents were away for 2 weeks and when they came home they were in shock by how pointy it started to get.
