Rude girl...flame away

RitaT22

I was shopping for a cute top at a nonmaternity store when a bigger sized girl looks at me and says, "This isn't a maternity store." I looked her square in the eye and said, "Well, I'm smaller than you are, and you're NOT pregnant, so why are you shopping here?"

It was the first thing that came out of my mouth and I probably shouldn't have said it but I was so mad at her at that moment. I ended up just walking away before she could say anything.

No flames here!  I love it!  Besides...what if you were buying a gift for someone?

HAHAHA. I'm sorry, but that is funny. If she was rude enough to say something like that to you, then well...I probably would have said something snarky. It is already hard on your self esteem to see your body gain weight and change, the last thing you need is some stranger to make comments. I don't plan on shopping maternity unless I have to. So far I still fit in my jeans and shirts.

If you mean me, I completely agree. I know it was mean to say.

Sorry I didn't mean you. Your reply was definitely something I would have been thinking in my head but too chicken to voice. Except now that I'm pregnant I'm starting to lose my filter too! I called a Joann's sales clerk a douche the other day because he wouldn't use my 50% off coupon. H was mortified because the boy heard me.?

ryaroberts

HA!  I would've said the same thing.  People need to mind their own business.  I would never say something like that to some random girl who was shopping for clothes, no matter what store I was in!

Glad to see I am not the only one today who told someone off!

LOL! ?Good for you. ?It's none of her business, you could have been shopping for yourself, post pregnancy &/or some regular styles are big & can still fit us. ??

anvloveskme

I think you were fine...as far as I am concerned, if you can dish it, you best be prepared for some in return!

You know?  I can't keep my mouth shut.

What you said is so incredibly offensive that it isn't even close to being on par with what she said.  What if she was pregnant?  What if she had just lost a child?  What if she has some disease that makes her overweight?

Honestly...some people.

bstrangely

that's awesome. is there a law or something? pregnant women must shop in maternity stores so they don't bother the fat people?

MrsShrek1028

as a "bigger girl" im glad it wasnt me, because i probably would have smacked you. Yes she should have minded her own business but you should have kept your mouth shut too!

 The exact same thing could be said in defense of the OP. Unless she was obviously pregnant, that girl had no idea the circumstance behind HER figure. Also like someone else pointed out, how did that woman know she wasn't there to buy a gift? Or something for herself after she had the baby? I'm sorry but if you are rude enough to make a comment like that to a complete stranger, I don't know why you wouldn't expect a response.

I didn't say the original commenter wasn't out of line.

Whether she was or not, doesn't mean the OP wasn't.

That may be true, but I can't say that I wouldn't have had least had a hard glare for the girl. When you are already feeling hormonal, crappy about your figure getting bigger, etc...the last thing you need is a comment like that.

And I agree. I know it was mean to say, but did she know her comment wasn't warranted? Best she does now.

Sorry lurking from 3rd tri. I have to agree that the OP's comments were out of line. She could have set the girl straight with out going that low.

Hormones aren't an excuse for being a biitch to a complete stranger.

It all goes back to that saying: two wrongs don't make a right.

I see no reason to defend or applaud the OP for what she did.  She acted like a 5 year old.

I'm with Kimmy.  That woman started a conversation on "who is the right size to shop here" so why should OP just graciously accept her insult?  I would have said something b!tchy too.

All you had to do was take the high road and walk away. No, she wasn't right, but neither were you. And I'm interested to know--what do you classify as a "bigger girl"?

So what is that woman's excuse for being a ***? You're right, two wrongs don't make a right. but you're telling me you have never in your life retaliated in a way similar to this? Sorry but I don't feel the need to judge someone over the internet when I don't know how I would react in a split second in the same situation. Oh, nevermind.

I'm going to agree to disagree with you because this debate is pointless.

I can honestly say I can't think of an instance where I have.

I can graciously accept an insult and move on.  Acting like a 12 year old accomplishes nothing except brings you down to their level.

Um, and I'm not judging you.  I'm judging the OP for thinking that was an appropriate comment in "retaliation."

If you read my earlier response to you, you would've seen that I know what I said was wrong, and I bet that now that woman at the store does too.

You were a b*tch to someone who was a b*tch to you.  I'm not real sure why anyone cares to get on your a*s about what you said to her.  What you said wasn't that much worse than what she said.  I laughed.  That girl shouldn't have said anything and you wouldn't have said anything in return.  She brought the rude response upon herself.

I probably would have been too shocked to come up with a good response, but 20 minutes later... I would have *wished* I said EXACTLY what you said. It blows me away that people think they can say whatever they want about our bodies because we're pregnant. Maybe she was projecting her own body issues onto you? Hmm...

Whatever. If she was any of those things, then she would not have been b!tchy enough to say what she said. She would be understanding. As a overweight person myself I never would dream to make such a stupid and snide comment about where someone was shopping. I think saying something back was justified and if she didnt want to hear a rude yet truthful comment, then she should have never opened up that can of worms to begin with! Good for you original poster for putting a snotty rude b!tch in her place!!

Applauding!

This whole post is annoying.

opheliacantswim

Honestly, good for you for saying something back to her.  I would have been too shocked by her incredible rudeness to have a comeback, and then I would have spent the rest of the day imagining what I SHOULD have said to her. You got the satisfaction of actually saying it--good for you.

Was what you said rude?  Umm, absolutely.  But she started it, and she had to be well aware what biatch she was being, so screw her.   

babyblueize314

Agreed!!!!  And i find it hilarious that people on this board ( being we are all hormonal) can actually stick up for this chick.  If someone makes a rude of off the cuff comment to me, they better be prepared for what i come back at them with. If I have to "stoop to their level to do so, than so be it"! lol

PubStar09

I say way to go OP.  I never say anything rude to people like the other chick did, but when something rude or mean is said to me, I have neither the time nor the patience to let it slide.  People need put in their place, and hopefully the other chick will think twice before she says something snidely to someone else.

The pp who was whining about how "rude" OP was... get off your high horse.
