Guess I still have "that look" (useless vent)

I will say that I was already having a pretty cruddy week, having my own little pity party. I work in a large specialty foods store, and in our back storage hallway that everyone passes through, one of the older foreign women from the restaurant walked up to me, patted my stomach and asked if it was a boy. I in no way feel bad for looking at her as if she were the devil herself, swatting her hand and exclaiming that I'm not pregnant and walking off. WTH? I know I could use more than a few crunches, but I definitely do not look pregnant. She might not know about our loss, and I don't care about that, but why would anyone say anything without it being completely obvious. And I was just starting to feel good about the 3 lbs I've lost...

Ugh. Screw her! She broke three cardinal rules in that one statement... 1. NEVER ask a woman if she's pregnant unless you are CERTAIN that she is! 2. Even if you were pregnant she shouldn't be touching your belly without asking... that's just rude! and 3. Don't make gender predictions unless they are asked for... not everyone wants to know, or cares about, your opinion! Good for you for putting her in her place (even though she probably won't get it). And good for you for dropping 3 pounds!

All of this! I'm so sorry, that sucks.
