Worse/Funniest thing someone has said or done to you while being prego

So I've noticed people get this euphoric happy face when they see a baby bump (which is sweet) and they don't mind touchy you or saying things to you that they would never say to a non-pregnant gal. Like the yesterday this guy looks at me and says "wow you have that pregnant, blowfish nose thing going on!" I mean really?! Who says that to an overly hormonal pregnant girl? AND to set it off he touches my stomach and says "oh you're huge, it must be twins." Please tell me I'm not the only one who this has happpened to! BTW...why do people feel the need to hold my belly like they are a part of it?

    I get the "it must be twins!" comment a lot! I get it though, because I'm a twin, but still. We're identical, so it doesn't work that way.?

    It doesn't make me mad, per se, because I know I'm showing earlier than most. I'm a very petite person. When I was measured for my wedding dress (got married in October) my waist was 24.5 inches, and my dress had to be taken in. I don't think I'll ever see that small of a waist again!!?

    But the "oh my gosh, you're getting so fat!" from my mom's neighbor made me want to throat punch her.?

    What?!  Blowfish nose thing?!  I've never heard of that before... how horrible.

    Well, other than the twin comments a few times, I was told by my mother in law that it must be a girl because I looked "thick".  Kthanks.

    I'm still waiting for those comments.  Probably when I'm showing more , they'll come pouring in.  So far the most annoying question I've been asked is:

    "Soooo...how much weight have you gained?"

    huh? Seriously, why ask me that?

    Oh, and at 12 weeks my cousin said, "Too bad it just looks like a beer gut."

    To which I replied, "You're an a$$hole."?

    I lost a twin so when people say 'are you sure there isn't 2 in there' it really gets to me. Yes I'm sure, I looked at the empty sac for about an 15 minutes one day - but thanks!

    Also, a guy calls me "chubby" at work. I lost my first name and now I am chubby. Um yeah - I told him that was mean.. he said he's joking and keeps doign it. 

    A lot of years and a million tears finally led me to you.
    After 7 years trying to concieve, 3 failed IUIs and 2 failed IVFs, my third IVF was a success!

    Yup, you're public domain now.

    I have one coworker who's called me chubby, reassured me twice that I'll be able to "lose the baby weight" and "get my figure back," told me that he's sure that I was miserable on vacation due to "all that extra weight you're carrying now," and told me to "stay out of the sun - you have more skin to burn now." OMG I hate him so much!

    I dare some @sshole to say things like that to me.

    One of my coworkers that is like a brother to me jokingly called me tubby one day (I'm tall and thin and haven't gained any weight and he's short and tubby). and I just said, "This is funny today, but I'm warning you that if you say that again when I've actually gained any weight, it will be like stepping on a landmine."

    We laughed, but he knew I was effing serious and he has not said it again (especially since I've started to gain weight.)

    I just popped this week and everyone wants to touch the bump.  I just stand there looking at them like they are crazy.  My friend said get used to it, it only gets worse.

     When I had my 1st I was a size 2 (had him in march) by June I was a size 0 almost and I have a more athletic frame so don't get down. I also wore a girdle as soon as i could and that help with the jell-o stomach.
