people are SO rude! (obvs, rant)
UGH, i am so angry right now. DH and i stopped at nordstrom on our way home today so i could pick up some makeup. we were walking in, minding our own business, when this other customer starting talking to another woman and said, "OH. MY. GOD. that woman looks like she is about to have that baby at any second!" then she proceeded to stare at me like i was some freak of nature. she wasn't saying it like oh, poor thing, how pregnant (which would have still been annoying), but she was saying it like i was the most disgusting thing she had ever seen. all i could do was shoot her an angry look to let her know i had heard her (we were far enough away from her that she could have said it so i wouldn't have overheard, but she made a point of being loud), and she just continued to talk! i turned back around to give her another dirty look and she was stil starting at me! seriously, i have never seen something this rude! i guess i was committing a crime against humanity by just being out in public! heaven forbid i disgrace people with my mere presence! UGH. i still want to just hit her. and i do wish i had said something, but i didn't want to make a scene.
if you've had something like this happen, what have you done in response? anything?

(pretty sure a bumpie "said" this once...)
My reply would have been to march up to her and say "I'm pregnant, what is your excuse?"
This. It boggles my mind how people act as if it's the strangest thing in the world to see a pg woman, I mean seriously wtf! I get stared at all the time.
I've never faced this, but depending on my mood, I might have had to say something. I probably would have been deadpan honest though, and said "do you have any idea how rude you are being?"
I can be witty as hell when I want to, but on the spot I'm not such a cool cucumber!
I just say things back just as loudly to DH (yes I'm a child) "wow isn't it great how people act like sound doesn't travel" or " So great hearing every ignorant bitches opinion as if I asked it...really saves me the hassle of initiating conversations and asking how they feel about ME being pregnant"
Ugh, why do people speak? The more pregnant I get the more I hate everyone. Grr.?
So glad to hear I'm not the only one hearing inappropriate/stupid comments from total strangers. I was at CVS and in my cart was some ice-cream. It actually was not for me but for my sister. So this guy looks at me and says, "So that's how you got so fat".?
I wish I had some witty comment back but I didn't. I just lamely said that it wasn't for me. Then he thought I would care to know that his ex-gfriend was an OB/GYN. Like I give a *** and why would I even talk to you after you just insulted me! AHHHH-now I'm all pissed off again. What's wrong w/people?!
