Frustrated with some people! The Nerve!

JanaBabe09 · August 2009

So I'm having a bummer day. I was at work and quite busy when this woman came into my store and starting making small chit chat which is quite fine by me, I love talking to people but then she pipes up, "Oh my gosh, your pregnant?!". My jaw dropped to the floor. "No sorry not pregnant, but we are trying". I tried to stay cheerful, I know she meant well. I mean I'm a little over weight but I definitely do NOT look pregnant. She has the nerve to say to me after, "You shouldn't get pregnant because you are very overweight and that isn't healthy mind you would probably end up obese and a couch potato if you did. I can just tell"... I couldn't believe it! She was probably only a 100 pounds soaking wet so I dunno what her definition of obese is but damn! I was speechless. I told her thanks for the concern but its none of her business and its wrong for her to judge people like that. I wanted to badly to rip out her throat but since I was at work I just kept calm and waved good-bye. Has anyone else had a situation like this? I feel all self-concious now and needless to say I hid behind the desk for the good portion of the rest of my day....

That's horrible!! What an awful woman! I haven't had that experience, but I do have a friend who people often congratulate for being pregnant, even though she is not. She is not significantly overweight either, but the little bit of spare weight she does have, she carries all in her stomach.

Don't let that woman get to you. She's not worth it.

wtf? some people have no filter and should just never speak....ever. how rude! so sorry you were bombarded with that:(

Holy hell! I think I could've been as polite with the pg question, but after her commentary I couldn't have held back. Then again, I've found that stupidity leaves me speechless, so I really may have only wished I'd been able to flip out.

I overheard someone at work saying they they felt bad for me because while she does nothing but complain about her weight I'm already fat and won't look pregnant.

Wow, she is rude! I never ever congratulate someone on being pregnant unless I am 100% sure she is. My sister has been suspected of being KU on a few occasions because of where she carries her weight and it has really hurt her feelings and lowered her self esteem big time.

Holy fvck. I would have punched her in the vagina.

AmberZ2be · August 2009

Wow. Sorry you had to deal with such a biitch. Kdodge is right!

sarahandeddiejune212008 · August 2009

I thought you were never supposed to ask a woman if she was pg just in case she's not. That woman is so rude.

bedebum13 · August 2009

WTF??? You should have kicked her in the back of the knee!

Lexi0402 · August 2009

What a jerk!

aah62709 · August 2009

WOW. Good job keeping your cool!

JanaBabe09 · August 2009

Thanks ladies, I feel a little better about it. Trust me I wanted to just kick in the vajayjay lol. I just couldn't believe someone would say that. I can't wait until I actually am pregnant so I can just say yes I am instead of no I'm just fat... errr.. But I've come to the conclusion that she is just unhappy cause shes skinny and old.. past her time.. lol

I'm sorry you had to deal with that--it sounds like you handled it very well though!

beachgirl78 · August 2009

Wow unbelievable! I think you handled that just right. Some people are just clueless!

eff her!

I am overweight. I only gained 13 pounds total with my pregnancy (with zero exercise due to my blood pressure issues, and eating everything bad in sight!). Within 3 weeks of having her, I had lost the 13 I gained while pregnant PLUS 13 additional pounds.

Grrrrr. biitches like that piss me off.

jms26 · August 2009

Yeah, we have been trying for 2 years, and I have decided that it is really never ok to ask someone if they are preganant, or when they are going to start trying. I had a m/c earlier this year, and had a really hard time with a few coworkers that were telling me I should start trying. So, I feel it is never a good time to ask!

AJflowers · August 2009

Wow. I agree w/kdodge. I have had a couple of DH's friends make sideways comments to me before, and I am NOT over weight. One said, "So, I guess you didn't keep up with your running." And another said, "at least you have a great rack" referring to me being "chubbier" than his wife (who's a rail). People are dumb. What's the point of even saying things like that. I still have to see these people. I hope you never have to see this woman again.
