S/O Rude comments: What was the RUDEST comment you ever got?

I'll start.
(At 14 weeks PG, showing off my bloaty-bump to coworkers, who were oo-ing and aah-ing. Another coworker, whom I don't even know, walks up and says) "You're 14 weeks pregnant?...What are you having, an ELEPHANT?!" and walks away.
At that point I hadn't gained any pregnancy weight...at all.

Re: S/O Rude comments: What was the RUDEST comment you ever got?
Eek, it SHOULD be "you have ever gotten?" or "you have ever recieved?"
Sorry--grammar blunder!
For real! She was like, 50 and overweight. Are you KIDDING?
I got "Are you sure there's only one in there?"...really??? you're really asking a hormonal, pregnant woman this question? what are you: stupid or suicidal? LOL
People can be so obtuse!
Bar tab = $156,000, Bus to Foxwoods = $0, Puking in the Stanley Cup = Priceless
WOW!!! I would have junk punched that guy!!!
I have received this comment before... and also after I announced the pg at work I had a male coworker say to me "Oh thank god you're pregnant... because over the last few weeks I kept saying to myself 'damn, she's really packing on the pounds'."
People need to think before they speak and if they don't have anything nice to say they should STFU.
DH's grandmother passed away recently, and at the family get together afterwards, I met a few members I never had before. One aunt said, "Oh, so when are you two getting married? AND you're already pregnant?! You don't waste any time do you? How long have you known him?" Mind you, I've known my DH since I was thirteen and we were engaged months before we found out I was pregnant. She later asked, "Now, we ARE invited to the wedding right?" I smiled sweetly and said, "You'll have to speak to him about that."
ps. She was NEVER on our guest list, and certainly won't be invited!
I've gotten both of those, such a pain.First, I did this on purpose. And the " I hope it's a girl" one is even more annoying when it comes from someone you hardly know. And it's like, why do you even care I hardly know you?
heres a few:
MIL said--are you sure its not twins? --last pregnancy
I had a woman almost faint when i told her I had 2 months to go and she thought I was due that week
People would ask "are you happy?""are you gonna keep it?" --since ds wasnt planned -- made me so angry
"wow you guys know what makes babies right?" duh-we planned this one to be so close to DS
"Are you going to keep it?" (Granted, the chick who said this blind drunk at a party, but I still wanted to punch her.)
"It's gonna be so funny when you're all pregnant and can't keep up at the gym."
I hate that comment. Yes, we planned all three of our children and yes I know my oldest is only three. That is what we wanted. My aunt at christmas said 'i think we need to have the talk with her about what makes babies'

EEK those are terrible!
I also got, "Wow...you just got married.." ::counting back the weeks on their fingers:: "Did you even get time to enjoy eachother first?"
Obviously we did, because I got pregnant 21 days after got married ;-)
ME 2!
WOOHOO! Honeymoon babies!! :-)
I'm pretty sure you're still enjoying your "time" with DH, right? Getting pregnant didn't kill the love/romance/mushiness at ALL. We celebrated 6 months recently and the baby only added to our joy.
Seriously, like you have to be married 2 years to have "enough" time alone first.
I hate this! DH and I were together for 5 years before we got married. I think we have had plenty of time together. Now we want to share our love with a baby. Mind your own damn business!
We did TOO! How funny. The rudest comments I've gotten are...
one from DH's friend after he told him I was pregnant.. "Wow, did you have any idea?" NO he didn't you dbag, we're only married. We must have never talked about having kids. DUH.
We've gotten "You guys didn't waste any time, did you?" Gotta love that one.
And I HATE when people say, "Are you excited?" Omg people, do you now know me at all? So annoying.
Exactly--we were together exactly 3 years. But I don't feel like we missed out not being married for a long time.
DH's aunt came up to me after the announcement and said "Oh, I see that's what brought on the wedding." Grrrrr - count back 6 weeks and realize you got the invite a few weeks before that. Dumbass
Someone at my son's daycare told me:
"Ahh, you've got your fat face already!"
Um, I'm 16 weeks and have gained five pounds. Apparently all in my face
I'm so sorry you had those previous losses
I'm PUMPED you guys with this new little addition!! Yes, he seriously used all his groom-power to ask you to start trying, sneaky man! :-)

Aww, lame! Yes, wasting time..that's common. There is no such thing as wasting time when you're in love--whether in love and just the two of you or in love with the 3 of you. I just hate that people assume you're missing out if you get pregnant right away!!
ps. The zip code thing is AWFUL! As her if she needs a bag to go with her word vomit!
That's so silly--especially since they know your reasons!
I had a guy at work look at me and go 'why are you telling people? If it's your first, you know you'll miscarry it anyway.'
And, i had a girl at work who said 'you know, you may not have gained any weight yet, but you'll get super fat in your last trimester.'
Neither of these people are on my favorite people list.

You got married the day before me
That was a good weekend. And I get that same question all the time! It annoys the crap out of me.
OMG! That is terrible! You know, I actually worried about this with my first child. My sister and her husband had just adopted a then 9-month-old boy from Guatemala after years of infertility. We found out we were pregnant after just a few months of TTC when he'd been in their home just a month. We wanted to make the announcment at Thanksgiving, but decided to wait and let my nephew be the big THANKSgiving of that holiday! So we waited a few more weeks. I told her first because I was nervous and a bit guilty that it was so easy for me. She was wonderful and was so excited, especially when we found out we were having a boy. They are 20 months apart and best friends now!
When I was pregnant with DD I got a ton of comments about how big I was, including:
"You are definately going to be on bed rest because you've gotten so big already!" (From someone who's never been pg)
"Are you sure you aren't having more than 1?!?" (from randoms)
And many more along that lines. I did have a huge belly b/c I'm only 5'4" and ended up having a 10lb baby, but really, I don't need to hear that ALL the time.
This time I just hear about how we are SOOOO crazy to have them so close and a co-worker was telling me how bad it'll be with my daughter b/c a friend of her's had two this close and the oldest went to the ER for three days in a row after they brought home baby b/c he kept eating stuff like ant poison. WTF?? Watch your kid!
