Dear Tummy Touchers...vent

Dear Tummy Touchers,

wtf are you doing? You can't feel my baby yet, I CAN"T feel my baby yet.  I am not Buddha I will not bring you luck, just a slap on the had or a kick to the shins.  Use what you learned in Kindergarten and keep your hands to yourself.

Thanks.

 

 Sorry, 3 strangers felt me up at the store today, I am not even that big yet, but no longer look fat but pregnant.  I just don't get it.

    Um...no.  People skeeve me out enough as it is but stranger - I don't think so.  If it were someone I knew I would ask them politely to not touch my bely but if some stranger came up to me and touch my belly they are getting slapped/punched.

    Yup, just random strangers...The area we live in has a LOT of elderly and they have zero boundaries.   My bump isn't even that big yet, I am gonna have to bring a taser with me as it gets bigger.

    I've never been able to understand why people do this to people they don't know!  I would have been seriously ticked off.  Just cause we're pregnant, doesn't mean it's a free pass to touch!

    I fully intend on having a t-shirt printed with "Don't touch me." on the belly.

    Maybe one with "Touch me and I will tase you."...

    Really, you could make a different one for each day of the week! ;o)

    This hasn't happened to me yet (bump is still a potbelly), so I'm wondering, do these people give you any advance notice before they touch you?  Like do they say something as they're reaching for you, or do they just do like a lightning strike?  I need to be prepared and figure out how I'm going to protect myself.

    A tshirt that says What does MC Hammer say?? Can't touch this. 

    Or I saw a super cute picture of the pillsbury dough boy with a gun on someone's post that said. " Go ahead touch me one more time b**ch" or something like that.  I am tempted as well, it's getting harder to get through the day when I work at a women's gym.

    My friend touched my belly once - I thought he was going to give me a hug and instead he went for the belly and said "Hello Little Tierney".  I didn't mind so much because he's been my friend since we were 5 so I'd rather him touch my belly over people I barely know.

    Strangers, absolutely not. In fact I went to an outdoor cake concert last Thursday and was letting my friend touch my tummy when a complete strangers comes up, coos and goes in for the reach. I quickly put my arms in an x over my stomach and quite rudely said "I don't know you, you don't know me, don't touch me unless you want me to touch back." A guy that was somewhat near us then replied "Does that apply to me to" with a totaly poop eating grin on his face. No creeper you'll just get decked!

    Now that I'm bigger and my tummy is rock hard I ask friends if they want to touch. I like it when people I know touch, I guess it makes me feel more pregnant or something.

    One of them I was at the deli counter and she stood next to me and then swooped in while I was ordering.

    The next was next to me at the produce section, I asked if she confused me for the melon, and if so I was not ripe yet.

    the last was the BAGGER!!!

    Honestly, it makes me want to slap people...  I haven't had the experience of a stranger doing it yet, but I don't think that will go over well when/if it happens.  Props to you for not decking people.
