wow my first rude person

DeAnna&DavidRyder · November 2010

I'm shopping with me mom. Some lady comes to ask us what we are looking for. She then asks when I'm due. I say jan. She looks me over and says 'and you think you're going to make it till then? Wtf. I'm not even big! I can still get my pants buttoned and I'm measuring 2-3 weeks behind! Grrrr

belleamor · November 2010

I get people telling me I look too small when I'm measuring normal. One lady even had the nerve to tell me I looked like a toothpick with an olive on it. I think generally people just want to tell you what they think (aka basically judge you) when half of the time they don't know what they're talking about, it's none of their business and/or their opinion wasn't even wanted.

Those are the times when I smile and say, "oh really?" and then just walk away.

I have people tell me that all the time! My EDD isn't until Feb 14th (Scheduled c/s Feb 7th), and everyone tells me i'm huge and not going to make it to Feb.

Last night we took DS to see Santa and he asked Santa to bring his brother for Christmas (he's 4) and Santa said he thinks he'll be here by Dec 17th, so I stopped Santa told him Dec 17th was way to early by almost 2 months, Santa said that was ok and looked at DS again and said oh well I think he'll be here, Santa will see what he can do for you!!

Now I have a 4 year old who this Santa's bringing his brother. People sometimes don't stop and think before they say things!!

One of the clearest things I've learned since being pregnant is that lots of people have weird social skills. Unfortunately, she probably won't be your last rude person.

People can be incredibly rude. It's starting to annoy me as well. In 1 day, 2 of my patients made rude comments... one said that there is NO way that my baby is a girl b/c of the "way I'm carrying." She went on and on about this until I gave up. The 2nd women said "you're huge! there's got to be 2 in there." Ugh, hello, I'm not exactly feeling cute and the comments do NOT help.

I have a girl at work that keeps telling me how wide I look from behind. I've got to the point where I turned around and told her at least I had an excuse (she's been dieting all year). It annoys me that just because I am pregnant, people feel they can say whatever they want to me. Like I'm on display or something!

I get this too!!!

Noone has made any rude comments to me...yet. If someone does...I'm not so nice. So my response would be just as rude. I've always had a very short temper and now it's 10 times worse.

I work retail and in the last 3 weeks i have received so many rude comments. I was fine for the first few then i started getting really annoyed. My favorite was a sales(wo)man (who wanted me to buy stuff from her) started asking me about when i was due and how i look like i'm carrying twin or one HUGE baby. Then she proceeded to ask me about how much weight my doctor says i'm allowed to gain. I was so shock i couldn't come up with a smart comment to come back with!

Good lord I prob would have been shocked at this too. It's one thing to say you are too big or too small but for her to actually ask how much your ALLOWED to gain.. wtf.

I had a friend's mom tell me the other day (after we mentioned that it's twins) - "Oh my GAWD - You go tell your doctor you want a do-over!" I'm assuming she thought this was funny and wasn't actually suggesting I abort my babies.

Then yesterday, my dad helped bring home baby furniture we ordered through Walmart and had shipped to the store. I had to walk to the far back of the store to give them my paperwork, and then they would bring everything back out through the front. So my dad dropped me off at the front doors and just had to circle the parking lot for awhile. As I was getting out of the truck, this guy walks over and says "You can't even bother to go park your car, you lazy fat a$$?!" I wanted to pummel him (and I think my dad would have helped) but he ran off too fast.

There are no words for this.

What the eff??!?! I wish you had pummeled him, what a freakin moron! He shouldn't be talking like that to anyone!!

I hate that. People think they are being funny or cute or something. But it's rude.

JCragg · November 2010

Oh I had my first yesterday too...went back to my hometown and there was this craft fair. A girl that I use to be good friends with (younger than me), we figure skated together for 10 years. Well she goes "Wow you're a lot bigger than ____" her new SIL that's due the same time. Mom of the girl says "Well she is much better than ____". This coming from someone who use to weight 300+ lbs.

Strunella · November 2010

I've gotten a few comments about carrying twins, being huge, and looking like I'm ready to go. Honestly, I take it all with a grain of salt and don't let it bother me.

beautifulsin90 · November 2010

I get that all the time. It always makes me mad cause I already feel fat and horrible and now you, some random person is going to try and make me feel worst.

It is really sad that people have to act that way.
