C'mon $ store clerk

Ok, I admit, I am more sensitive than usual about our TTC struggles lately.

But, tonight was the icing on the cake.

DD and I were at the $ store picking up a few things. I needed more OPKs so I had a few in my basket when the clerk looks at me and her and says 'oooh someone is planning to give you a baby brother or sister!' I changed the subject to something else and DD was unphased.For me, I felt a whiff of how it felt when TTC was fun and exciting and happened after a couple of tries. 

So instead of being bummed, I am going to try and channel this to amping up the TTC. Bring on the ovulation cramps! If DH wasn't snoring already I'd hit him up now!

    I always go through the check lanes with a MAN - they're too embarrassed to make comments! Ugh. If that was me I would have probably complained to a manager about lack of tact.

    Of course - I'm in a bit of a mood too. :-<

    I totally would have if I had a choice, she was the only clerk. I probably would have cried if I mentioned it to the manager. But if I was feeling fiestier I would have!

    Ugh those are the comments that sting the most. I can't believe she had the nerve to say that! Good for you for handling it so well! I would've ran out of there as fast as I could & sobbed in the car but I'm a head case.

    I hate when clerks comment on anything I'm buying.  Let alone something personal.  That's so rude.

    Next time say, "I just like to pee on things!" If it doesn't shut her up you know to pick a different $ store. :)
