Creep at the sushi restaurant

So I just picked up sushi for dinner, and while I was waiting in line The man in front of me turned around and asked when I was due. If any of you happen to watch real housewives of Orange County He reminded me of Vicky's boyfriend Brooks. Super southern accent, think he's hot shit, but is really just creepy.
Anyway, he tells me I have one piece of advice for you… Have the epidural. Do not be the hero! I can tell you from experience that it doesn't cross the placenta into the baby and it's perfectly safe to have done. I asked him if he was an anesthesiologist, giving him way too much credit, And he said oh no, don't worry about that. Whatever the hell that means. I'm assuming he's in pharmaceutical sales because he went on to tell me that he's from Birmingham and is spending the night in my city on his way home. I felt dirty after!
No matter your birth preference, where does the jerk get off thinking he can approach pregnant women and give them advice on their births? WTF?!?!? And I'm so mad at myself because I am always stunned at crap like this that I have no response but I can think of a million things like, F@ck off!! Gross end to a pretty good day!

I think any woman in there who wasn't considering an epidural decided to give it a shot just to spite them.
I think fuckery is my new favorite word
I wouldn't be surprised if he does
