And it starts...
I'm not going to go into a lot of detail. Let's just saw things at work have gotten really annoying and I'm ticked off.
The new guy comes into my office. Right off the bat is asking me about my pregnancy. I JUST met him and I haven't even had a chance to tell him, not that I would have right away, I don't know him and it's none of his business right now. But I work in a place where gossip runs like water so what ever.
Then I'm trying to show him around and he says "are you drinking coffee in your condition young lady?" really? First of all I don't consider myself to have a condition. And just because your 55 and I'm 27 doesn't mean you can call me young lady, I have a name, use it. AND I know you saw the Starbucks I walked in with. Is this your way of lecturing me??? It's decaf you ass.
We've only been in the office an hour and a half and he's made at least 4 other comments regarding me eating healthy, drinking healthy and washing my hands when the baby comes......... WTF. This is going to be a long day.
Re: And it starts...
Pregnant women seem to be pretty much fair game in the eyes of the general public. It's annoying, but the sooner you get used to it, the better because it only gets worse once you have a newborn to care for. Everyone is an 'expert' and they'll continue to share their 'knowledge' as long as you have ears to listen. I've found being a smartass is a lot easier than getting upset about it.
Its amazing! Really. Smartass I can do. And your right too, even if it wasn't decaf its none of his buisiness (I can't stomach it right now lol)
To make matters worse, he is sick and Caughing all over....yet that doesn't seem to bother him to do around a "young girl in this condition "

A girl at my work asked me last week if I was pregnant. I told her I wasn't sure yet (lie.) and she goes,"Well, you have a pooch."
Thanks.
Then when she found out I was pregnant she told me there had to be more than one in there because I pooch so much in the afternoon.
Look, lady, I weigh 95.3 lbs. Suuck it. Don't hate.
O_O that deserves a kick to the taco.
Who even says something like that???
I never comment on anyone's bump until at leeeeast 4 or 5 months when it is super obvious and then only, "how cute" or "how beautiful" or "how precious" you look. Who says things like that? I mean I know I've said things and felt like inserting my foot on some occassions but really... wow.
I think I would respond sarcastically... 'well, since my doctor who has a ph'd says that this is fine, I think I'll listen to HIM/HER, but thank you for your advice.'
Definitely this! Sorry that you had to deal with that today.
Jessica - lol wow. Took him a while to think of that!
Kari - that's just rude of her!!! It makes you want to say something back at her lol sak her if she's pregnant next time you see her.
Misskriss - thanks. It is lame, hopefully he backs off soon.
Crystal - I know what you mean! I would never make a comment to someone who a) I just met and b) they hadn't even told me themselves they were pg.
Gah
