WHAT THE F***!? kind of PR but not actually

One of the guys at my job, who I don't reallllly know very well, just came into my office and asked me if I "was baking anything in there?" My reply was "um nooo..." He then goes "I just had a feeling you are you've been looking different and kind of got a glow." My response, "No I've just gained a ton of weigh and got a tan but thanks..."

Seriously!?!? First of all who starts a conversation with someone who DON't know by, "hey I was just wondering are you baking anything in there?" (insert head nudge toward my stomach)

  • I always think I'll have the balls to just punch someone in the junk after a comment like that but I get sooo flustered because it just isn't expected that I don't know what to do!

  • I'm so sorry you had to deal with that asshat!

    It amazes me how many people just open their mouths and don't give a second thought to what they are saying. People have been asking me if I am pregnant for at least 10 years now. I had two customers, who I had never seen or helped before, ask me in one day. And another customer, a regular, asked me if I was pregnant a few months ago. I told her I was not and then she goes "oh, it's ok...I have a belly too." Then proceeded to lift up her shirt in the middle of the bank lobby. She also said "you might be pregnant and just not know it." I kind of wanted to respond with "actually I am 100-fucking-% positive that I am not pregnant...but thanks." Sadly, I could not because I wanted to keep my job and all that.

  • @oohsparkly13 -  That's unbelievable!! A woman should just know not to ask crazy shit like that! Even when I can clearly tell someone is pregnant I won't mention it until they bring it up to me, otherwise I pretend the belly isn't there.

    Exactly! I think people forget that pregnancy is still a very personal thing. Because it is such an obvious physical condition, they think it's totally cool to ask personal and probing questions.
