The sh*t people say!

I'm starting this discussion because I honestly feel like some people make me smack them when they say things before thinking. I know I'm not the only one!

Guy I work with: How far along are you?
Me: Almost 9 months, I have 5 weeks to go.
Guy: Wow you look way more than that!
Me: THANKS! (in my head: you a$$)

Today:
Customer: How much longer are you going to be here?
Me: 1 more week
Customer: Well you look like you're going to pop any day now.
Me: **silence**

Why is it people have to comment on my size all the time! Just shut your mouth!


What have people said to you recently that makes you want to just smack tape over their mouth?

Re: The sh*t people say!

  • People at work get me all the time with - Aren't you done with this yet? Meaning, you didn't have the baby yet. Umm...no, or I wouldn't be here. And I'm not due until March so no, we're not done with this yet.
  • I'm the opposite on the size factor.  When I tell people I'm due in 2 weeks they stare at my belly and ask me if I've been eating enough and if the baby is growing right.  I've gained 41 effing pounds, thank you very much.

  • I'm so glad I haven't experienced anyone saying anything about how I'm looking. I don't have the restraint to hold my tongue in situations like that! So sorry you ladies have had to deal with idiots.

  • I got "are you feeling the baby yet?" From my MIL yesterday. "I said not, probably not for another month or so" and she told me I was wrong, I'd feel things before then. I'm 12 weeks lady! I'm not going to be feeling baby for a while yet!

    This happens to me at work. I want to hit them. I don't want to tell them yet because I don't like them enough. Not because I'm not ready to.

  • I had someone ask me if I was pregnant, then when I said 'no, just getting ready for winter' she winked and said 'ok- I'll just ask you again in a few weeks'

    Umm. No.

    Luckily this was before we had even really started trying.

    I hated that one. Not because it implied I was large, but because yes, there were twins in there but we lost one of them. I came close to blurting that out a few times just to make people feel shitty.
