You know what's awesome?

When some says to you "oh, congratulations! I didn't know you were expecting!"

and you're not pregnant.

Re: You know what's awesome?

  • Yeah, that always manages to ruin a girl's day. I wish people thought before asking that question.

    Right?!

    I responded with "no, but thanks!"

    and then the guy was like "omg, i'm sorry!  i should learn from my mistakes!" and then proceeded to tell me how he did the same thing to his neighbor last winter.

  • I had a co-worker say that to me once, while reaching out to pat my stomach.

    I replied, "Nope, just wearing an incredibly unflattering dress, apparently!" She was mortified. But, that didn't stop her from doing the same thing again, a year later.

  • Haha! That has happened to me before.

    Last week, the same coworker reached out and grabbed some loose fabric on the back of my pants, kind of between my butt and thighs as she was exclaiming over how much weight I've lost. I appreciated the sentiment, but keep your darned hands to yourself!

    she clearly wasn't mortified enough

    again, WTF is wrong with people?

    That is not even a little bit appropriate!!!!

    OMG people are so crazy!!!!!!!!

  • Even my oh so inappropriate husband will not say anything unless he sees a baby's head crowning out!
  • It's bad enough to say stuff like that, but to make the embarrassing mistake of saying it to someone not PG TWICE???  How do people not learn to shut their traps after the first time being wrong?

    I know! She is a nice lady so I didn't snap "Keep your hands to yourself!" But I was kind of bewildered. I would never grab a coworker's body!

     Although once a coworker was wearing a soft, fuzzy shirt and as I complimented it, I stroked her sleeve. Then I was mortified and apologized.

  • Oh, that sucks!

    Funny story - we went to visit DH's cousins a couple weekends ago.  Well, we had no idea she was expecting.  She walked in (about 6-7 mo's pregnant... it was obvious...) and I could see the look on DH's face... like "should I say something?  I know I'm not supposed to!?!"

    They had thought someone told us months ago.  LOL.

    oh hell no. granted, it is a great compliment but many other ways to express it.

  • I'm sorry. :(

    I did that to someone once and I felt SO bad. But in my defense, another co-worker told me that that this person was pregnant. She was wrong! I was pregnant at the time, so when this person asked me about my pregnancy, I thought it would be nice for me to ask about hers, too. Total fail. :(  I tried to explain that someone told me she was pregnant, but I was still mortified.

  • I recently ran into a friend who was 8.5 months pregnant and refused to even acknowledge that she was pregnant (I didn't know before I saw her) for fear of this happening.  I felt really stupid because we all looked at each other like I was crazy for not bringing it up, but I refuse to be one of those people!  People are crazy
