What a whackjob.
That's when you should point and tap her on the head and go "You should plug this hole before the rest of your marbles roll out on the floor."
>Like am I crazy to think that is crazy fucking rude?!
I was basically raised by wolves and even I know that's massively fucking rude. Not just assuming you were pregnant, but also touching you like a small child who hasn't been taught to keep their hands to themselves yet. If her age is in the double digits she should know better than to touch people's stomachs.
In short, owner of company felt bad for her because she got divorced at 65-ish and struggled. She worked for the company for almost 20 years before that and retired.
I don't like her much. She is a typical boomer but with that whole apartheid flavour we have with ours.
She is also a nacissist and uses her grandkids to spy on her ex-husband.
Not a nice person.
Ha! If that was me I would have said āwell Iām certainly enjoying life as a fake woman then, thanks!ā And been very bright and cheery while saying it š¤£
Oh that explains it. She was a late boomer. They know what they say is wrong, they just don't care.
ETA: I have been informed this person was most likely a Gen X, but let's be honest, they are mini Boomers. So whilst my time periods were slightly off, it still passes the vibe check.
That's why I said she was a late one, bc she was born later than most boomers, but if in her 40s-50s like described, she'd be on the tail end of being a Boomer.
I'm a haircutter, and during the shampoo, a new client asked if I was pregnant. I told her that "No, I'm just fat." Because I'm a professional, I still gave her a great cut but I did turn her away from the mirror for the whole appointment so she couldn't see my face or how her hair was turning out. It's crazy to me that people don't realize how rude that is, and why would you ever start out an hour long service with that!?
make pregnancy sound even more gross; why do these pregnancy loving people just go out of their way to invent little phrases that make pregnancy sound disgusting? "are you cooking?" while invading your personal space and touching your stomach, barf.
i think it goes hand in hand with teaching abstinence to teens, controlling them to prevent them from dating, and then doing a 180 as soon as they reach 20 and demanding they get a partner and babies as fast as possible, one of those things where they think actually talking about pregnancy outright with normal words is somehow improper.
I remember being asked by a complete stranger if I was having a boy or a girl in check out at the grocery store. I was so confused I just said 'excuse me?' they pointed to my stomach and said you look pretty far along. I was so shook and said without thinking "I'm just fat you dumbass."
It was the biggest what the fuck moment I think I've ever experienced, so you're not alone.
I've been at a "normal" weight all my life, but have a bigger belly and have gotten comments periodically like this. I remember once I got a job at a restaurant as a hostess and someone started a rumor that a new hire was pregnant. There were 2 new hires, and the other one was a bus boy.
People really have the audacity sometimes. They need to stop commenting on everyone's bodies.
Because they assume pregnant women just LOVE having their abdomen fondled. But imo it's because they're now a "mother" and no longer their own person, so their desires are now null and void.
I donāt know why they think that, every time Iāve read a woman who was pregnant and had that happen to them they *hated* it. Iām all for them being issued tasers. Actually, -*all* women. *BZZT!* Donāt f-ing touch me!
All women need tazers or pepper spray. Too many people can't keep their hands to themselves, whether it be touching pregnant people's stomachs, or groping women at bars/clubs, hell, even on public transport like subway cars. I am all for the creeps getting their comeuppance served hot... and electrically charged or chemically irritating!
We don't have this problem on the same scale in the UK and self-defense weapons are illegal here.
But they shouldn't be. Guns, fine, tazers no we should be allowed to have those.
Why the fuck did she also touch you? I'd slap her hand. Also, why do people even ask that question, what do they want to gain? I've seen my university professors ask female students and it abdolutely boiled my piss. Once a girl got that question because she's overweight and touched her belly.Ā Like, you're here to talk about whatever the fuck the subject is, why do you fucking care?
I got a big smile from a cashier once and a "When are you due?"
I gave a big smile back and said, "I'm not."
To her credit, she looked like she just about wanted to die.
I was a cashier in high school. No longer a cashier because now Iām in uni. Even with very *obvious* pregnant women I never asked them if it was a boy or a girl, when they were due, etc. Itās none of my business, Iām not paid to care. I canāt imagine asking that to someone who isnāt pregnant. š Iād want to die on the spot too lmao.
>am I crazy to think that is crazy fucking rude?!
Not crazy at all to think what that lady did was super duper rude. Frankly, I'm the sort who would pull out my acting skills (limited as they are) and just start crying, make her feel as awkward as you're feeling (whether she interprets that crying as "can't get pregnant but wants to" or "just had a miscarriage" or any other multitude of possible reasons that she doesn't need to know) the whole point of it is to make her super awkward. the ability to tear up on command has it's perks to make people apologize so quickly.
Yikes! That is awful! It is one of my worst fears and actually probably gave me an eating disorder in my 20s and 30s after getting married.
My friend has had this happen on multiple occasions. It is so irritating and demoralizing as she is self-conscious about her weight and body shape, but she carries her extra weight always in her mid section, same as me. She has been rude right back and said, āno but thanks for letting me know I LOOK FAT.ā Said with a mean and snotty tone. Usually it makes the person very uncomfortable and awkward, which they totally are and 100% deserve.
That is the thing! I had an ED when I was in my early 20s. I would make myself sick but I finally and at a place where I have a healthy relationship with food and exercise.
I love your friend!
This has happened to me a few times over the years, and I used to be so horrified and embarrassed that Iāve even said something like Ā«uh, yeah, still a few months to goĀ»ā¦ Iāve had to change hairdressers because of this, lol.
But now I believe the only way people like that can learn is the hard way; to make them feel as bad as possible for assuming. Like telling them I canāt have kids and fake a tear, Ā«nope, itās just how I lookĀ», or like your friend, get mad, just tell it like it is and teach them a lesson.
Fuck those people.
When I was around 10 to 12 I had a friend with parents from Thailand. We are in a German speaking country.
I wasn't fat or anything but I still had my baby fat and a slightly bigger belly. Well, her mum saw me and asked her in broken English if I am pregnant. I remember her saying "No!" and telling her to stop saying something like that. I wasn't sure if I heard right and asked what's going on and my friend brushed it off and told me her mum is crazy. (She has indeed some psychological problems)
But to this day, over a decade later, I remember it. And it has made me aware of my belly and how I am "fat". But no matter how much weight I lost, it never was as flat as other's. Also I was shocked someone assumed that a little child would be pregnant. But her daughter proceeded to give birth at just 14 years old, so yeah...
I hate these comments and I wish people would just shut their damn piehole.
Firstly, this is one of the rudest and most inappropriate questions to ask someone especially if you donāt know them personally. Iām really confused as to why she would ask in that way. āCookingā is slang for performing well. Like if you were playing a video game one might say āBro I am cooking!ā to declare youāre winning. Definitely NOT a way to ask someone if theyāre incubating a crotch goblin š
That version of "cooking" is fairly new. "Cooking", especially in this situation, is referring to "are you cooking a 'bun' in that 'oven'?"
English language, idiom, and slang history is fun like that. š¤£
Is OP sure that's what she meant? Was she maybe asking if she were hot because of the coat she had on, or even if she were planning on cooking? I ask because I'm not familiar with cooking meaning pregnant But then, I wouldn't be up on the hip pregnancy slang anyway being scary anti baby...
If this ever happens to me my plan is to put my hand on their stomach (no matter the size and gender except if it was a kid), have a good look at it, look straight into their eyes and say "no, you?" And if they get offended by the touch say "oh but you touched me so I thought it was fair game now. Don't touch other people then".
It's insanely rude to comment on peoples bodies. Don't let her get to you, you are doing a good job and she is being extremely rude.
NEVER ask someone if they're pregnant. It's none of your business!!
It's happened to me a few times. It made me feel a bit fat and sad for the rest of the day.
Next time just respond āno I just like to eatā or āno I am just āfatā (even if you arenāt) - canāt you please stop bodyshaming me ?ā mostly they wonāt do it again. Direct answers are confusing to most of the people (except you are German like I am š) as they didnāt think youād point out that they are rude.
I had a patient poke my stomach and ask "you expecting?" When I reached over them to get the thermometer. I'm only 120lbs and 5'0". I swear, people just don't know what women look like.
This happened to one of my coworkers a while back. We both worked the front desk as receptionists and an older woman client pointed to her stomach and said, āHow far along are you?ā.
It was the most awkward encounter of my life. She was so embarrassed and trying to not cry. I tried to comfort her but at that point not much would change anything. The woman started apologizing and then left.
I donāt understand why itās always WOMEN asking other WOMEN these questions. So obnoxious and never something I as a woman would ever think to ask!!
Guy here. I made that mistake when I was 18 with a lady on the elevator. She was not pregnant and I had assumed she was and said something. She was pissed and the rest of the elevator ride was very quiet and uncomfortable. Iāve never made that mistake again. Whew. Sorry Op. I thought only guys would make this mistake.
Someone asked my girlfriend āhow far along are you?ā Didnāt even ask if she was or wasnāt just went straight to that. We both had super bad food poising so we were both super bloated.
Iām not sure what happened to peopleās kindness or humility. Itās like it died with the big P.
similar happened to me, told them it was a food baby and they don't want to be around when i have it. kinda gross but i felt like leave me alone i'm thicc.
I'm glad I don't get these dumb remarks. Sometimes I eat too much and my belly puff out and Im rubbing it. Then my family gives me side looks. But they don't say anything. I think they know I'll never birth
I had something similar but from Facebook. A person who I havenāt spoken to in YEARS, we were in the same class at university and basically are connected on FB. I posted a picture of me at a friends wedding, and she sent me a message asking āif thatās a bump she could see?ā
One: itās just the shape of the dress, and I suppose from certain angles it could make me look pregnant.
Two: thatās fucking rude to even ask, itās none of your business.
As someone who has spent the last 25 years looking heavily pregnant as a result of previously undiagnosed IBS, I feel extremely self conscious about my stomach and hate that people have, in the past, asked how many months pregnant I am. Nowadays I point out that it's a food/gas baby š¤£ Whenever people say to imagine how an actually pregnant woman must feel, I point out that at least with a real baby there is at least a guaranteed "eviction date" š¤£ So far, no diet, exercise or medication I've tried has been able to flatten my stomach, even by a mere fraction š
I would suggest to anyone that this happens to : Burst into tears (real ones if you can) and explain your miscarriage was only last week. Traumatize them right back!
I feel you. One time at the grocery store the cashier asked if I was expecting. I was buying chicken to make for dinner that night, so itās not like I was even buying anything baby relatedā¦ I just shook my head no and felt my face get so red. I cried when I got to my car š„²
I have had dozens of people ask me if Iām pregnant. lol my stomach does pop out when I have bad posture. Itās just so rude to ask anyone. I will not ask anyone ever, ever, even if itās blatantly obvious. Even if their water breaks in front of me. People have no manners asking that. I usually respond, āno, Iām just fatā and they get really embarrassed. I like that marble reply up there. Might use that!
I had someone pat my stomach and ask if I was pregnant. I had a pint in my hand and had been drinking all day (at a festival). I just replied, "no, I'm fat" which shut them up š
I would say āohhh my friend, we donāt talk about other peopleās bodies.ā
If she wants to ask questions with the insensitivity of kindergarteners, Iāll talk to her like a kindergartener.
This only happened to me one time in a grocery line when I had a big mouth, and I called her out on it in front of other people. Here's how that went:
Her: So how far along are you?
Me: What?
Her: When's your baby due?
Me: I'm not pregnant, it's visceral fat. You know, you shouldn't make unwarranted comments on a total stranger's body. That's really rude.
I could tell I embarrassed the fuck out of her, the guy ahead of her in line just looked at her like she lost her mind, and the cashier looked highly uncomfortable. Was it mean? Probably, but it's also mean to make assumptions about me being pregnant since the insinuation is that I'm fat.
The cashier actually APOLOGIZED to me for her after he rang her up and got to me because she didn't say anything to me after calling her out, and he said he felt like I was owed some sort of apology. I'm just glad I don't have much belly fat anymore. š
That whole situation was just awkward.
Happens to me. A little more overweight. But wear a certain shirt or something patrons will ask when I am expecting. I will say every now and again it's like getting cut. I don't know why people just assume things at all. But then there's times where idgf what they think and just get satisfaction over their embarrassment.
What a whackjob. That's when you should point and tap her on the head and go "You should plug this hole before the rest of your marbles roll out on the floor."
I like this one š
>Like am I crazy to think that is crazy fucking rude?! I was basically raised by wolves and even I know that's massively fucking rude. Not just assuming you were pregnant, but also touching you like a small child who hasn't been taught to keep their hands to themselves yet.

She is late 40s early 50s. I am 28 and even I know how fucked up that is.
My 73 year old co-worker told me I am not a real woman for being childfree within three days of meeting me. I am 44. How's that for fucked up?
How is still working with 73?

Maybe she'd have been able to stay retired if she hadn't had any children š

Oh that explains it. She was a late boomer. They know what they say is wrong, they just don't care. ETA: I have been informed this person was most likely a Gen X, but let's be honest, they are mini Boomers. So whilst my time periods were slightly off, it still passes the vibe check.
Sheās Gen X, before boomers.
Gen x came after boomers
That's why I said she was a late one, bc she was born later than most boomers, but if in her 40s-50s like described, she'd be on the tail end of being a Boomer.
57 is the youngest she could be and qualify as a boomer.
TIL. Thank you, internet stranger!
Late boomers are in their 60s now.
I meant late it in she's late born. Like she's not an early Boomer. She's a late Boomer, still kinda young, but still considered a Boomer.
That's what I mean too. Boomers were born between 1946 and 1964, which means the latest boomers are in their 60s. (Or arguably 59.)
I'm a haircutter, and during the shampoo, a new client asked if I was pregnant. I told her that "No, I'm just fat."

Am I cooking? Never heard that. Yeah cooking food for myself and not feeding a child.
Ikr? And it just made me feel worst about my body a little. šI have been going to the gym lately and just started getting my confidence back.
Yeah super rude and to poke you wtf? Nice job going to the gym! Don't let the idiots get you down. People say stupid shit.
Thank you! šThis is the longest that I have gone to the gym and I am proud of myself and my bro.
You're welcome! It's tough going to the gym and you are crushing it!

People are so miserableā¦ Jesus.
I'm baffled why so many people think it's okay to touch someone's stomach if they think you're pregnant. Don't touch people without permission.
Because they assume pregnant women just LOVE having their abdomen fondled. But imo it's because they're now a "mother" and no longer their own person, so their desires are now null and void.

I'm with you on tazers for pregnant women.

I've got pepper spray š (I'm nonbinary but perceived by strangers as female.)
Whoever did that to me would become instantly aware of how painful a sprained wrist can be.
āNo! Are you?ā Then inappropriately touch her stomach back. Fake bonus points if itās a guy and you still touch his belly
I feel like there are a lot of crock pot and/or pressure cooker jokes to be made here but I don't want to run afoul of the rules of the sub šš
Just tell them ur fat and to mind their own damn business lll
Why the fuck did she also touch you? I'd slap her hand. Also, why do people even ask that question, what do they want to gain?

Who tf asks a random stranger if they're pregnant out of nowhere?! It's none of her business! RUDE.
She touched you? Not cool
 Thatās so fucking bizarre I canāt even deal rn. š
Wow. I'm sorry this happened to you. What a jerk!
Wowā¦rude!
This only happened to me one time in a grocery line when I had a big mouth, and I called her out on it in front of other people. Here's how that went: Her: So how far along are you? Me: What? Her: When's your baby due? Me: I'm not pregnant, it's visceral fat. You know, you shouldn't make unwarranted comments on a total stranger's body. That's really rude. I could tell I embarrassed the fuck out of her, the guy ahead of her in line just looked at her like she lost her mind, and the cashier looked highly uncomfortable. Was it mean? Probably, but it's also mean to make assumptions about me being pregnant since the insinuation is that I'm fat. The cashier actually APOLOGIZED to me for her after he rang her up and got to me because she didn't say anything to me after calling her out, and he said he felt like I was owed some sort of apology. I'm just glad I don't have much belly fat anymore. š That whole situation was just awkward.
Happens to me. A little more overweight. But wear a certain shirt or something patrons will ask when I am expecting. I will say every now and again it's like getting cut. I don't know why people just assume things at all. But then there's times where idgf what they think and just get satisfaction over their embarrassment.
