I was asked for the third time (in one year) if I am pregnant. This time by a stranger in a grocery store...and to make it even better she actually touched my stomach while asking when I was due.
There is nothing more "I am fat" affirming than being asked if you are pregnant when you aren't.
People astound me on a regular basis. I just can't get over peoples chutzpah to touch and then ask a perfect stranger (who may just have a little extra belly fat) when they are having a baby. First of all how is that any of your business ? Second, I DON'T KNOW YOU! Don't touch me!
I should have bitch slapped her.
All three people who have asked me this obnoxious question have been embarrassed after I tell them that I am not, in fact, pregnant. So why even put yourself in that situation? Spare yourself the embarrassment and don't comment on a stranger, or anyones, belly size.
Consider me annoyed.

Man, do I feel you on this one. I can't tell you how many times that's happened to me in the past few years--I think it's even worse in Italy because people generally have less compunction about commenting on another person's weight. In fact, calling someone "fatty" is considered a term of affection. I think some people see a woman of childbearing age, then a belly and the automatic thought is "she must be pregnant". I can't ever imagine myself exclaiming that someone must be pregnant unless I was absolutely sure but I guess I must be from more of the "think before you speak" ilk.
ReplyDeleteUgh. I wanted to cry! I am totally a think before you speak type of person. I just wouldn't do it.
