That friendship didn't last too long. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jellyfish#post-172494 Tue, 29 May 2012 16:10:44 +0000 Modern Daisy 172494@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Since when is it okay to comment on a woman's size - pregnant or not? It's so crude! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jellyfish#post-172487 Tue, 29 May 2012 16:08:50 +0000 mediagirl 172487@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Seriously, this is why I am avoiding people at all costs until this baby comes. I don't want to talk to anyone just in case they decide they want to sting you with something. Ugh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jellyfish#post-172485 Tue, 29 May 2012 16:06:51 +0000 Andrea 172485@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh! I can't imagine saying that to someone! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jellyfish#post-172482 Tue, 29 May 2012 16:04:48 +0000 sandy 172482@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Must have been in the book bc I only watched the movie and don't remember that. </p> <p>Women who are jellyfish are like frenemies!! I used to have girls like that in my life...hate running into them. Definitely makes me appreciate people who are supportive! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jellyfish#post-172450 Tue, 29 May 2012 15:30:59 +0000 littlebug 172450@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ah, ha, jellyfish! I can't stand the back-handed compliments. Like, dude, don't even bother complimenting me if you're just gonna mke me feel like crap about it. Rude. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jellyfish#post-172444 Tue, 29 May 2012 15:27:27 +0000 Mrs. Blue 172444@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's in the movie, too, I think! I hate "I'm complimenting you while secretly planning to cut you with a shiv" comments. Also, WHO says "hope you don't get too big"?!????!? Oh my geez.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jellyfish#post-172396 Tue, 29 May 2012 14:59:45 +0000 mrs. wagon 172396@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Anyone remember that scene in Bridget Jones's Diary when she describes the friend who is a Jellyfish? It might have only been in the book, not the movie. Anyway, it's a friend who approaches you and seems harmless, but then manages to make some sort of negative attack comment out of nowhere-- Jellyfish. </p> <p>I used to be totally oblivious to these people (usually women, in my experience) but now I can spot them from a mile away. Bumped into one this past weekend who asked nicely about my pregnancy and how far along I was, and after I answered about how we're getting close and we're excited, she stung immediately: "oh, but isn't this where it gets really uncomfortable for the whole rest of the time? Hope you don't get too big!" Jellyfish.</p> <p>I think some people are just used to asking questions and pointing out the negative. At least they make me appreciate the positive people so much more! </p>
