@Espion: I should have just asked him what brand of garden hose he preferred
-
@BananaPancakes: Haha, I asked a girl at work once (I was too young to know better) because she was leaning against a desk and 'lovingly' rubbing her belly. She said "Ugh, NO! Why do people always ask me this?!" I told her, "Um, you're rubbing your belly..." She didn't know that was a 'pregnant' thing, and it was a habit of hers.
-
@swurlygurl: Ha ha. I think I stand with my hand on my hip a lot, and i guess that's just not allowed unless you're pregnant. God forbid I have my hand on my hip and a loose shirt on.

I was asked once recently and I was like "Ummm... my baby is 10 months old. I'm not pregnant" and swore I would have a snappy comeback next time someone asked me.
A week later, I had a patient ask me a question that sounded just like "When are you due?" I said "You know, thats an extremely rude question to ask someone. I am not pregnant." She looked at me wide eyed, blinked, and said "I asked you 'What do I do?' I don't know how to fill out this paperwork." I could have crawled in a hole and died

As someone who has seen many pics of you over the last couple of days, you do NOT look pregnant. Like, at all.
-
@grizz: opps!!
-
If you really want them to feel bad and make it super awkward, just tell them "no, I'm just fat"
-
@grizz: A safe(ish) reply . . . *asphinctersayswhat?*

@Mrs.Panda: Bwahahahaha!!! That story made my day!
I recently asked...but in my defense, it was someone I know, but hadn't seen in a while. And she's late in her 2nd trimester. I phrased it as, "I know I should never ask, but..." I have not been mistaken for being pregnant...but I do have folks all up in my business, which was especially hard when I *was* pregnant, then miscarried.

@MUI831: That's my favorite reply to that question!
-
I probably wouldn't have had words and just turned bright pink
-
The priest who performed my wedding asked my NOT pregnant matron of honor during my rehearsal...she was not amused! In all fairness though, she has a chronic medical issue and I had made a big deal about getting her a chair to sit in if necessary during our hour long ceremony. Apparently only pregnant ladies need a chair, according to my priest!
-
I say no, had a baby 2 years ago.
-
Oh god no one has ever asked me.. but I think I would burst into tears (I have a 7 week old and am very tired.. tears come easily
)
-
I was congratulated on my "little one on the way" the other day. And I wanted to cry -- not pregnant! I said, "what? nope, not pregnant. just fat." She got pretty embarrassed, but serves her right.
-
@HLK208: I had a lady today ask if it was twins. When I told her no, she actually asked how much weight I had gained!!!!
@autumnlove: I can't believe you went along with it. I would have flipped.
-
@looch: I made friends with a environmental specialist in the security line. He told me that his wife is expecting soon so he was headed home (from a job in Louisiana) for a few weeks of time off to help with his 4 kids. He asked me about my due date and if I had any kids at home!
-
@grizz: oh no!!!
ooops!
-
@junebugmama:
SO.WRONG.
-
I've been asked more times than I care to admit. If they were nice about it I said "no". If they were rude, I said "no I'm just fat." If my students asked I used it as a teaching moment!
-
People are so rude. My plan is once I'm pregnant, if people ask, I will play dumb/"Wow, I knew I had put on weight, but I didn't realize it was so obvious," or something like that. Maybe that will teach them.
ooops!
SO.WRONG.
