I am going to keep a running list here of the comments I receive throughout the day. I am 27 weeks pregnant which apparently is an open invitation for people to comment just ridiculously rude, f'd up comments. So here we go.
"Wow you look ready!! You sure you aren't having twins?"
--after another pregnant lady brought her attention to how rude this comment actually was she came over to apologize: "I'm sorry if I said anything to offend you, I feel like I just put my foot in my mouth"
--What I wanted to say: Yeah I have no idea why you think asking someone if they were sure they weren't having twins would be offensive.. dumb ass.
--Instead I said in a rather abrupt tone: Yeah, don't ever say that to a pregnant person.
"You just keep on growing!"
"Well Allison we just got you some exercise!" (followed by a slap on the back) - in reference to having to walk down 12 flights of stairs for a fire alarm.
"Man you have really grown a lot since I last saw you"
me - wow, yes thank you for pointing that out (sacastically)
man after 15 sec pause - but when I looked at you from the back I couldn't even tell!
"Looks like you just keep growing the family" - large rounding stomach gesture with the hands
"CONGRATULATIONS (shouting) on being pregnant. I didn't want to say anything until I was for sure." (I am 27 weeks along mind you.)

Hahaha. People are so rude sometimes! It's usually just dumb strangers who somehow feel compelled to comment on your size. Ridiculous. However...
My Dad is actually one of the people guilty of this. When I was pregnant, he would come over to visit once every couple of weeks. Starting at around 30 weeks, he would say, "WOW, you're HUGE! You just can't get ANY BIGGER than that!" This always would infuriate me. OF COURSE I was going to get bigger. Every time he made this comment, I would explain, "Dad, you really don't get it do you? First, NEVER say this to a pregnant person. Second, yes, OF COURSE I'm going to get bigger. I'm pregnant. I'm gaining at least 1 pound a week from this point on!" But he still acted shocked each time he'd see me. Grrrrrr.
