I inserted my foot into my mouth today!
Went shopping...there was this petite girl working there. I liked her yellow maternity top and I told her so. She told me she wasn't pregnant. She looked about 7 months to me. I'm going to stay home the rest of the day:blush: :hide: :blush:

1. Unless you SEE the baby crowning and the woman screaming
her head off... Never assume a woman is pregnant.

I feel ya, baby!

2. Haha, there's a commercial where that happened.
Edited on Sat May-07-05 03:32 PM by truthbetold
A woman pats this other girl's stomach and asks her if it's a boy or a girl. The woman gets very indignant and says, "I'm not pregnant!" The other woman looks mortified then says, "Thank you?" and the "pregnant" woman gets all happy and hugs her.
I know it doesn't sound like it makes sense, but it was for some credit card company or something.

3. It's happened to me before where I've seen a woman who looked
Pregnant, but on closer inspection probably wasn't.

I've never said anything to them tho, saving me a moment of embarrassment.

4. Once while giving chair massages at a business
I had a person pat my tummy and ask "is there anything you want to tell us?" to which I replied "yes, I'm getting fat". Rule #2-never ever ever ever ever touch a woman's abdomen without her permission, whether she is pregnant or not.

No, you don't massage the chair.

9. I've been tempted to say something to a mom I often see
She looks like she's going to have a baby any day now. I just can't be sure though so I've avoided saying anything to her.

Sorry about your fumble ... could have happened to anyone though :) (and you're not the first or last person it will happen to).
