I can relate… please don’t touch or annoy me or call me “fat” or ask if I’m pregnant at work. Respect.
Girl.... I once had a subordinate at work ask me if I was expecting. I was bloated and standing with my stomach out kind of holding my hand on my hip. She felt terrible when I said "nope, just fat..." I never held it against her in any way, but didn't feel good for sure.
Why anyone asks anyone this for any reason I cannot fathom.
Don’t ask until you can see the baby crowning… even then wait until the birth announcement for good measure.
Is that a baby coming out...? You know what, nevermind...
The awkward exception to this is asking if a person wants your seat on a bus or subway.
