Today, I was grocery shopping with my older sister. An elderly couple passed, and the man pointed to my sister, saying, "She LOVES to eat." My sister is 7 months pregnant, and I had to spend the next hour comforting her as she bawled her eyes out because of an off-hand comment from a stranger. FML

Today, I told my daughter that she's going to be a big sister, because there is a baby growing in my tummy. She's been sobbing because I can't convince her that I didn't eat a baby. FML
Today, as I was just finishing my grocery shopping, a little girl and her mother walked past. Seeing the little girl staring at me, I waved. The girl then pointed to me and asked her mother "Mommy, is that man pregnant?" FML
Today, I was grocery shopping, feeling good about myself, until when I was waiting in line at the checkout, a small kid in his mother's arms in front turned to look straight at me and said, "Ewwwww." FML
Today, I took my wife and newborn baby girl home from the hospital. While waiting for the elevator, an elderly couple leaned over, saw our baby, and said, "Look, it's the fat kid that was in the nursery." My baby is six and a half pounds, and my wife hasn't stopped crying. FML
Today, my sister announced her pregnancy at my husband's funeral. FML
Today, a stranger at the grocery store rubbed my belly and asked me when I'm due. I'm not pregnant. FML
Today, my boyfriend told my four-year-old sister that "fatass" means "beautiful lady." I didn't know about this until I took my sister shopping with me. The woman at the till said she was adorable; my sister replied, "Thanks, fatass." FML
Today, at the supermarket, an old lady asked for directions to the produce aisle. Having read way too many stories lately on this very site about awful elderly folks, I was wary, but helped her out. She gave me an awkward hug in thanks, lifting my wallet in the process, as I later found out. FML
Today, I went to a restaurant with a girl I really liked. She started crying when an overweight family walked in and loudly sobbed about how the parents were "murdering" their children. This made the father of that family try to fight me. FML
Today, I saw a woman who I thought was pregnant on the bus. Trying to be nice, I offered her my seat and congratulated her. She wasn't pregnant, just holding a large bag of groceries. The entire bus heard me and the death glare she gave could’ve turned me to stone. FML

I probably would have said, "And you LOVE being an asshole. She's pregnant, **** off, you twat." But that's because I am awful at socialization and get vicious when people I care about are hurt.

Your sister is only temporarily fat, but that guy is permanently elderly ... until he drops dead, that is.

As a pregnant woman, that is an excellent come back. You may use it anytime

My retort: "and you don't have long to live. And with your attitude I doubt anyone will show up to the funeral."

The age old question has been answered: "What happens when the senile meet the hormonal?"

Wow, what a weak minded human being, to be that upset about something a total stranger says... Hopefully, for her sake, she never has to deal with an actual problem.

Say the person who only has the balls to insult said PREGNANT and hormonal woman while hiding behind the anonymity of the internet.

She's pregnant. You've obviously never dealt with a pregnant woman, but their hormones are super all over the place, she can't control her emotions or her reactions. And if the woman has pre-existing self image issues, being pregnant pretty much magnifies them by 100. My friend was pregnant, and she's doesn't have self image issues, but she still got upset the bigger she got, calling herself fat and all. It's the hormones. Lay off.

What an ass. Too bad neither of you said, "She's pregnant, you moron."

Okay, the man is REALLY ignorant. Pregnant bellies (esp. in the third trimester) and just plain fat bellies look way different.

In the end, it’s just too bad that a single comment on a woman’s body size has the potential to be so devastating. Because we are such a freaking superficial and misogynistic society we have women constantly fearing that they too will be written off as unworthy and disgusting because of a few pounds. I hate America sometimes
