Today, I'm 8 months pregnant and still waitressing at a local restaurant. There were only 3 of us serving today and things were hectic. One guy bitched me out, saying "Maybe if you lost some weight you'd walk a little faster!" because I wasn't fast enough with his soup. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I got fired as a waiter because I refused to serve alcohol to a pregnant woman and she reported me. Turns out she's not pregnant, she's just a fat Karen. FML
Today, my obnoxious mother-in-law berated me in front of my husband's family for still working while pregnant. She says I'm harming the baby by not quitting. I'm only four months pregnant and I work as a nurse at a hospital. FML
Today, my husband wants me to apologize for getting angry when his father told me I'm getting so fat that I look like a whale. I'm not fat, I'm just 8 months pregnant. FML
Today, the slow, incompetent kitchen staff was keeping customers waiting for their food for 20 minutes. I got sick of a bunch of grown adults with kids my age ganging up on me, so I quit on the spot, and walked. Some guy grabbed me by the collar and dragged me back to the register. People cheered. FML
Today, a customer greeted me with, "So! When's the baby coming!?" I'm NOT pregnant. I just gain weight in my guts. FML
Today, I visited my old job to pick up some paperwork. Since leaving over a year ago, I’ve lost over 60lbs, but I’m currently 6 months pregnant. Not a single person believed that I'm pregnant. FML
Today, I attended my husband's holiday brunch at a company I also used to work for. I was excited to see former coworkers until one raced up, grabbed my belly, and in front of a crowded room, exclaimed, "You're pregnant!" Nope, just older and a bit fatter. FML
Today, I was food shamed by my boyfriend in front of an entire restaurant and his parents because my meal cost more than his. His mom chimed in saying her meal usually costs more than his step dad's too and not to be upset. I'm 8 months pregnant, of course mine costs more. FML
Today, I dragged my son along with me to a work party because I didn't want him home by himself. Halfway through, he stood up and made an announcement about my pregnancy. I had to explain to all my coworkers and my boss that I'm not pregnant, I'm just fat. FML
Today, I was walking through the mall with my husband. We came across a guy who was selling some weight loss pills. He tried to sell me some and I kindly declined. He told me not to deny my weight problems. Thanks. I'm 7 months pregnant. FML

should have tipped his soup all over him for being a *******

I would have used it as an excuse to break down crying and make a scene embarrassing the **** out of him. Hormones right? BTW, for folks saying to "accidentally" spill soup in his lap, you guys realize soup is suppose to be hot right? And even if it wasn't enough to actually burn him, he would still threaten to sue and OP probably would have lost her job.

Congrats on your pregnancy! People can be such asses! Brush it off, hopefully he left a decent tip and wasn't an all around doucher.

Actually my manager gave him a discount and still didn't even leave enough money for his bill so I had to take it out of the little bit I made that day

I would move back in with my parents before I worked another day in a restaurant that would allow a customer to speak to me like that, then discount HIS bill. I've had to tell people a couple times that if they can't treat my employees with basic civility we don't need their business. Luckily, it's very rare, but if your manager won't stand up for you when a customer is so over-the-top rude they don't deserve to be a manager.

Are you serious???? Purposely fall to prove a point and risk injury to the baby???? Yes, the guy was a total dick, but that's no reason to hurt yourself and possibly the baby!!! You're insane!!!!

Three words: Soup. In. Lap. What an a-hole!

No better yet, don't drop his soup in his lap. Instead turn around, head back to the kitchen with his soup, then tell him we're all out of soup. Sorry. ? Who cares if he saw you with it. He clearly saw your pregnant too. **** him.

Too bad you couldn't just dump the soup in his lap. Let's see how fast he runs howling with pain
