Today, while shopping for clothes, I asked the assistant to recommend something for me. She took me to the maternity section. Thanks, but I'm not pregnant. FML

Today, I went to Seattle with my mom to visit my pregnant sister, only to end up being dragged to a store to buy maternity clothes. The saleswoman apologized to me repeatedly for not having a lounge for the fathers, but congratulated me on the baby. I'm a girl. FML

Today, I went shopping at a thrift store. I found a really cute top that fit me perfectly, so I bought it. Afterwards, I noticed the original tag was still on it. It read: "designed with your pregnancy in mind". It was a maternity top. FML

Today, while shopping in the baby department at a local department store, a woman approached me asking when I was due. I told her that I was due in 4 months. I lied. I'm not pregnant. 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

Today, I was carrying some bags out of a store, and my shirt had scooted up a little. I had no free hands, so I ignored it. A woman stopped me to tell me that bare midriffs are only attractive on skinny girls, "not fat ones." I'm 6 months pregnant. FML

Today, I was at Aéropostale with some friends when I noticed a woman glaring at me. When we got to the checkout, the woman still had her eyes on me, so I asked why she was staring. She snapped, "If you had kept your legs closed, you wouldn't be pregnant." I'm not pregnant. FML

Today, I had to bite the bullet and finally buy maternity pants. Problem is, I'm not pregnant and I'm a 25-year-old man. FML

Hmm. Free and honest advice comes in all forms. Perhaps this is a sign? ;p Either way, I imagine that didn't make you feel good about yourself. Sorry Op.

....So that they can tell you that you look good in that moo-moo because they don't want to hurt your feelings? ;p May not be the best plan.

I hope you are female. I mean, that would be bad enough, but if you were a dude ... Yikes!

#14 Tell me again, how a guy gets pregnant?

#24, didn't mean to confuse you, young man. A man cannot become pregnant, but if store staff thinks he looks like a pregnant lady, accidental insults from strangers are probably the least of his problems.

#24, although a male cannot become pregnant, they have a small undeveloped uterus within the groin area. If they were to have evolved farther, they would be able to reproduce like females can.

There is only one time it is appropriate to comment on a woman's pregnancy: when you can see the baby's head

That is harsh. I bet you never go back there!

Well, the SA was pretty stupid to take you to the maternity section... You never assume a woman is pregnant. She should have asked you your size and taken you to the appropriate department.
