I'm not sure where the last 6 months have gone, but to make up for it, I give you this story. Fortunately for me, this happened to a co-worker of mine. She gave me permission to share it.
In her own words, this is how the conversation went...
Patron: Suzy...you pregnant?
Me: Um, no ma'am.
Patron: Well, you must just be bloated today. How old are you?
Me: Uh, 30.
Patron: Well, you have 5 years 'til those eggs dry up.
Me: Oh. Uh, ok. Thanks... and have a nice day?!?!
Rule of thumb: never ask a girl if she's pregnant and DEFINITELY don't follow it up with another insinuation that she looks fat--this is not a good cover-up strategy.

Yikes! Patron sounds a little bitter, or menopausal perhaps...or married to someone who is. ;)
ReplyDeleteI think your friend deserves a pedicure as a work-related expense. It's good for the soul :)
