My brother did the same thing, but for some crazy reason needles don't bother me. I'm terribly afraid of heights though. <br /><br />I once had a nun ask me if I was pregnant.

This certainly isn't as bad as yours but I have a co-worker who often says things like, "is that a new (insert item of clothing or haircut)?" Me, "yes". Co-worker, "do you like it?"

I have never asked anyone if they were pregnant and I don't plan to start now. <br /><br />My grandmother is notorious for some of the rudest comments I've ever heard and we will just blame part of that on her being old, senile, and uncensored. She loved to make comments about how her side of the family had a tendency to "have a belly" and I seemed to favor her side of the family more and more as I got older. After awhile we all learned to just let it go when she said things like that.Suz and Allanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15703593542540533784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1336273598199876862.post-27580799033267326432013-08-01T17:18:47.377-04:002013-08-01T17:18:47.377-04:00Nothing I have to offer will be as hilarious as th...Nothing I have to offer will be as hilarious as the other comments. <br /><br />People are rude and stupid, I am not sure why they think it's ok to comment on other peoples' bodies.

I wish you would have said something really snarky back.<br />I'm pretty sure you should just never, ever ask a woman if she is pregnant. If she wants you to know, she will tell you. <br />People are always asking me when I'm moving back to Iowa (that's where my boyfriend lives) so I can get married and settle down. And raise children, because obviously that is what women should do. argh.

My grandma also called a couple weeks ago to tell me that she found a box of my college stuff in their garage (they lived 2 hours from my school so I stored stuff there). She said "there are some clothes in here...damn girl, you were huge!"<br /><br />My mom also told me that an appropriate diet was 900 calories a day. Sometimes I'm amazed that I'm normal. :) Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12415512134390374929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1336273598199876862.post-8746896943888102252013-08-01T11:00:03.878-04:002013-08-01T11:00:03.878-04:00Ahh I think the book version is so much worse!

I was sitting in the lounge at work talking to my friend about how much I HATED the name Crystal and how my husband had wanted to name our daughter Crystal Montana. I went on and on about how it sounded like a stripper name. She kept trying to redirect me to "yeah Montana is a stupid name for a kid" and I kept saying "right, but Crystal is a horrible name, who would name their kid that" all the while a Dr Knight was sitting there at the table with us not really getting in to the conversation, which was neither here nor there since I never work with her any way. Later I go back to work and my friend kicks me and reminds me Dr Knight's first name is CRYSTAL. I felt like a lame ass shit head and had to go grovel to her later about what a dumb ass I was and it really wasn't that bad of a name, I just didn't want it for my kid. She assured me it was fine and she happened to know Crystal Knight (her name) was really a stripper name for someone somewhere. I am pretty sure she hates me now though.Christy @ My Dirt Road Anthem: A Runner's Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05571125963317402377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1336273598199876862.post-4712960297778268372013-08-01T09:09:21.558-04:002013-08-01T09:09:21.558-04:00Ughh I'm sorry this happened to you.
