And...
He walked in, introduced himself... and then...
He asked if I was pregnant!
WHAT?!
I laughed nervously and said "Nope! My shirt is blousy...If I AM pregnant, that'd be pretty crazy news for me AND my boyfriend.." and laughed it off. (There are so many times in life I feel like Meg Ryan in You've Got Mail when she wishes mean, insulting things just rolled off her tongue in moments like this).
He didnt laugh.
OR apologize. (Granted, if he had fallen over himself apologizing, it probably would have been more awkward)
Meeting continued and I moved past it. He made some other comments that were a little "off" and I started to realize maybe he's just kinda strange...
We started talking about doughnuts (Don't ask; it was irrelevant).
And he asked (directed at me) "You probably really like dougnuts... right? I mean... I bet so!"
What the?!
And um... this is what I'm wearing today... Granted, I buttoned my little cardigan after that interchange b/c my silky, blousy shirt was obviously not doing me any favors....haha! (Please ignore my I-slept-in-today-and-put my-hair-in-a-ponytail hair)

| blousy shirt I'm never wearing again (LOL!), pink cardigan, and skinny black pants |
Some people are so inappropriate!
I wish you could have heard the not so classy thoughts in my mind, despite the classy way I laughed it all off.
(And no, I totally don't think I look preggo at all, so no worries there. I think he was just wildly rude. But, seriously. This girl needs a large cocktail after work today. Gawd).
On another note, I've been doing this whole thing where I am in bed, lights off, by 10 this week. *sound of mental applause for myself* Just trying to get some quality sleep. :) Sooooo I'm slacking in the blog world b/c I'm often a commenting fool from around 10-11pm most weeks. Need to play catch up on the bloggidies asap!

Oh my goodness what was they guy smoking?!?! ha ha - you definitely don't look pregnant and your outfit looks super cute me!
I too am sporting ponytail today. I woke up at 7:30 this morning and have to be in to work at 8. It's been one of those days!
I cannot believe that guy said that to you. What a dummy. You deserve a gigantic cocktail! WITH alcohol...since you're not preg. ha!
I think that outfit looks awesome on you!! Some people are so rude and ridiculous. One foot-in-mouth comment, hmm okay maybe I'll let it slide. But the random donut comment, too? Seriously?
Hope you have a relaxing evening! :)
wow that makes absolutely no sense! I guess some men don't "get" fashion and just think you're wearing a flowy top= your pregnant, obviously. what a weirdo!
what a ding-a-ling. EVEN if he did think you look pregnant you should NEVER ask someone that unless you know for sure (i.e chekc out my latest bump pictures, totally acceptable to ask me).
In the words of Stephanie Tanner "How Rude!"
That is the craziest story and I honestly cannot believe that happened! You are teeny tiny and do not look even remotely preggo. Seriosuly...what a weirdo...for real. Weird.Weird.Weird. Could you image if you asked him something like, "oh, are you balding?". Grrr!
Anyways...have a fabulous drink or two tonight, but mostly because you are HOT, FABULOUS and SKINNY!!
OMG! I hate stupid people! Even more, I hate stupid people who say stupid things. Why in the world would anyone find that appropriate to say? I actually think you look really cute today, and don't think that anything you have on is unflattering!
That is just plain rude! I don't think the majority of people even know that you don't ask a woman if she's pregnant unless A: she says something about it or B: the head is crowning. You are a skinny minnie and that is just crazy that he said that to you!
Thank goodness tomorrow is Friday!!
LOL! What the %^$#?! Craziness....I was MAYBE that skinny the first two weeks of my pregnancy...but seriously?!? YOU DON'T LOOK PREGGO! That guy definitely smoked something before that meeting....
OMG! What the heck is right!! You are such a beautiful little bitty thing! :) Go enjoy that cocktail tonight lady, you've earned it! xoxo
I have no words. Who does that? Umm, you are about as far from pregnant looking as one can, get my dear. Props to you for NOT drop kicking him. And donuts? WTF?
What the FREAK??? In no possible way do you look pregnant. What an ass!
Omg what the... you look teeny tiny! MEN!!
OMG what a weirdo! Who acts like that?! You do not look pregnant at all. Some people are just crazy.
offensive!! you look perfectly UN-pregnant!!! get a drink asap.
Wow. That guy was on something, for sure. You look great!
WTH??? You are sooo much nicer than me. I'm not sure I could have held back, especially after the doughnut comment. Dude. Really??
Jackass.
Enjoy your drinky drink!
What a weirdo! Even if you looked pregnant (which you obviously do NOT) why would he ask you that?! That guy must be missing something upstairs...
You would definitely be one hot pregnant mama though! :)
That guy knew exactly what he was doing, and he probably makes a game out of it...tossing emotionally abusive comments out to attractive women. Sounds like he is a mentally unhealthy, insecure asshole. You look great, as always.
OMG, you are so cute and so not preggo! What a oddball!!
oh, that is ridic! You are tiny!
Omg. Seriously a weirdo. I have seen you- there is no way you are like the tiniest person ever!!!
OMG what a DUMMY!!! You do not look remotely pregnant! You have an awesome body and obviously that guy was blind. Ugh - stupid people!
love your blog! cute you are so cute and i am your newest follower. what a jerk to not even apologize to you for his comment, geesh, so rude! meg
sadly this has happen to me too! awkward (for everyone involved). people really can be forward and rude without knowing it.
drink-up, it's happy hour!
People can be so clueless sometimes!! So many of my friends and I have had the SAME experience... boo to the socially inept!
What!??! So rude!! Luckily, I am very good at comebacks! I usually end up insulting them, but make it sound like a joke... :) It's my superpower!
I have been away for a week and my goodness I missed a lot .... umm weird dude, you look incredible. AND not preg!
that was probably his way of flirting with you. I know a couple of assholes who would say something like that to get a rise out of a pretty girl!
And- girl, you do not look pregnant!!!
you look great!!
Go out and get yourself a cocktail or two.. because you're OBVIOUSLY not pregnant and can drink alcohol!
haha.
what a freakshow.
XOXO
moo
Wow, inappropriate! You should never bring that up unless you are SURE that they are pregnant. The nerve of some people!
Talk about awkward and inappropriate! I've been reading your blog for a while and never have I ever thought, "omg is she pregnant???"
Clearly that man is on drugs. And doesn't have a girlfriend/wife to teach him NOT to say those things.
What a douche. I have nothing more to say.
Oh my goodness I really do not know what to say. What an idiot
hahah you shoulda asked if he was sterile or something completely ridiculous too jeez
That guy must be single!! Who says that kind of stuff?!? Bahahahahaha!! And for the record, you are gah-geous!! That guy was a creep
what a JA. I wish you had had some form of alcohol at the meeting and could have knocked back a few shots and gotten obviously and beligerantly drunk right in front of him. (and then punch him in the face) :)
Shut up! I can't believe that really happened. And then you would think he would feel bad and not make another comment towards you...but he did! Well you look absolutely terrific so who knows about that guy. He probably thinks that is a hook-up line = )
Oh.My. Word. For real?! That guy sounds like a total jerk. I mean really... you look STICK thin! What a complete tool. Was he drunk!?!
That's a jack ass thing for that guy to do - makes me wonder what the meeting was about- I mean I don't expect you to disclose work business but was there a reason why this guy would have wanted you to feel "knocked down a peg" so that he could feel as though he were in a position of power? That's what this whole exchange sounds like to me. I know how you feel though - I work day in and day out with seniors, I'm a young married girl so anytime I wear anything that remotely blouse out over the belly I get asked if I'm pregnant- makes me feel like crap! You look awesome though that guy was a d bag!
OMG! That guy is crazy! haha I think you look super cute! AND NOT PREGGO! :)
