Overheared. Exact Quote. No lie.
As I walked into The Pop Shop today to get my breakfast *of pancakes the size of friggin hubcaps with straberries on top* with the ever adorable Maggie, I heard a woman yelling at the manager.

I didn't particularly care. Hadn't had my coffee yet and besides, you know me. When have I ever given a crap what customers do?

"I'm pregnant! I should get my way! Why can't anyone give me what I want?!"

I had to turn and look. I thought it was someone being stupid and possibly mocking pregnant women or atleast a particular pregnant woman. Nope. It was a woman about my age *i'm 26* with a large belly that made me fear for suddenly soaked shoes, red in the face and pounding her fists on the counter.

In true becka_mouse form I waddled up with my 6 month pregnant self, tapped her on the shoulder and said "Excuse me. Couldn't help but overhear you and...I'm pregnant, too. Whats your point?"

I was met with icy glare of doom. That was met with eyebrow raise of "Don't give a shit." She left shortly thereafter and I got free coffee.

But, seriously, what the everliving fuck?

Good for you! I hate when pregnant women use that as an I-should-get-everything-I-want card. So you opened your legs. Good for you. :/ I would've NEVER thought to do that while pregnant. I don't see why anyone thinks this deserves special treatment*.

Congrats on the pregnancy. :)

*I do believe that pregnant women have more right to sit on buses and whatnot than, say, teenagers and young men or whatever. But I don't think it entitles them to free coffee/soda/food or drink of choice.

	I do believe that pregnant women have more right to sit on buses and whatnot than, say, teenagers and young men or whatever. One person's need is not another's obligation. If someone chose to be pregnant, why should they get special treatment for it? (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	No, but there is such a thing called common courtesy. Oh wait, I believe that got buried next to her husband, Common Sense. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	It's human decency. They don't HAVE to move, but it would be polite to. Standing while pregnant isn't exactly fun. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	Some women are just absolute wusses or dramawhores. I really think this woman was both. Its preggo-entitlemoos like her that make the strong woman blossoming with life! RARR! types look horrifying. I'll be honest even after I had my first baby whenever a pregnant woman walked into where I worked, I pheared teh hormonalcrazies. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Incidentally, so you know...this post is BEGGING for CF wank. Just warning you. Might want to turn off your email notifications :D (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I really don't see how it is. I'm pretty sure all the bases were covered. Sucky customer = pwnd by a fellow pregnant woman. Which goes to show not everyone who is pregnant or has kids is a complete ninny. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	CF_Wank is easily defused, just throw a friggin puppy in for a distraction. Which would make this comment meta-cf-wank. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	Why on earth would this start CF wank? Pregnant EB gets pwned by pregnant woman. The pregancies cancel each other out, and the equation is resolved into "EB gets pwned". Which everyone and their pet squirrel loves. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	Its the best feeling. Too bad the local indoor pool is closed. Repairs. And they heated the pool, too. God what a feeling. (Reply to this)

	Thanks. I'm the only female in my family with a set of hypothetical balls. The others are..well...like the EBs in my posts. Oh! Maybe a part of me is getting back at all their EBness by pwning EBs I don't know? (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	I witnessed a woman with a 3 year old in a pushchair harassing the driver of a bus I was on because he wouldn't let her get on with the kid in the buggy. Why? Because both of the spaces at the front of the bus had wheelchairs in. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	I had just opened an email from the Pop Shop about 5 minutes before I read this post. Now I'm doubly hungry! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	My mom would have laughed her ass off at that woman. She always told me pregnancy has it's bad days, but it certainly doesn't make you the princess of everything. (Reply to this)
