I just dodged a huge bullet. I was at the bank and asked the teller what's new. she said nothing and I replied you look rounder, are you pregnant?

She said yes and the teller next to her said

WHATT?????

it seems Kristen was gonna tell her co-workers [who did not notice the 20 pound gain] Monday.

I stupidly asked a woman if she was pregnant ... once. - zork Sep 14, 12:25 7
- You shouldn't ask me that question, Johnny. Someone asked me that question once. ONCE. -- nm - Donna Vermin Sep 14, 12:38
- asking is she is pregnant can be risky, but stating she looks rounder is just plain foolish. either way you just made a remark about her figure that - dogbert Sep 14, 12:28 5
  - yeah, if you are doing something like this, at least use the word voluptuous - zork Sep 14, 12:33 4
    - always use glowing, you cannot go wrong with that. it's a complement if she's pregnant or not, and a woman will *get* why you would then ask if she's - dogbert Sep 14, 12:38 3
      - You have to ask women if they're pregnant in your job. Is that how you ease into it? ;) -- nm - the liioulu with insects Sep 14, 12:47 2
        
        last menstrual period? they then offer if they are or aren't. "how can we help?" if I'm thinking someone is in labor but I'm not 100% sure -- nm - dogbert Sep 14, 12:54 1
        
        yup, I wouldn't ask a woman even if she looked like she was shoplifting watermellons -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 14, 13:14
what is more dangerous to say? 1: you look rounder. 2: wanna share needles? -- nm - dogbert Sep 14, 12:24
Dude. That is a comment I would *never* say. -- nm - Spawn Sep 14, 12:11 6
- if you saw her, there was no question about being pregnant -- nm - peglegpete Sep 14, 12:13 5
  - If her co workers could not see it... -- nm - Spawn Sep 14, 12:58
  - Unless you can see the baby coming out, *never* ask this. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 14, 12:50 2
    - And perhaps even then -- nm - JD Sep 14, 13:51 1
      - "Just to make sure, you're aware there is a child coming out of you at present time, correct?" -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 14, 14:16
  - There's an infographic about this, maybe someone can find the link. :-) -- nm - Beryllium Sep 14, 12:15
wow, you brave -- nm - bruford Sep 14, 12:11 1
