Ok, so I was in Tesco earlier and this complete idiotic stranger says to me "HA! That dress makes you look about 6 months pregnant!", It's a black maxi dress. I give him a great big beam, like this >> :o , and go "Awww really? Thanks! I thought it made me look about 9, but I'm only 7 and half months!". I know, I think it was meant to be an insult but it really didn't work. I only wish I'd had a camera ready to get his face, it was a mixture of ShockBlushHmmConfused

Unfortunately, no. Sometimes it is great to go back at someone with a cutting whiplash of a reply but equally, silence is golden, as the song goes!

Ha! Very funny :o

I had a work colleague who always used to tease me about not having a boyfriend. I eventually left that company (not because of him, that would be silly :o) and didn't see him for ages. Next time I saw him he said "still can't get anyone to shag you then eh?" His face was a picture when I told him I was married and 4 months pregnant :o

I find that people who deal it can't always take it.

Fantastic comeback!Grin

I often try to do something along the lines of the Winston Churchill thing.

He's just preparing you for when your child can talk and embarrass the hell out of you:

My son to him mum, aged 2 1/2 - in a shoe shop, stood next to a very fat woman, pointing at her "mummy - look at her - she's benormous!"

Cue mum turning all shades of red, and wishing the ground would swallow her.
