To think that THIS is being unreasonable?

Walking down the street today and bump into a member of staff at a restaurant we go to semi-regularly. She stops and rubs my belly and then says "how's baby? Can I touch?" WHILST touching my bump. Is this fine!?! I haven't experienced this before but I felt a little...violated? (can't think of a better word) I feel like this is unreasonable and I was too shocked/didn't want to be rude so I just mumbled a response and walked off - what do people do in this scenario?

You have to go full British (even if you're not British).

Tight smile and a little nod. Hopefully they'll go away.

No one ever touched my bump. I must have 'Fuck Off' vibes.

It is quite unreasonable but it could have been worse - you could have NOT been pregnant.

Grab her tits and say oh, are these real? Can I touch? What a twat.

I wouldn't ever do this, because your pregnancy means nothing to me, so I really wouldn't care.

I instinctively slap peoples hands away

JenBarber I think I have fuck off vibes too. Even chuggers don't stop me in the street.

Completely unreasonable of her! I've had the same thing from relative strangers but also feel really uncomfortable when people I know better do it. Haven't mastered how to handle it yet as it's always well intentioned but people just don't think how weird it is for the woman attached to the bump!

Ok good, I am feeling justified in my annoyance/surprise!

This is a weird comment - obviously it means nothing to you, we don't know each other
