I was grabbing some breakfast in a cafe this morning on the way to work, nothing fancy, just a pot of fruit, toast and a poached egg. I was buttering my toast when a woman looked over my shoulder and said 'Oh that looks healthy' in quite a flat tone.
Now, I'm a size 20, and I'm also 6 months pregnant so currently the size and shape of an upright Shetland Pony and probably a bit over sensitive. I HATE people commenting on my food and what I eat because I've had it all my life and I did see red a bit but tried to stay polite.
I said 'oh.. thanks. I'm pregnant so don't care if it's healthy or not at the moment frankly!'.
She made some 'oh! right!' noises and I walked off.
She then followed me outside and across the carpark shouted 'EXCUSE ME! Just so you know I wasnt being sarcastic, it really did look healthy!!'
I was mortified, but just smiled and shouted back 'Oh it's ok honestly! Have a good day!' and disappeared.
Now I'm sitting with it and wondering if I was awful?? At the same time who comments on a random strangers food like that??
YABU - I was rude and over sensitive
YANBU - She shouldnt have commented on your food
