To be offended or flattered??

[discdiscsnap]

Went out for a meal tonight. I have a prolapsed disc and can't sit for prolonged periods. I got up a few times and walked up and down . Also rubbed my back.

End of the night our server said they normally offer shots but he figured I wouldn't want one and kind of gestured at me.
Took a few minutes but realised he thought I was pregnant.

I'm a size 14,I have a bit of a tum but not massive I was in a very loose fitting dress though.

I am also nearly 50😂

Should I be flattered I look young enough to be pregnant or offended I might be big enough to look pregnant? 😂😂

Meh, neither, it was just a mistake!

Did you do the duck walk too while you were rubbing your back? May have been the confusing factor in there!

sorry op 😆 hope you recover soon though

I'd take it as a win.

Yeah my walk is a bit waddle like

I’d be offended to be honest. Sorry op.

Offended.

I would choose to be flattered 😁Edited tosay, I'm over the moon if the pharmacy staff ask if there is any chance that I could be pregnant (56).

It's probably more the getting up to walk/holding your back which made him think that. I'm sure you don't look pregnant and if any thing yes take it as a compliment! 🤣

I did need to get up to walk around a lot when I was pregnant and did rub my back. Maybe it was your behaviour rather than appearance that made them think you were pregnant.

Be neither. Be indulgent to a young man who is surely going to get into deep trouble soon for making tactless comments to customers.

To be honest I'm more surprised I definitely feel I look too old to possibly be pregnant

Yes

Most people cannot accurately guess an age within 5 years either side. Hence why I’d be offended, he didn’t think you looked young, he thought you looked pregnant.

Flattered more than insulted...especially as you had a loose top on.
He probably thought you were pregnant because of your actions rather than the size of your belly.

With IVF increasingly being used, it doesn't mean that he thinks you are young enough to get pregnant naturally. I'm I wouldn't care either way.
