To think my breasts are not a public topic?

[tessofthedurbervilles]

I friend I used to work with, who still works at the same place with the same people, and I were chatting a while ago and as I am 6 months pg I joked that if my boobs sag I would get them done when I could afford it.
Saw her saturday and she said 'I said to all the girls at work that you were going to have your tits lifted and anything you had left over I would have ha ha ha'
I am f*cking mortified.....that kind of conversation is private and not to be shared to anyone who will listen. Or am I just being over sensitive?!
I really want to put her in her place but not sure if there is much point...

Not much point. Bit daft of her, but not worth getting rattled about. I'd let it go.

I don't think I can, I am the sort of person who has to say something and I am really peed off about it....rightly or wrongly I don't know!

Any ideas on how I can get my point across without sounding hysterical or daft?!

If you have to say something - and I'd still say let it go and save your energy for something more important - say "Look, I'm sure you didn't mean it, but I'm actually quite embarrassed that you talked about me and my body, etc to a whole office full of people - it makes me quite uncomfortable."

errrr...

you started it

.... and you are now discussing it with total strangers on the internet!

I was having a private conversation with a friend...not to be repeated or recounted in front of an office of random people.

And nobody knows me on here. Getting a different perspective from people who don't know me or are unlikely to meet me is different from an office of people who know me.

It doesn't matter. Let it go.

get over yourself tess, its not the end of the world

you discussed your tits with a "friend" who has a bit of a flappy gob, no biggie

unless you told her to keep your comments strictly to herself (and why would you?), then of course you risk her repeating them

I'm sure she didn't do it maliciously, she probably just wants to be your friend

IMHO I do think you're being a bit over sensitive and I honestly can't see what the big deal is.
You haven't booked to have the procedure done and it may not even be something that you end up having.

It does seem strange to talk about putting your friend "in her place" really.

I would think this post was one of the juvenile wind-ups from yesterday if I didn't know better

I worked in a very male environment and a male colleague told me I had a blue vein in my t*t and could I put some make up over it!! I wasn't even wearing a low-cut top. But that vein was a beacon throughout my pregnancy for some reason. It throbbed bright blue. SO embarrassing.

Anyfucker-I was also thinking the same.

'in her place' was wrong choice of words...just to point out that just because she is open and confident about body issues does not mean everyone else is. I guess I am the one with the problem and I hope nobody was laughing about it I just felt mortified but no idea how to raise it with her.

if you do raise it with her, then people really will point and laugh at you

YABU. it's just a joke. i'm sure they don't think you're really booked in for a boob job.

Nope, can't see the problem. It's hardly an embarrassing procedure, it's a boob job, loads of people have them but if you're embarrassed about it why talk about it, just do it! I think you are pregnant and your hormones are getting you in a tizz. FWIW, I was a complete mess at 6 months pg, got wound up about all sorts of crap. Let this go, it's rubbish.
