tell me i'm over reacting...

Please tell me to get a grip! I'm 8 months pg and went to a work-related do at a bar this evening. The place was large and airy and I knew it would be fine. I also knew I'd be hungry so as soon as I got there, I ordered a pizza, even though others weren't eating. When it arrived, I asked a friend I was chatting to if she wanted a slice, and then was happily eating the rest when a guy I don't know all that well (but does know I'm pregnant) zoomed over and asked if he could have some. I said okay, but bear in mind its my dinner. He proceeded to demolish over half of it, leaving me to grab at least a few slices. He then sat next to me waving a cigarette near my face even though I asked him a few times to move it. He didn't even offer me any money for the pizza! I was having a lovely time (it is one of teh few evenings I had energy to go out!), but after feeling so hungry, and having smoke waved in my face, I had to leave early even though I really wanted to stay as it was a good chance to catch up with people before I go off on maternity leave. So I'm home now, hungry, upset and my husband's away and I don't have the energy to make myself something. I'm not in the UK - instead in a country that doesn't do takeaways. Please tell me its all not such a big deal! Or that he's an idiot.

It was a big deal - he invaded your space ( and your Pizza ) - sounds like an arrogant dick to me .... ( tell me I'm over reacting )

what a thoughtless arse!

make yourself something nice and comforting to eat, have a bath and an early night.

stitch · 16/02/2006 20:22

it is a big deal. he was rude and thought less. tbh the fact that you are pregnant is secondary.
maybe you should have said something cutting to him?

morocco · 16/02/2006 20:23

omg
taking food from a pregnant lady is a pretty dangerous thing to do!!!
poor you - next time, you better order 2 pizzas!
poor poor you in a world without takeaways (where is that???)

moondog · 16/02/2006 20:24

It's not a big deal.
Believe me,there will be soooooo much more to worry about very soon.
He was probably pissed.

Thank you for those responses - they were just what I was hoping for . I was close to tears actually as I've been hungry all day today and yesterday and the city I live in has had power cuts and water shortages etc its been really hard to sort out food. I just thought that if I said any more than I did, I would cry, which I didn't want to do in front of people I know professionally.

Also, the guy in question is a bit of a waste of space generally. And I think he was stoned, not pissed moondog. . okay off to make a sandwich and go to bed. Thanks for the sympathy.

Hey oranges,you're not in eastern Turkey are you?? The bit about leccy and water probs sounds familiar!!
Sorry,didn't mean to be unkind.Just have learnt to disregard the behaviour (my own included) of anyone under the influence.

No, Kenya. You weren't being rude moondog- you just said what I know deep down. I see people here genuinely struggle for food all the time and I know how trivial my complaint was.
I just wanted to vent, that's all. Feel better already.

That is so rude!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would never ask someone for some of their pizza especially of they bought it in a bar - not cheap!

Maybe i would if the pizza belonged to my friend but even then i would then break a piece off one of the slices but if i was hungry i would go and buy my bloody own!

And anyway your heavily pregnant - WHAT A GREEDY TIGHT IDIOT!!!!

Poor you!

lovecloud · 16/02/2006 20:43

i would have bit his hand off - everyone knows how important food is to me right now

sniff · 16/02/2006 21:36

hes an idiot

hockeymum · 17/02/2006 09:05

Oranges - did you make a decision about whether to come back to the uk for the birth - I'd forgotten your user name till now, but I remember we had a discussion about your mum living in Radyr and thinking you might come back to the Heath for the birth. What did you decide?

Sorry about the arrogant and ignorant idiot in the bar, hope you got your anger vented. If he'd tried to take my pizza, I'd have chopped off his hand with the fork! pregnancy hormones - moi?

Bless, hockeymum, thank you for remembering me! Yes I am coming back to the UK in a few weeks but am going back to my old flat in London. I had thought I'd have to come home alone, and stay with my mum in Cardiff, but my husband's got a transfer so we can be together in London, and I'd much rather be in my own place. So now I'm looking at London hospitals instead! Thanks for all your input at the time - I remembered it, but had forgotton your username too.
