When noticing my current pregnancy..." Was it planned?" Or "wow, that was fast!" My kids will iyh be over two years apart. We are very much not dysfunctional and I don't ask ppl for help, so where do ppl get off saying such a thing? Especially to my face!

Someone sitting next to me at a bar mitzvah asked me very intimate questions about my birth details. I don't just mean vag or c (though that too is a rather personal question) but did I tear, did I get any hemorrhoids, etc. I kept saying who wants to talk about that over lunch and she didn't get the hint and kept asking these crazy questions.

Someone recently told me that my sheital is horrible, she thinks I should throw it out and buy a new one. To make matters worse, she knows money is tight right now. I told her, no problem, you can buy me the new sheital.

LOL, you got off easy! I once went to a chassunah and was mistaken by the caterer for the mother of the chasson. He kept insisting that I was supposed to give him a check, and for a few minutes, I thought I was going to have to bring out my checkbook!

After my second late miscarriage (BH I have several already) a man said to me "x (number of kids I have) is plenty, otherwise you can't give them all personal time." My kids are not starved for attention or love at all, thank you.

Really not funny one:

I saw a team of ob’s and had one that I preferred. I lost the baby at six months gestational. When I went in for my postpartum check I was relieved to get the one I liked. The other one popped her head in and said, “I’m glad we’re not friends -- you have really bad luck.”

More acceptable one:

I was at a party in my early 20s and someone I didn’t know came up to me, looked at my hair and said, “I would kill my hairdresser.”

The funny thing is that my mom had trimmed my hair that day.

(I did not kill her, by the way)

wow sorry to read this, people can be so callous.

Girl 1 looking at girl 2: We don't have any friends that are non jews, it is not good to befriend non jews.
Girl 2 responding to girl one: What do you mean? we have smiling wife, she is a [gentile].. oh well she thinks she is not but she is a [gentile].
we were all sitting talking at a shabbos table, I am a giores.
I answered " Girl 2 you need to make peace with the fact that I am a Jew, stop calling me a [gentile]-ok? "

Disclaimer: I dont think the word [gentile] is degrading in any way, but the girl was never comfortable with me and my geirus probably because of her own Judaism related insecurities and issues. whatever it is... Rolling Eyes

I am reading this with my mouth open! Besides basic manners and etiquette of not talking about someone, especially in front of them, we have the extra mitzvah of welcoming a ger/giyors and taking special care not to hurt them!
I am amazed at your strength of character to realize it's her issues and insecurities but feel so embarressed on behalf of FFB jews, I just wanted to send you a hug and standing ovation!

While at work talking with a client she saw photos of my kids on my desk and questioned me about my work schedule and when I proceeded to tell her that I work full time she responded " wow.... So..... When are you their mother?".... I walked out of the room and asked one of my colleagues to take over that clients appointment so that I don't get fired for saying something nasty right back at her

When I got a new sheitel, someone commented that I look really beautiful. I told them that it was the first time I was wearing this new sheitel and she said "I was thinking to myself that you looked so beautiful and I never realized how pretty you are, but now I realize it was just the sheitel." Then she opened her mouth again to insert the other foot.

A week after I had a stillbirth, a woman who was going through a nasty divorce approached me in shul and said:

Woman: You had a miscarriage?

Me: Not exactly. I was in my third trimester. A stillbirth.

Woman: Oh, I'm sorry. But whatever, your husband is SO amazing, so nice, and so involved. You'll for sure be fine. Whatever, don't worry. You'll be fine.


Seriously...she used the word "whatever" (twice) in response to me saying I had a stillbirth.
