What were your biggest pregnancy surprises and pet peeves?
in Pregnancy ·
I had a moment today that actually ticked me off. I walked into a packed waiting room—almost every single seat was taken—and this woman had her purse sitting on the chair right next to her. She’s sitting there occupying two spots at once. Look, she’s pregnant, fine, but her handbag isn't exactly expecting a baby. It felt ridiculous having to ask if the seat was actually available, especially when any normal person would just keep their bag on their lap. When I did ask, she just told me it was free but didn't move an inch. So, I guess I just nudged her bag out of the way with my hip to make space.
It's just that general lack of manners you see in lines lately. I doubt anyone would ever be polite enough to offer up a spot if they saw someone struggling.
