This guy didn't get it:
I was taking the stairs at work from 1st floor to 2nd floor (nothing impressive about this - it's not like I was taking them 2 at a time or jogging up them or anything) and this guy looked at me with surprise that I'd be taking the stairs and said "Not giving up, huh?" I was a little confused....why would I be throwing in the towel? Do I look incapable of handling a single flight of stairs? Or was he just feeling awkward around a pregnant woman and that's the only thing he could think to say? Should've resorted to the standard "Good morning" passing comment. He was trying to be nice, I should cut him some slack.
This guy also needs a clue:
I was walking down the hallway and heard someone yell "Lewis!" from behind me. So I turned around and saw one of the guys from the Accounting dept and waited for him to catch up to me so I could say hi and chat quick. When he caught up to me, he said "I could tell it was you from your waddle." Wrong, wrong, wrong.
Scenario #3, finally an appropriate one:
Guy #3 and I were approaching each other from opposite ends of the hallway and as we got closer, I noticed he was smiling at me differently than you would normally smile in passing - kind of like in an "awww, that's cute" kind of way. I assumed he was smiling like that b/c of my waddle. B/c I know him pretty well, I asked him if I was waddling. He didn't outright confirm that I was waddling, but just said "You make it look classier than anyone." Thank you, John. Please give these other guys some lessons!
Thumbs up for guy #3! :)
