I spent two years in (a non-traditional) camp as a waitress. The second year, we were serving ice cream at Shalosh Seuedos and one of the other waitresses came over and said to me, SO sincerely, 'You do that so well! You should work in an ice cream store!"
Yes. Thank you for assuming that my mental capacities don't go beyond scooping ice cream.

Dumbest or insensitive? Insensitive would be "You look like you're going to absolutely pop any second!!!!" when I'm in my ninth month (thanks alot, I don't feel bad enough already).
Dumbest: Me to salesguy that I see every week (finally after months and months of him calling me maam like an old grandmother-I'm his age btw):
Me: "Please don't call me maam, it makes me feel old"
Him: "Okay, maam" _________________ Let your fellow's honor be as dear to you as your own and do not anger easily (Pirkei Avos/t)
My 15 year old sister was visiting my grandmother in a nursing home and some girls were there visiting the people there. One of them came over to my sister and said "oh, are you a resident here?"
Most insesitive, said to my other sister: Your baby looks just like your husband! Don't worry, looks don't matter anyway! _________________ Smile there, aint you glad your living:)

Reminds me of when I took my recently divorced friend out for lunch. She had her 6 month old with her. Woman we both know comes over. "awww she so sweet, looks just like her daddy.. at least sumthing to remember you were once married? hu?" u kidding.. wait... "he prolly feels so guilty that she looks like him no?" Arghhhhhhhhh....... some ppl left the womb leaving their common sense on the placenta wall!

Someone told me that a friend asked, "You're nearing the end?" She said she was just in her seventh month. The friend was like, "Oh, ,twins!!"
