I think I'm the Teflon Don of babystalking

I realized today I have the magical power of repelling babystalkers. I was getting my hair done and I had been hearing the stylist doing hair next to mine talking about trying to get more servings of vegetables in and noticed she had a huge amount of roots, but didn't put it together.

Then all of a sudden, I have my head in the sink and I see her pulling out a load of ultrasound pics and saying to the person next to me in a loud voice, "Look at the weenie! It's a weenie! It's definitely a boy, ha ha ha!" The whole time I was thinking, "Good gravy, please let her leave me alone, please." I do not fake enthusiasm very well. She didn't even give me a second glance.

I don't know what I did, but something worked. Then I realized it doesn't happen to me very often. I walked out of there breathing a sigh of relief.

I don't know what is more disgusting, the fact that she can't use proper medical language or that she is so obsessed with it (and insisting others look at it too). I am glad you could avoid the damn photos.

I am very much the same way. I don't get baybeestalked very often. I think it's because of my utter deadpan lack of interest in anything that anyone has to say around me. I just don't give a damn.

Sometimes a duh will try to pull it off with me in a grocery store lineup, but I will usually turn and give him a disapproving frown, or whisper, "How annoying.." under my breath or something. Anything to shut him up.

I have a complete lack of interest in loaves and brats, and I think it shows in my overall demeanor. I don't walk around like a loaf-eating ogre or anything, but I don't show any interest or smile at kyds around me in public.

They get enough back-pats and approval from other breeders and pleasers, they don't need it from me.

The fact that this woman is already weenie-obsessed with her unborn fetus is quite disturbing...it will only get worse after she sluiced the poor kyd. He is going to grow up with a crazy helicopter moo who will probably scare away any potential girlfriend or person of the female persuasion that even glances in his general direction.

I really did luck out. She has the most irritating voice I've ever heard, so combine that with all of the weenie talk and I wanted to run out of there with a wet head.

I literally cannot summon an ounce of enthusiasm if it isn't something I'm really interested in. I attempt to plaster a grin on my face and say things like "Wow!" but it sounds so pathetic it's ridiculous. My MIL will talk about the grandkids and I will say things like "Oh, that's great" and she can tell right away that I don't have an ounce of interest. She kind of called me out on it a little bit last time I saw her. I admire people who can be complete frauds and put on a good act.

I've taken to whispering "Oink" under my breath when I walk past an inpig breeder, lol!

My boyfriend calls inpig moos "pregnoids" as if they are aliens, lol.

i think you might have developed a facial expression you convey automatically, yet unconsciously in such situations (some of us do it all the time. me too.)
it's a mixture of horror and disgusted look on your face. almost as automatic as reflex to jump away when shocked by electricity.
you don't notice it, but others do smile
i think i made that face everytime i encounter... err, most of them.

when i am with my BF near a screaming crying bratty butthead, he recognizes my facial expression and pulls me out from the monstrosity --something like that! eyes2

goddamnit i did double post again.

Yeah I just lost what I posted to this, but with me - the wifi is jammed up, I think.

I was just waxing romantic about "Old Man Vince" who lusts after me, anyway - which has little to do with baby stalking (just stalking or leering in general) (this is a construction worker who works on my houses) - and he's very good looking. Best to keep my mind off him anyway LOL.

I think I do the same thing. Breeders never seem to push kids on me, I must get a tired, glazed-over look on my face around kids so the parents figure I'm a lost cause. No matter how hard I try I just can't fake enthusiasm, and when I try to they see right through my facade.

Why bother to feign interest? I don't!

I totally ignore them and adopt my "flat affect" face - the same you would see on a bored sheep.

I must give off pheremone signals that tell breeders 'Keep your ugly crochfruit out of my face or I'll drop-kick it across the room" because I rarely get approached.

I have the Wednesday Adams look when someone talks about something I do not care about. After a minute of my not-blinking, blank staring, people tend to stammer, do the lip tics and the side glances to make sure they have the nearest exist spotted.

I am too old and too tired to fake enthusiasm about how many letters Junior knows.

I think this is the look I get whenever someone asks if I want to hold the baby...
