No one messes with me and my Tim Hortons Coffee!
Tim Hortons coffee is a national favorite amongst Canadians. The coffee is second to none.
Saturday morning, Mark and I stopped at Tim Hortons for coffee before we began our weekend extravaganza of shopping for new bedroom furniture.
Admittedly, I am not the most patient person in the world, but when it comes to rude people, I usually bite my tongue and disregard their ignorance. It makes life so much easier, and it’s never worth the aggravation to vocalize your issues.
That is unless, you’re pregnant, and any sense of normalcy about your personality and ability to control your emotions has long been left behind along with your thoughts of ever fitting into those cute hip hugger jeans again!
While waiting in the long line up with about 14 million other java junkies to order my medium regular coffee (because my usual large double double is probably a tad bit too much caffeine for my little baby to handle), a man actually walked to the front of the line and butted in front of everyone!
Stunned someone would actually do that, I looked in front of me, and then behind me expecting that someone would surely speak up. No one was saying anything. Feeling my ragging pregnancy hormones starting to bubble over and the smoke starting to billow out of my ears, I knew there was nothing I could do to stop myself from what I was about to do.
I walked up the man, and politely told him he needs to get back in line like the rest of us. I think he was about to tell me where to go, but after a quick glance at my belly, he mumbled something under his breathe and walked out of the store.
I felt like the smuggest and most contented pregnant bitch on the face of the planet at that moment! Oh the power of a pregnant woman! No one messes with us and our bellies!

You see, there is power in women. If a guy spoke up like that the testosterone would probably flow, followed by blood, and a trip to the hoosegow.
That is so awesome you told that guy to get to the back of the line. Way to go!
Nice work! I find it funny that people find pregnant women so intimidating. :)
Way to go Karla.
My line to people that like to get in front of me instead of waiting there turn is " After me you come first "

Ha ha! Anvilcloud said "Hoosegow!" You're right, though.
That guy needed to be told to move on back, and I'm really glad you told him. How rude!
I think it's fun that people are intimidated by pregos! I don't know why. If anything we are more vulnerable. I just always point out to my students that if they get mad and decide to hurt me, they may not kill me, but if they kill the baby, they are still going to prison for murder. That usually keeps them pretty calm!
I bragged about you today to some of my students. I told them your story, and then proceeded to remind them that they better not mess with me b/c I'm pregnant. Of course, then they robbed me blind and stole a tape that belonged to the public library. I guess they win this time!
