When is it okay to ask?

Women are kind of hinky like that. Asking "When are you due?" to a woman who isn't pregnant and coming to discover that, she was just fat is kind of a faux pas.... Especially when the people couple the question with the condescending belly rub/ pat thing. Some people don't know when to keep their mouth shut, do they?

I watched a group of women walk up to an obvious stranger, who could have afforded NOT to be eating fried foods and could have been hitting the gym or something and ask when she was due as they fawned over this woman as they did the belly rub/ pat thing. This poor woman was obviously offended and said something to the effect of, "What the hell are you doing? I'm not pregnant!"

The group of women stalked off, all while voicing their displeasure, saying how rude that woman was.... Yeah, because the woman was the rude one.... I laughed and merrily skipped away.
