I had a similar shirt and was wearing it BOTH times when I was asked. I carry a lot of my weight in the torso and thought that style of shirt was a fix for my problem. One of those times I was target shooting at an outdoor gun range with a male friend and this redneck woman collecting people's brass asked me if I was pregnant. I said No. Then she said: Well, did you USED to be pregnant? I'd been was reloading when she'd walked up and I looked at my friend and joked "Accidents happen". The woman finally got the point and scurried back up to the long gun range, lol.

It could be worse. You could've asked her when her baby is due. That's the worst, so it's best to never ever mention that unless you're told a women is pregnant. Some people just carry more weight there.

He's telling the story from his point of view, and admits to being an asshole. It's not like we're only hearing the girl's side of the story and he was really a great guy and treated women well.

You treated girl 1 really badly for a very shallow reason. "I'm dumping you right before Valentine's Day for another girl." You should feel like an ass because you were one. The fact that you don't see how hurt and pissed she'll be and think you can go right back and say "my bad" shows you haven't matured or thought about how your actions have consequences for others and yourself. Accept the consequences that you blew it and learn from that so you don't do it again.

You'll get a much cheaper price going through an mvno (reseller) than through the big brands. Boost uses ATT or T-mobile (my line using T-mobile 5G is $26/month, ask to be sure you get the one you want). Straight talk uses Verizon (the $35 or $45 plan is unlimited everything) the service/speeds are good in my area, NW Georgia. Most plans aren't negotiable these days, standard pricing is online. You usually get a discount each month for using autopay and ebills. Ask people you know who they like service with if you're open to not using ATT.

Reply to comment by Thetakishi in What specifically about ginger/menthol/wasabi causes one's sinuses to open? by Bartendiesthrowaway
You are correct. The veins in the sinuses swell causing the feeling of a stuffy nose. Menthol and those vicks sinus smelly sticks cause the veins to contract, making room for more airflow to move through. I recently remembered the vicks sticks my grandmother used when I was a kid and looked it up to see how they worked since you don't actually inhale any fluid/medication.

I had a friend who had liver damage that was so severe she looked a full 9 months pregnant from the fluid backing up. She was an alcoholic and refused to see a Dr until it was too late to save herself. She wouldn't leave her house the last few months before she died because she knew she'd be asked if she was pregnant every time. She was very skinny otherwise.
There are many reasons not to ask a woman about it. She may have a medical problem and doesn't want to have to explain it. She may have just had a miscarriage or have found out that the baby's life isn't viable. It totally outweighs any benefit of asking without knowing the situation ahead of time.
