How many commented negatively/gossiped about your breast augmentation (not counting bf or family)

[JACQELINERT]

Please vote on how many people have made negative comments or gossiped unkindly about your breast augmentation. Please DO NOT include comments from your man, or your immediate family. I am only looking for the reaction from your social and work circles, because that is what a lot of us worry about before our BAs!

You can vote for two choices: how many commented to your face, and how many, as far as you know, commented behind your back (and someone told you about the comment). Or you can say no one at all (option 7)

I haven't had any negative comments to my face, or as far as I know, any gossip behind my back. But then, I'm usually pretty clueless about gossip and I'm too mean of an SOB for anyone to dare comment to my face, so who knows what they're thinking LOL!

to my face only one person whom i only vagely new she was a ann summers party rep who was holding a party at a buddys house and i was there and she started makeing all these negitive comments about people who have breast augmentation's she was really unkind and made comments alomg the line of being week willed mentally desturbed people who have plastic surg.some really hatefull stuff. i still dont know why she said these things as i have choosen to forget that she exists since but it was really horrid.

we all got the last laugh as she was asked to leave the house and we just put our order through another rep she lost out on big bucks that night

All I've had is negative comments from people I know,mostly along the lines of "you don't look any different" Its quite sad for people to keep telling you your boobies are still small, when you've gone up two cup sizes.
Well at least I'm not wearing a padded bra now ;(
No one has been negative about actually going for a breast augmentation, I couldn't care less if they were.

I bet that Ann Summers rep is just jealous and secretly wants one herself, so she can look nice in the undies.

You have to remember, the vast majority of "comments" (negative or positive) will NOT be said to your face. I guess it's the nature of the beast with augmentations (kinda personal... kinda taboo) And Studies say that (believe it or not) People who DO COMMENT to your face will tend to be overwelmingly positive. (It doesn't seem like it in society but MOST people still follow the "if you can't say something nice rule....")

I haven't heard one comment on my boobs (I do try to play them down) But I don't believe for one moment nothing has been said about them. There are a few women in town who have had them done (only one was totally open about them) and I'm sure the others think "No one has even noticed...did I not go big enough?" But they are commonly known as "you know Debbie.....with the fake boobs....she's working there now" Most of the talk isn't actually malicious, just matter-of-fact.

Yeah, I'm sure in some circles that's true. But my interest was not so much to find out whether people gossip or not.

Since a lot of girls, pre-breast augmentation, worry about having to deal with direct comments or hearing about gossip, I thought it might be good to find out how much of those remarks we actually encounter, post-breast augmentation.

LOL I assume EVERYONE I know has noticed mine but is too polite to say anything. I believe my own husband is embarrassed by me because it's "tacky"! It's a weird feeling, but I'm willing to live with it in order to have the body I want!

I can't imagine anyone whose opinion I'd ever care about referring to me as "you know, the one with the fake boobs"!! But even if they did, IMO that's pretty harmless -- it's just a distinguishing characteristic, a shorthand way of saying "the one who got the breast augmentation." IMO no different from "the redhead" or "the one who's mom was in that horrible car accident."

In other words, Linda, so bloody what? LOL!

Behind my back, I have no clue. To my face, 1 person and she isn't/wasn't and will never be my "friend". She's the wife of a very good friend of mine though.

Oh wow. I sure hope no one talks about me like that. You know, Jess, with the fake boobs! Ugh. How rude.
