I went into Walmart yesterday at 9am.
I'm waiting in line when an older woman my in laws know gets in line behind me. I barely know her but smile and say hi.
I'm making an effort to hide the box of pregnancy tests from her (picking up two things at once and shielding it).
She sees I'm trying to hide something and walks around me to see the box (obviously looking at the conveyer contents).
Then she gasps, "are you pregnant!?"
I lock eyes at the woman ringing me up and say, "that is kind of what the tests are meant for."
The older lady gasps again, "oh is it not (DH's)? i thought he had a vasectomy."
The cashier gets really wide eyed and looks at the old lady and says, "if it were someone else's do you think she would want everyone in Walmart to know?"
I thanked the cashier and talked directly to the cashier saying, "we had not even told my husband's parents that he had a reversal, but i guess if we must be gossiped about the fact that i am trying to have a baby with my husband is better than people saying i got knocked up in an affair."
The old lady scoffed at me and remained silent through the rest of the check out.
And the cashier told me good luck as i left.

I know a public area has no promise of privacy but come on!
