Vendor (female, no pics) is here today. Visibly pregnant since last time. Say something, or no?

Asking if it is yours it totally acceptable in this situation.

Negative. If she wants to talk about it she'll bring it up...then you can engage.

Say "Damn, girl, you got FAT!"

Edit: if this backfired and she gets pissed, you can smooth it over by saying “Really? I always thought you were a lesbo.”

I said something one time - girl wasn't pregnant, put on weight. Felt like an arse when she told me that.

NO NO NO.

Years ago I asked a receptionist when is the big day.
She said "What big day?"

I stuttered and said something like, isn't your office moving?

silence followed.

As a man, never ever ever ask if she is pregnant unless you see a baby actively emerging from her vagina.

That’s not business etiquette. It’s “don’t be a dumbass 101.”

Last time I asked what I THOUGHT was a "visibly pregnant" female about her pregnancy, it turned out that she wasn't pregnant.

Lesson learned.

Hell no! I made that mistake in the grocery line one day. Only problem, she wasn't pregnant, just chunky.
