It annoys me far beyond the level it should, but when I hear a man say "We're pregnant", I want to scream.

Alright Lenin, tone it down fella.
I have a baby tapeworm growing in my tummy.
Agree. Sometimes at work I'll hear people say, "We're already pregnant" in reference to a deal the company is already committed to. Makes me want to scream.
I agree. It's terrible. You can say "we are having a baby", which is great, but only one of you is actually pregnant.
The use of "we" that I have never understood is when people use it to mean "you." For example, waiters/waitresses who come to the table and ask "are we ready to order?"

Or, when waiter/waitresses or salespeople say "I have a...". The reality is, you don't have sh!t... the company that employs you, does.

Also, when people say "we won" in reference to their favorite sports team.
No, the players won. "We" sat on our couches and watched.

This is true, although I often use "we" instead of "I" or "you" when pitching an idea or trying to navigate a delicate situation... you know, to reinforce that "we are all on the same team".

Says the guy whom will never impregnate a woman.
It's another one of those 'politically correct' terms that drives me nuts too.
I even dislike the words 'politically correct.'

Is he having a baby? Larry had a baby last month.
Tell me about it. I can feel my blood boil every time my wife says that sh*t

You're trying too hard. It's "who," moran.

LOL. Idiot! What's the next you're gonna say? That women can't have dicks?
Saying "we're expecting" is a better compromise that should make everyone happy.
Using man logic of course.
The only thing worse is the coach who says we.
Like Rick Suhr, saying "when we cleared 4.85m, I knew we were going to win." He hasn't cleared a bar in his life. . She is the one who jumps.
The phrase is especially bad when later on the kid looks like the neighbor.
Or hanging around Navy spouses and hearing that they are on deployment.
Or a guy can say to a woman "you're having my baby!"
