Random things that are currently irritating you.

I'm annoyed at my H right now. I told him I was going to go out to get a bagel, and he wanted to come with me. He then chooses that moment to make "a quick call" and has now been on the phone for over 20 minutes. I could have already been eating my breakfast. I'm starving and he's not hanging up.

This would really piss me off. When I am hungry I can't wait. I have to eat. Leave him at home and get your breakfast!

He finally hung up and we got breakfast. I tried to be mad at him, but he's like a child- he's totally impossible to be mad at.

DH's aunt may be in town when I go into labor and I don't want her visiting at the hospital. She's constantly pushing her religion on us (DH and I are both atheists) and I don't want her around when I just pushed a baby out.

This is not ok. Ever. 

@lmtoo89 - Please don't make that an empty threat. If someone is really that disrespectful of your wish for privacy in the hospital after just having gone through childbirth, do not let them into your home. And explain why - "You (and others, maybe, I don't know) came to the hospital when I asked you not to. Because we couldn't get any privacy then, we're getting it now."

@ravenclaw1 - I now want an awesome bagel, but there are no places around that have bagels. I want a donut, too, but there's ONE donut shop and you have to get there by, like, 6 or they sell out of everything and close.

Mrsronzio's has a pretty ahmazeballs excited gif. If I can find it I will share.

Is it "that's a bingo?!" that's my favorite one!

I thought it was the excited nazi-inglorious-bastards gif... I am all off today.

That is the gif that I am in love with. It's so funny and can be used for so many things.

@kimberlymacrae

hahahaha I love christoph waltz!!!

1. I'm done with these night sweats. I wake up drenched then have to get up to feed the LO at which point I freeze because I'm wet.

2. My 9 day old son gets really cranky when he gets the hiccups, which he gets often. I can't help but think its the cutest thing ever!!!

@ravenclaw1 I'm also forever happy that dh does not play video games or computer games and we do not own a console

Honeyb416

Now that I am off work my irritation has been aimed at my DH which is irritating me because he really has been awesome thus far and I know I am being a brat but whatever. 10 months is a long time to be pregnant! He left me alone yesterday to watch college football, today he is typing on his message boards and asking me how to spell random words. Can't he see I'm trying to type on MY message board?! He should be helping me clean since he started his leave BEFORE ME!

I am pissed that my toaster was looking for a fight this AM by making my toast to toasty...UGH! I wasted 4 pieces before I said fluck it and just ate it.

I am irritated that I can't ever seem to get done with getting things ready for this baby and now today we have to go to a goodbye party an hour away = brat because they are our friends and we probably won't see them again for a year.

I am irritated that my left hand has been numb for 3 weeks and its getting worse...this better go away once I get my squishy baby on the outside! 

Said friend from above left me a voicemail that the baby needs to come in the next two days so they can see him before they move...he's not ready and I'm not ready so NO!

I think I'll go direct my irritation at getting things done now...that is all (it's really not though)

dude, my hand is the same, but it's my right, and I happen to be right handed. It's SO ANNOYING

OliveMom3

@honeyb416 if you have what I had, tout it was in both hands and due to edema, then yes, it goes away.

OliveMom3

@andjess11 my mom does the exact same thing!!! I say to her often, why ask the question when you are going to answer it yourself anyway? Or please let ME finish my sentence. I'm not long winded or anything so its really annoying!!! She also asks the same question again and again to the point where I have to say "I've already said no, what about no is difficult for you?" I know I sound rude, but constant interruption and repetition after already getting a firm response is rude too! Sometimes you have to fight fire with fire.

Sweetstuff18

So needed this! The 7 text mags that I've gotten from friends and family this morning asking if any things happening I know people are trying to be supportive but I'm sick of everyone's opinions about when I'll go into labor, how I will, what I can do to start it, what they think my labor will belike .....as if I'm not anxious enough Thanks for letting me rant

michaelaelaine01

I want in on this! My big (superficial) pet peeve: it's fall and it's my favorite time to shop. Fashion lady mags are arriving at my door with some seriously fab stuff. The stores are packed with cute boots and jeans and dresses and tops (oh my!).

And I want to buy, buy, buy. But I'm huge and am waiting to return to normal before I drop any cash on myself. This girl just wants to SHOP!

(Disclaimer: my husband is probably super happy I'm not updating my closet this fall. But "how many brown boots do you NEED?" has not been said yet this season.)

(For the record, I need many. Tall ones, ankle ones, suede ones, leather ones, flat ones, heeled ones, medium heeled ones......) squeeeeee!

I am annoyed that my husband used me and my contractions to get out of a family dinner last night because he wanted to watch the fight...I don't like appearing weak

Mrs.AllyH

1. My internet has been hit or miss since we went from Insight to Time Warner (not by choice).

2. I did not want to go to church at all this AM. I didn't sleep last night and I just wanted to sleep on the couch.

3. I have tried calling DirecTV a couple of times to try and get a break on RedZone (got it for $50 last year). I know it's a game of getting the right person in the right mood, but we don't have it this week. I am too tired to play that game and DH is really bad at negotiating.

@kimberlymacrae that fight was pretty awesome fight-- still can't get the Justin Beiber thing. Weird as it gets... and my uncle kept singing baby baby baby ohhh loudly and I wanted to throat punch him.

@HBirdie I would lose it over the pickling salmon. That shit makes everything else smell! And no wonder you walked away! It could've easily turned into an episode of "snapped."

@ravenclaw1 a bagel with cream cheese sounds phenom. How long did you have to wait? I think I might've just gone in and texted, what do you want, you made me wait too long. Lol

@imakeeff0rts please tell me you did get on and lose it on those boys. That would be hilarious.

Dear Lord @msronzio it took every ounce of strength I had not to lose it. I think he probably sang it at full volume every time someone said Justin beiber which was about 15 times. X_X

I'm sorry but lmfao!!! I wish it wasn't at your expense, but it's because this is something my family would do! At least you werent in public. Next time you may not be so lucky.

I have been up ALL night vomiting and my throat hurts so bad now, it is impossible to sleep!

imakeeff0rts

@MrsAllyH  Ohhhh.....let me tell you about how much I hate Time Warner. Right after we upgraded our internet, they had their lackeys at American Support (a telemarketing company) call to try to get us to upgrade again. They called literally 3-5 times a day for almost two months. I did everything - I told them to stop, I spoke to managers and told them to stop, I auto-rejected, I stopped answering, I picked up and hung up. I ended up having to take it to Time Warner. I told them that if I got one more phone call from American Support on their behalf, I would consider it harassment, cancel my service, and take appropriate legal action. That was a month ago. Haven't gotten a call since. So, keep a look out for that. If they call, just call Time Warner directly and tell them to remove your number from that list.

@jpryber0528 - no, I didn't. He muted them about five minutes after I posted.

That's cute! I often call my husband a man child because he has this child like quality about him that is adorable. I can, however, stay mad at him for a few hours at a time.

Today I am irritated with the tacky baby shower invite I got on FB. She is apparantly hosting it herself and instead of simply stating where she is registered, she actually made a full itemized list of what she needs.

This list has literally everything on it, down to breast pads and nipple cream. She also made sure to suggest that people give restaurant and babysitting gift certificates so that "We still remember that we're a couple".

Oh, and she also gave the name and location of her hair dresser so that people can get her gift certificates to grt her hair done. She kindly included the cost of what she wants done to her hair.

Needless to say, I declined the invite.

Heat rashes. I didn't even get them at the apex of summer, so what the hell? I'm apparently going to have to live on Benadryl for the next two weeks.

...what the actual fuck? 

ETA: There are certain circumstances in which I could understand someone having a second baby shower (like, your house burned down and you lost everything type of a situation). But the fact that she's hosting it herself, and had the audacity to ask people to pay for her to get her hair done? 
...I'm dying to see this invite.

@JenMarie279 again what the ever loving fuck! This is the only way to appropriately convey my complete and total WTF....

I have been doing pretty good avoiding stressful family so far, but today my Mom, my Dad and my Stepsister are driving to town to be here for my RCS on Tues.  My sis has been texting me non-stop with name suggestions.  

No we have not picked out a name and no I don't need 10 separate texts in 3 minutes of your suggestions.  Just because you are bored in the car don't start harassing me!  And don't call me when I don't reply to the texts to see if my phone is working!!

Thanks I need to get that out  When I tried to complain to my hubby about it he just more pissed than me and said tell them to turn around and go home.  

Skalbrecht

I have a few to add - hope mommies with outside babies can play!

The more I think about it the more annoyed I am my husband only stayed in the hospital with me one night...and it wasn't the night we delivered - it was the last night before we came home.

He is really making an effort to help (i can tell), but isn't really following through on his offer to help at night by getting the baby from her crib, diaper changing and bringing her to me. The one night he did was amazing....so he needs to step it back up.

We are waiting on a call from a headache specialist (some specific type of neurology), I know he doesn't feel well, but neither do I! I did push a baby out less than a week ago and tore...a little more help with everything would be great, thanks.

I keep running a low grade fever, have a killer headache, am getting the chills and my back is still killing me. I would like my body to stop acting so stupid!!!

My SMIL apparently just laughed her butt off on the phone when DH told her the newest name we are considering (Magnolia) and said our LO will be teased in school. This is after last month when she informed us the name we liked then was a "stripper" name (Lorelai). So annoying.

If she says the stripper thing again, ask her how she knows- is that the name if one if her coworkers?

Or don't- this appeased my bitchy mood.

happybride 276

I have explained to my mother in detail how tired I am of people trying to manage my delivery. I told her I am uncomfortable going to 42 weeks so we will induce at 41w or 41w1d. I don't want to go further than that and my doctor is good with it. She told me today that it would be great for her if I could wait to have the baby a week from Thursday. That is 41w4d. I told her she was bat shit crazy and it would never happen. What the hell is wrong with people that they can't listen to what I am saying? I know she has a lot going on but earlier in the day she spoke I to my belly advising that he could come at any time.

Skalbrecht

@Loppy 19 - I was wondering too. My dr said not to call unless my fever was 101, but it's been running 99-100.5, then will break for a few hours. The chills have come and gone with the fever. I will probably call - better to be safe than sorry.

jlp0528

@happybride 276 WTF!! Because the birth of your child should be based around everyone else's schedule. Seriously!?

My MIL just called my H tonight because she's still not over last Friday when I didn't call her back in less than 3 hours (gasp and shock, I know I'm terrible, right?) to ask when we think the baby will come-- hmmm I dunno anytime between now and the 27th when we would induce at 41 weeks like yourself. And THEN tells him well don't forget I have out of town training Tuesday and Wednesday (just started with a new job this may and lots of diff training happens-- it's government) so if it didn't happen then that would be great. Ummmm, let me go ahead and stop active labor if it begins for you. Sure! #-o

jlp0528

@Loppy19 if I could love your status times 100, I would. My SIL who hasn't called me since she found out I was pregnant called my dads today when I was over and asked to talk to me with questions like these and if I lost my mucus plug yet... WHY DO PEOPLE THINK ITS OKAY TO ASK THESE QUESTIONS!!!!????

katdesear

My mom asked me where I wanted to go for my birthday brunch, I told her.  She asked me what time I wanted to go, I told her.  She then tells me that is too late and we need to go earlier to avoid the church crowd.  She then texts me to tell me that she also doesn't want to go to the place I picked and that my dad wants go to the family restaurant near my house, ok whatever.  Last time we suggested that place, my dad did not want to go because it was such a long drive, they live 45 minutes from us.  Found out yesterday the place stops serving breakfast at the time we agreed to meet, so I texted my mom to let her know because she really wanted breakfast, and apparently my birthday breakfast has become all about her.  She then responds with "We can go wherever, whenever.  Just let us know."  SERIOUSLY?!  TBH I had completely forgotten about my birthday this year, the person growing inside of me has been occupying my thoughts recently.

I'm super annoyed so I'm adding another. I teach and try to keep my school life seperate from my personal life. I've given my cell phone number to a handful of parents under special circumstances. Well, a very helpful, yet annoying, parent from last year just texted me "Have you had your baby yet?!" Bitch, I've declined all 7 of your fb friend requests and we haven't spoken since your son left my class in May! Why do you think you can ask me personal questions!? And this is why I tried to avoid giving you my number and only did so when you bailed me out with our memory books the very last weekend of school.

I remember when my mom was teaching...apparently it was normal at the school for teachers to give their numbers out. None of her students except for one used it...and he called all. the damn. time. 

That's what e-mail is for. If I get back into teaching, there will be no personal numbers distributed. Ever. Under any circumstances. I hope you didn't respond to her.

ETA: Or say "Who's this?" And when she tells you, tell her you think she has the wrong number. When she says who she's looking for, tell her she definitely has the wrong number.
