My siblings are TWs. My brother is in town for my mom's 70th, and neither he nor my sister understand that 3pm lunches and 9 pm dinners don't work for a constantly hungry pregnant woman. You can only snack so many times before those snacks equal a meal. I'm the baby by 14 and 18 yrs so if I even breathe a word about this or decide to eat on my own I'm being a snotty brat... Ugh!
My kitten is also a TW. If she isn't trying to bite my fingers and toes,she's walking on my neck, laying on my neck, stepping on my mouth, or just booping my mouth with her paws.
I banished one of our cats last night because he woke me up stepping on my hair, my throat, my sore boobs, kept putting his paw on my nose, etc. I was not pleased.
I was in such shock and just like, wtf, plus busy at the bar so I just took his stuff and walked away. Afterward I thought that I should have asked him how small his dong was because it's equally embarrassing and inappropriate. Now my work friends walk around and say, "double digits" any chance they get, and it cracks me up. But he is a TW 98% of the time, so there's that.
DH is a TW. He keeps bringing home more mouths to feed. We have a dog and a hedgehog. Both require buying food for twice a month, and Hedgie requires bedding. Yesterday he brought home two little leopard geckos. Baby ones. So now we need a bigger tank, more food, a heat lamp, sand, hiding places, Ect.
Guess whose the one to clean and take care of all these fur babies? . Me. I asked for a small dog and he wasn't having it, but he brings home geckos?! I won't touch them. They're small and fast and not my thing. Ugh.
But I can't be too mad at him, he did get promoted at work.. So he's bring home a little more pay each paycheck, but damn it.. Stupid geckos.
This is my husband! Last pregnancy we had a dog, hedgehog and one leopard gecko. The gecko was from my husband's high school years and was over 10 years old...I kept hoping it would bite the dust (that thing was mean) before the baby and it did (I swear I didn't kill it), just before the baby was born. Since then the hedgehog has also passed (he was severely neglected before he came to us). I have informed my husband that he isn't allowed to get any more caged animals until are kids are at the "need some responsibility/ daddy can we get one" stage. Cleaning the cages and weird food purchases is a pain! I feel for you!
@Lemonpig1 I almost peed reading your story! AHAHA! You do you with your corn shopping. Sounds to me like that lady was being a big ol' TEE DUBS! A person should be able to peruse corn in peace, without having others pushing their corn shopping agenda!
Everyone operating and/or ATTEMPTING to operate a motor vehicle in the greater Cleveland area today is a TW. It also doesn't help that it's July and basically none of the pot holes have been fixed! I probably sound like a crazy person for yelling a string of curses every time I hit a bump (my car also doesn't absorb shock well so me, my bladder, and sciatic nerve take the brunt of these pit holes)
On another note, saw an ex (the emotional abuser, cheater and liar who now puts his wife thru the same thing..awful) today for the first time in a long time, in ths parking lot nwar one of my meetings. Rocking my fierce little maternity dress and sunglasses, I don't even acknowledge him and get in my car, blast Led Zeppelin "Whole Lotta Love" and head out. Definitely felt like a bad ass
@Snoopylovesbelle I would be so pissed!! We put a ton of work into our landscaping of our last house and we rent it out now so we knew it would probably not be kept up, but it's hard to see it now.

The electric company is a tw. They're trimming trees around power lines and for some reason the bushes at my fence line 20 feet away from the power lines laterally, another 15 from being tall enough even if they were right below it, got marked to be chopped. Now, the view is open from our back yard to the busy street that runs next to our house and my dogs are going nuts at seeing all the people.
My mum is a twatwaffle today (oh yeay my phone knows twatwaffle too!!). She was looking at old pictures of my last pregnancy and said "look how skinny your face looked then..." And looked at me like "because it sure as hell isn't now!!" I just went to my room and ate minstrels.
Also, got bitten by a horse fly today.. Seriously everything is biting me, I think my blood must be tastier while pregnant but a horse fly?!? Argh! That is majorly painful!! TW!
ETA phone might know twatwaffle but its made up other rubbish instead

FYI bugs love preggo blood. And it's even worse if you have low thyroid function. Should be a fun summer
Yep, I noticed an increase in mosquito attraction. Normally they don't bite me. I'm lucky because I apparently don't taste good to them. But NOWWWWW It's on like donkey kong when there are mosquitoes. 3x the amount of blood in our bodies probably is too much to resist.
Normally I would never say my sister is a Twaffle. But she is today! DH and I decided to keep our baby names to ourselves, it's our first and we have a very opinionated Italian families. So we both thought leaving them in the dark was our best option. Basically if I don't name my first born child after one of them that makes me an asshole. Sorry not sorry we don't need anymore Anthony and Donatto jr's running around! So my sister and I hung out and she kept asking me about names. I made her look me in the eyes and said "If I tell you do you PROMISE not to tell anyone??" She promised up and down, since she's my sister I thought I could trust her and it would be no big deal. What does she do??? The next night she drinks a few glasses of wine and tells my cousin and mother! Sorry sis, love you to pieces, but you are my weeks twat waffle!
I already posted one but this by far takes the cake for my month of twatwaffles.. Twatwaffle for the win, goes to the couple taking over payments on our car. We met a nice couple who had two young kids and decided we'd take a chance since they gave so much info on themselves. We left the 2010 honda civic in our name, and they were to make monthly payments. This was back in the beginning of April. Fast forward to the end of June, a day before we were going out of state to visit family we get a call from the bank that there's a late payment needing to be paid and we were on the hook for it. We called them up, the guy said he didn't know his wife hadn't paid and he'd take care of it. Now the end of July we get another call. The payment was never made. Now there's two payments late, plus a ton of added late fees. The balance is up to almost $650, that needs to be paid in full. That we are on the hook for. I immediately send the wife a nasty text message because I'm sick of it. On the 30th of this month there's gonna be three missed payments and it goes up to $900, to be paid in full. I told her I'd let them reposes the car, and she said she'd call them. Now two weeks later, she hasn't called the bank. Hasn't gotten in touch with us. Bank calls yesterday and DH is so pissed he gives them the address and tells them to go pick up the fricken car. So, now they're going to reposes the car. Auction it off, whatever's left we pay but we can do payments.
Now the kicker of the story. Because they never made a single payment, and it was so much in debt, under DH's name. It tanked his credit BIG time. So when we called the VA home loan people they said they won't even talk to us until our credit is up. We are like 6 months away from moving home from the military. We want to buy our first house, and can't. I can't even get a nursery ready for our baby, because the major twat general, used us and tanked hubby's credit. Ugh!!!

HORRIBLE I might send a message to the couple telling them that they have RUINED your credit and made it so you cannot get a loan for a home and it's ALL THEIR FAULT. That no one should ever take a chance on them again and they should NEVER dare ask, and they should be ASHAMED.
@mommaSimpkin that sucks.... I can't even imagine. It really is awful when people open their hearts to help someone and the other party takes advantage. The world would be a much nicer place if everyone treated others as they'd like to be treated. I hope everything comes together in the long run and the couple gets the negative karma they so obviously deserve.
My boss is a TW. She fat fingered a text to me about an order for 250 cupcakes for this morning. I scrambled to get the order done and she comes in asking why I had all of these cupcakes on aTuesday. She meant to type 25. I even messaged her after asking is she was serious about the 250 and she said yes.
@mommaSimpkin , I would strongly urge that you try and avoid repossession. Right now your DH's credit is in bad shape because of late/missing payments. Defaulting on a loan will absolutely ruin it. Please try and make a deal with your loan agent. It will take you guys several years to recover from a default. PSA : Don't ever trust your credit to *anyone* else. You have no legal recourse if they ruin it. Karma isn't going to help you when it takes you 7 years to get a loan.
At this point. We'd rather no one have the car. Since nothing was ever put in writing in front of a judge. Whatever happens to the car, is up to DH and I. We talked to the bank and they are going to auction the car. the car is valued at 10,000 right now. Whatever they can't get, we'll have to pay. They said we'd be able to do payment options. Keeping the car, is ruining his credit horribly. We can't even get it to go up 1 little point. We'd rather get it away from them, and get the loan paid off. Get it out of our faces. So we're able to start working DH's credit back up.
The couple seemed so fricken nice, and now I'm kicking myself for even doing it. We are so mad, we aren't even telling them. It's just going to happen one day. I figure I can't do much, so waking them up to a car reposed seems ok. They are horrible people, who deserve this. Sadly. I'm not even a mean person, I will give chance after chance. But they've ruined my chance at a nice home with DH and our baby.
A repo is so much worse than a few late payments. Your credit will be ruined not just lowered. You won't be able to get loan for 7 years because that's how long it takes to drop off
It sounds like they're doing a voluntary repossession, which is still pretty bad, but it's not quite as bad as a complete default. A good financial counselor should be able to help them find ways to get his credit up. Shitty situation.

It's a real shitty situation that's for sure. The bank said they'd work with us. Our credit isn't just 'bad' right now. I'm talking horrible. His credit is so bad.. Luckily we have things on loans, we can pay for and help our credit a little. Our bed is on a loan through Ashley furniture, and we make our monthly payments. Our truck is on a loan. We got a living room set on a loan through big lots. They're just little things, but it'll help a little. It's gonna take a while, a long road to recovery. All thanks to the Twatwaffle.
My ex went through that and the car was valued at maybe 12 and he got about 3500 for it. It won't sell for hardly anything at the auction so be prepared to not only have your credit ruined, and paying 7 grand for a car you don't even own. Is there any way you can take possession of the car back? I say take it back ( if possible, maybe threaten a court battle) and then make payments until you can sell it private party. I think you will majorly regret getting a repossession. It won't show on your credit the circumstances.
@mommaSimpkin If you took the car back yourself and made payments (and caught up on late payments) your credit would be fine very quickly. Letting the car get auctioned off will be a black mark for 7 years on your credit report. I agree with @jessfragione that it's not the best option.
ETA: The coworker who says he is "babysitting" his kids is a TW. No, you are the parent also.

I know DH wants the car gone. He doesn't want it at all. I think it'd be nice to have around, since I can't heft a baby into a lifted truck without any steps. Seriously, you all should see me trying to get in. A short, barley 5'4 girl, trying to lift her leg into a truck that's lifted 4 inches higher than the factory lift.
I don't know if the bank will even work with me, on forgiving the owed. Since we didn't have it for the time being. My mother tried telling me to ask if they would put the owed money to the back of the loan, and kinda do like a fresh start on payments. The banks fully aware of the situation of the couple having the car. So they know we haven't had it for months. The bank lady seemed pretty understanding about helping us out, but I don't know if she'd go that far.
I'd really have to talk to DH about it, it's in his name. It's his credit. I can try my best to save hubby's credit, but sometimes there's just no convincing that man. He's a stubborn mule.
@mommaSimpkin if his credit is already shot I think it would be history after that, really paying 6-8 grand for a car you don't own just isn't doable. I would take from savings or try to pay up to date and go get your car back. In no mean way possible but I'd be having a serious talk with DH because this is a major deal rather than "he doesn't want the car anymore". Sell it private party for what you owe and be done. Companies are more than willing to usually work with you and if you explain this is what we can pay, I can't see why they would repossess. Please remember too his credit will affect you and him. I would be having a major discussion and trying to pay off all those little loans too.
Well even if you don't want it, it's still better to take the car back and sell it yourself than having a bank auction. The other couple doesn't really factor in at all legally or for your husband's credit since the loan was in his name. Since you are married it will likely affect your credit as well and the monies owed would be your responsibility as well. So, I think it's a joint decision. If there is any way to work with the bank and take posession of the car yourself I would highly recommend that.
You've already let people outside of your family decide your credit fate - why let that continue by letting the company repossess it and continue to go into debt over a car you've probably never driven?
It sounds like your DH is being immature and has a bad taste in his mouth over the fact that he trusted these people which is why he wants it gone but that's not really the best option financially.
