WTF Wednesday

Jenly17

Really though, WTF? 

I posted this in the problematic parents post, but mine goes out to my Mom who saw me standing on the side of the road after I was in a car accident last night (baby is fine, thank God), rolled her window down to ask me if I was ok, and then drove off to run errands. WTF?! I just kept thinking to myself, that if it was my daughter, I would absolutely stop the car and get out to SEE if my daughter was ok. But I guess that's me. All I can say is that I hope to be a better parent to my daughter than my Mom is to me at times.

@Jenly17 is that normal for your relationship? That seems so odd, I'm sorry. Are you okay? How's your car?

My WTF is to the second house were trying to buy as an investment property. Its bank owned, but they're terms are ridiculous and unrealistic. For example, they want us to have a mortgage in 15 days. Also, they won't turn on any utilities or the water or heat to the house for the inspection. We'd have to do so at our own risk and pay for any damages incurred. No thank you. Not my problem if I turn the water on and there's burst pipe sorted furnace blows up. My lawyer basicky told us to back out, which stinks because it's a cute house that would be easy to rent and is right around the corner.

Wtf me. Also just posted in problematic parents but I just flipped on DH telling him I don't like his mom, find her pretenous and started a huge fight with him over nothing. I hate blaming my hormones but I really think they are to blame. I snapped over nothing and can't believe I just let this fight start.

@Jenly17 What?!? Thats baffling. Sorry about your wreck

My WTF is to my DD. Child, I love you more than life, but your brand new tantrum phase is making me wonder why I ever thought kid #2 was a good idea.

My WTF is to a coworker. Contacted me end of day yesterday with a half assed guess at something I did wrong instead of researching it. After I explained the issue and offered to fix it, she fear mongered that there was more wrong than that. Again I offered to help her research and resolve the issue but she refused.

What's the point of having me end the day feeling like crap because she'd rather complain and throw a tantrum than do some research or let me collaborate with her to resolve? I'm pregnant, getting over a bad cold, my husband lost his job- I really don't need the added stress from her immature reactions/behavior.

My WTF is for TB and the internet.

I missed a whole day of bumping yesterday. I feel so behind and like I've missed so much. Welp... now I won't be getting any work done as I scroll through and read everything I missed. 

BuzzBee614

@Bluejay3030 right there with you in the tantrum phase. I'm terrified to think of life with two...

My WTF is to my OB/GYN office yesterday when we showed up on time for our appointment, waited 20 minutes only to then be told that our doctor left to deliver a baby (which I understand). But why didn't you call us before the appointment or before making us wait 20 minutes for nothing? Or offer to see if another doctor could see us? But no, instead, my H has to take half a sick day this morning and I have to work clients around an appointment.

WTF to all the germs of the world. DH has been sick for 2 weeks and his doctor finally drew blood yesterday to check for all sorts of awful and/or scary things that could be wrong. I'm not letting myself google the risks to me if he has any of them or else I'll just hide in my closet and cry all day.

ETA I feel so badly for him, and worry about his health based on what the tests say. The thought of exposure to certain things while pregnant is just extra scary....didn't mean to sound heartless about the impact on poor DH!

Jenly17

@BuzzBee614 it's not really normal. There's been some tension lately, but she doesn't normally behave like that. I'm fine and baby is fine, my car is jacked up but can be fixed, so just trying to look on the bright side.

@Bluejay3030 thanks so much. Also, I feel for you with the tantrums. I'm going through that stage right now. It's miserable!

@yogahh I'm guilty of starting fights like this too. The hormones are crazy right now, so I don't think it's unreasonable to blame them. Hope things get easier for you and your H.

WTF to dudes spraying themselves head to toe with Axe on the subway platform! Really though, WTF to dudes using Axe in general. It stinks.

Perfume/cologne spraying in public should be a fine-able offense. Scent pollution!

Seriously it made me gag.

dsmith211

Wtf to everyone at work today. This is my first day back from vacation and it's like everyone got the memo to bombard me today. I want to go back home and take a nap now.

My WTF vent for today is earlier in the week I decided I needed to tell my boss that I'm expecting because of all the future appointments and work I will miss, etc. SO.. He walks into my office and I say "hey I have some news" and he says "good or bad?" Of course I replied, "good" .. And then proceeded to tell him "I'm pregnant". His immediate response was "what?! That's bad news. You're not married. Didn't they teach you any better?" (Mind you not that it's his business or really anyone's but I've been with my boyfriend for two years, we live together and DO plan to get married!) but that's besides the point... I have been so livid with him ever since this occurred and just want to punch him in the face. Although, sometimes I also want to cry. My man was not happy when I explained this to him and has been threatening to come to my place of employment since..... :-S

@kp90 that is not appropriate, at all. Can you report him?

Agreed, what a douche canoe!

kp90

@That1didntcount yes because what he said violates equal opportunity but I'm afraid to because he would find out that I've reported him and make my life at work even more hell. I handled stress terribly and I don't want anything affecting this baby, you know? It really sucks and is a crappy situation. I've applied for another job within the same building but not holding my breath.

@kp90 WTF indeed!!!! I can't believe a boss (or anyone!!) would ever say something like that! Not cool dude.

My WTF is to MH, who is usually practically perfect in every way. Last night I had a meeting at church so he was in charge of dinner, tubby, and bedtime. So, I ended up getting out of my meeting early and called at 7:15pm to tell him I was coming home and he cheerfully exclaims "Oh, great! Little buddy and I just finished going through the drive-thru! You might beat us home, just in time for tubby!" Ugh. So my plan of watching Dancing with the Stars on demand flew right out the window. And of course, my son had a belly ache and exploding diapers from french fries and chocolate milk. And he didn't end up going to bed until almost 9pm! And MH had to do something for work on the computer downstairs so I had to do tubby time and bedtime alone and nearly slipped on the water that was somehow all over the floor because MH started a project to install a new vent in our bathroom, but didn't finish it so instead we just have a hole in our ceiling. Argh! Then I fell asleep while reading a bedtime story and woke up in the most uncomfortable position ever and when I finally stumbled into bed and asked MH for a foot rub because my dogs were barking, he pretended to be fast asleep, even though I know he was on his phone like 2 seconds before. Then, this morning he was collecting up trash and I noticed a cup under our bed and asked him what it was and he sheepishly said "Oh, I got an Eggnog Shake last night, but didn't want to share." ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! He knows I LIVE for eggnog shakes from McD's. How hard would it have been to get one for me? Still fuming about that one...

WTF to my department head. I am chair of a M.S. committee and the student needs an extension on her thesis. Orig. deadline is Nov. 8. I asked the committee members (dept. head is on the committee) if they are okay with extending the deadline to Nov. 13. My dept. head sends me this long email about how busy he is yadda yadda yadda and needs the thesis today. 

WTF?

The deadline was never going to be today. Ever. 

So now he's saying if he doesn't have it today, he won't have time to review it before the defense.

Um...dude, you APPROVED Nov. 8 as the deadline. You can't screw over a student like that! Ugh!

mrstmoose

@kp90 that is extremely inappropriate on so many different levels. I would be talking to HR if I were you, that's none of his business and he had no right to say that. 

doozer1345

OP hugs! Even though you're thankfully not hurt I know it was scary!

My WTF is the clerk's office for jury duty said the trials were stacking up for Wednesday (on Monday) and to make sure to call Tuesday night bc we would probably have to go in Wednesday morning. So, I had to alter my work schedule yesterday thinking I had to go in today. You have to wait and call at 5pm everyday so I did and guess what? No jury duty but call Wednesday night (tonight) bc you may be called in for Thursday. UGH. So, I had to alter my work schedule again today and totally forgot I have to go to a mandatory doc appt! Needless to say it has become impossible to get sleep or save vacation time for this LO bc jury duty is eating it up! FML.

laurenmdrn16

I got another WTF. WTF to the teacher who called me to the playground because a student was "gushing blood". When I arrived, I literally could not find a single drop of blood. Not one. Of course, I ran in the middle of eating my lunch and barely made it back to my office before hurling it all back up and my tummy is still doing backflips. Can I call MY mom to have me dismissed? Please?!

Update....DH has mono. Sucks, but better than some of of the scary stuff they tested him for. WTF to germs again.

@lionstigersbears Yikes, mono! glad y'all got it figured out though and it's not something worse! I hope he recovers quickly and you are able to keep the germs away.

nerdymama15

WTF to my DH.  The saga from what I posted on Twatwaffle Tuesday continues........ ugh  He's done got me so upset that I now have a sinus migraine and had to leave work early.

WTF to the parents at nursery school that send their sick kids to school? DS has had 3 colds since the end of September (also wtf to lack of sanitizing toys?!) and we spent 6 hours in the ER with DS last night due to breathing distress. Now he has bronchiolitis and will be on a nebulizer every 3-4 hours and steroids for a week. Poor kid is miserable and I just want to nap.

dsmith211

Wtf to work again. I get back today. Nice long vacation. I just get an email saying to bad so sad, but you're working from 9-12 on Saturday morning. It's online from home but still.

However, nice newish guy just came up to me and said he would take half of my shift. So it makes it a little bit better I guess.

Now I can for sure go to the super awkward surprise birthday party for my step mom on Saturday. Yay!

That1didntcount

@lionstigersbears I loved it bc I'm glad the scary scaries are put to rest but boo to mono. What a sucky time for everyone to feel like crap, major boo. Thoughts and prayers he feels better fast.

WTF Wednesday goes to three separate people who have pissed me off for varying reasons. While typing this, I realize, it might need to go to my hormones! Am I just super sensitive? I rarely get these feathers ruffled and I feel like I am ten seconds away from cutting someone.

LovingLife!

WTF to my doctor! My 1st appointment was awesome with him and he was totally on board with a repeat VBAC. Then, at my 2nd appointment, he waltzes in and says, "So, ya gonna get your tubes tied with this c-section?!" I was so caught off guard and said, "NO! I had a VBAC, remember? I want another one!!" He'd written down 2 c-sections on my chart and our whole first appointment was about him supporting my VBAC plan! I'm still mad about it and am going to talk with him about it at my next appointment. I'm switching docs if he brings up a c-section again.

my WTF is my co worker and my boss. They literally chit chat all day, with little breaks in between. It drives me insane how unproductive they are and then how they both complain how busy they are or do not have enough time to get their work done. Then to make it worse my co worker vents to me everyday about our boss, but then kisses her ass and chats with her all day. Counting down 6 months until my MT and a real solid break from these two.

cgg0707

My WTF is to my dog. Please get your s*** together!!! I'm tired to cleaning your accidents. You're almost a year old!!!

evamarta

WTF to my mother who keeps interrupting any baby news I have with the importance of "stability" for a baby and by "stability" she means putting a ring on it. We're already engaged and planning to get married as soon as SO can get the time off, as he's opening up a new restaurant right now, and as soon as we can comfortably afford it between saving for the baby and the impending holidays. Like I'm not stressed out enough already with everything we have going on, I would appreciate it if everyone would stop putting so much pressure on me before I explode!
