WTF is that ball of fire in the sky? We've had rain for the past 14 days...I am confused by the sun. Now I have to use my sunglasses for their original purpose, not just as a headband Also, apparently all the radio stations adjusted their broadcast for the clouds and rain, and now that there is sun....all I get is static! UGH!
Wtf to my coworker who took over the conference. You are driving my team bat shit. Not only did you drop the ball on what plans I handed over to you, you also threw me under the bus to my boss about how I failed to coordinate anything. At least he is reasonable and knows you are the crazy one.
I'm so happy for this today. WTF to the secretary at work. I walked into the office this morning during my planning bell. She immediately looks at me and says: " I'm so glad you're pregnant." I thought to my self, ok, where is this going? She proceeds to tell me: " I saw you a few weeks ago, and thought to myself, motherhood is hard, and she must be putting on some weight. And then I saw you a few weeks later, and thought Oh, Erin, no. But then I decided to text someone else on staff and ask if you were pregnant because I couldn't believe you would let yourself go like that." WTAF? I mean seriously, who says that to someone? I don't care that I am pregnant, that is just rude.
Wtf nausea? I'm 17 weeks and it's still hanging around. I forgot to take my nausea rx last night and immediately knew this morning bc I woke up feeling sick.
WTF pregnancy pillow? You're so comfortable, but getting in and out of bed (namely getting my pillow under the sheets) takes like ten minutes, and of course my toddler has been waking up in the MOTN!!!
WTF scale!! This CANNOT be real life....

Legitimately, I would've sucker punched the twat. Right in the tit.
ETA: I had a fellow coworker mention the same thing to me when I announced to my district of managers during a meeting. She said, "oh I just thought you were putting on weight because of the new position" I told her more cushion for the pushing and I got the idea from her figure. I dgaf about someone's feelings if they are rude.

WTF coworker, if you treat me like I'm too stupid to order supplies one more time I'm going to throat punch you. No you did not ask me forever ago to order tubes. You asked me Monday and said there was no rush so I could put it in with the next order. I haven't ordered since so of course they aren't ordered. Standing over me shaking while I order just makes me hate you more.
WTF hemorrhoids - just why? Why do you have to be a cruel never ending cycle? Oh you got constipated? How about we make it so pooping hurts more than the first 12 hours of labor, that'll help right?
WTF all coworkers? If you interrupt me constantly, I cannot get any of the work done that you keep asking me about! Just leave me alone so I can cross some things off my damn list!
Side note re: stupid comments when people find out you're pregnant. I got an "ohhhhh, I wondered!" response this week when I confirmed to an auditor that I'm expecting (someone brought me a gift and it was sitting on my desk, so fairly obvious). Thanks for implying that I'm looking fluffy. All you need to say is "oh, congratulations!". No commentary necessary, kthxbye.
WTF to my mom. She's been talking to my belly calling the baby weird boy names that I don't like. We found out yesterday we're having a girl. She asked if we've thought of names. I mentioned one that my husband came up with that I like as well. Her response "Ew. Really?" I told her she can keep her comments to herself and I won't be discussing names with her.
WTF cat. Why must you chew up every piece of card board laying around? I already sweep like 5 times a day I don't need you adding on the extra mess! You're a cat not a dog! Stop chewing!!!
Man my coworkers like to piss me off because I have another one. Asked if we had found out the sex yet and I told her it's another girl. First thing out of her mouth was "well that really sucks, you're done after this too right?". Not cool. Don't you think I maybe felt that way too? I don't need someone I'm not close with commenting on the fact too. At least I'm over that whole disappointment baby is a girl now

Of all the inappropriate comments, that one is the one I couldn't just let go. I think I'd go with something along the line of "oh, do you not think girls are as valuable as boys?" and then drop a serious stink eye and walk away.

I was stunned for a second that she actually said that and simply said that while we were a little sad we won't ever have a boy we are thrilled that the free cell DNA test came back with the best possible results and there are tons of people who would be thrilled to have one healthy baby girl let alone two. This totally sums up how I felt

That's one of my favorite gifs of all times. And WTF bump. Why do you keep posting Ben Carson 2016 ads at the bottom of my page? Are you trying to make me hate you even more? You've already taken my beloved smiley faces away.

I second this complaint... WTF indeed. I've named mine Henry... Henry the hemorrhoid.
WTF at how big my ass is getting. Seriously... There is some definite booty explosion happening back there, and it startles the frick out of me every morning when I catch myself in the reflection of windows.

Oh I just literally LOL'd. Maybe if I name mine I can at least laugh through the pain. Sorry honey, no sex tonight, Herbert's being a PITA.
Got asked by one of the other members of the regular wives/girlfriends crew at the hockey game whether we'd started thinking about names yet. I told her that yes, we'd actually already decided 100% on a name, that it is a family name, and that it will be Margaret Theresa.
"Oh. Interesting." It's a perfectly respectable name. More than that, it's a family name.
"Well, she'll sound super Catholic." I... don't see why I should care? I don't have any beef with Catholics.
"Have you thought about Amelia? Or maybe Emily?" We don't need to think about names anymore. We've decided.
"You should have a backup, just in case." In case of what? We're in agreement on this. If she looking so much like a not-Margaret that we absolutely HAVE to change the name, what makes you think a backup name would fit her any better?
"Well, my 30 year old cousin was supposed to be a girl, and he wasn't." Well, there is that possibility (though our results were via DNA testing, not the latest and greatest ultrasound technology from 3 decades ago). Good thing we've already decided on a boy's name too, though, just in case. Also a family name. Also 100% certain.
"Oh. Don't you think that's a little... common?" I. Don't. Care.
"What about Ethan? Or Kenneth?" ....
I try to cut her some slack, because I think she may have a diagnosis or may fit a diagnosis that would explain her consistently terrible social skills and extremely abrasive personality. But good god, I sometimes just want to smack her. My patience is NOT infinite.
Also, WTF weather. Tornado watches in November? And it has to be predicted to be worst from 2-4 AKA nap time for both 1 year olds. PLEASE at least wait til like 3 when they're ready to be awake.

Oh, that's right... a lot of nasty weather predicted for today through a giant swath of the country, isn't there? Be safe, Midwestern bumpies!

I'm in Central Nebraska, we had hail and thunderstorms about an hour ago, now we are getting snow flurries with 30mph. About 80 miles east of here there was a tornado warning earlier today too. Mother nature is having a temper tantrum today.

Yup. The cold from the storm that hit you guys is hitting our relatively warm (50s) weather and getting all sorts of upset about it. We don't have a garage, so I'm hoping the hail/tornados have worked themselves out by the time the storms get here.
WTF at being completely useless at work and wanting to do anything BUT work right now? And it only hurts ME because I've gotta get those billable hours, and I can't bill for bump time!
@Achieverjo Maybe you could negotiate maternity leave if you get an offer for a dream job? I've applied for another job with that in mind... If anything comes of it, I wouldn't make the leap without at least a guarantee of job protection for the DC FMLA time of 16 weeks--and for a better annual salary, I might be able to stomach most of that time being unpaid. I have no idea how well/poorly these negotiations could go though!
@AGK2015, this is why I don't share names until after the baby is born. I learned the hard way with my first one. I'm sorry. I have been there, and it is so annoying.

Yeah, it's the only time it's been an issue so far. So long as I mention that she's named after favorite relatives, people seem to have enough tact to keep their mouths shut. This woman, though... she's a special one. I guess at least if she's harping on about names, she's not offering extremly offensive platitudes to the woman who recently had a miscarriage, or making passive agressive comments about "the sort of women who wear sparkly stuff' to the woman in the glittery top, or loudly narrating the whole damn game as soon as someone else starts talking about something she's not interested in and berating us for not paying enough attention...
@AGK2015, she sounds like a real treat. My middle name is Margaret, and if this LO is a girl, her mn will be Margaret too. I think your pick for a girl is beautiful.

I'm thinking about applying just to see what happens, but I'm pretty sure that would be a tough sell in a red state such as mine.
Texas has some of the worst employee protections in the union. If they didn't discriminate against me for being pregnant, which is illegal but very hard to prove in court, I probably wouldn't get maternity leave.

Ugh, we're supposed to get the crazy storms overnight and then ridiculous wind tomorrow. I remember in 2008 ago we got a number of tornadoes in JANUARY. I live in Wisconsin, that just doesn't happen.

Nope, just went about their "business."
I mean, I am still seething. I think I'll just avoid the office for the next, 22 weeks or so. Ugh!
