Wtf coworker. Don't beg and plead for a name and then try to change my mind because you don't like it. This is exactly why no one else is going to find out before she is born.

Yup. Makes my family so frustrated because we didn't share DS name and we aren't sharing this one until after babe is born.
And I'm glad because we changed DS name two weeks before he was born because we came across it and fell in love with it.
WTF Donald Trump. You make representing America abroad a breeze, particularly in a Muslim-majority country. And I loved trying to put your remarks into context for my Muslim nanny this morning as I was going out the door. She is already a little scared of coming back to DC with us (because of ISIL), I'm beginning to wonder if maybe it's not what's best for her.
WTF BIL& SIL? If you ask why I am not having a second baby shower I'm going to tell you so no need to be offended at MY response on MY feelings about it. Maybe you see nothing wrong having a second 200+ person baby shower for a same sex baby only 2 years after your first but I personally do not agree with it. If you are going to be offended by any opinion that differs from yours, don't ask! Can't people agree to disagree?!? #typicalmillennial
WTF Neighbor's Rooster? No need to let me know its time to get up at 4am! I already couldn't sleep form a bad dream and you decided you needed keep me up for the remainder of the morning.
Wtf to my future sister in law, that hasn't spoken to me since February for my fiancé's Nana's funeral. Just messaged me last night out of the blue to ask what medication I'm on during pregnancy, because depression is hard. When I told her I haven't been on medication since May of 2014 she started giving me the riot act, saying I'm being super irresponsible for not treating myself during such a delicate time. Um... No?
My mental illness has been manageable for over a year without medication, not that that's any of her business, and I'm well aware of how dangerous I can get when I'm in high stress situations. I've already been talking to my OB, and primary about the risks of post partum, as I'm an incredibly likely candidate for it, and we've worked out a game plan for what signs to look out for, as well as when my fiancé should step in.
I'm already a little guilty because I had a very horrible first trimester from stress, and there have been numerous studies produced showing the mental health of mom affects the future cognitive development and mental health of children. Between losing a really well paying dream job (the family I nannied for moved three hours away) getting pregnant (which I had to come to terms with as "You can never have kids" was my Dr's mantra for the past four years) having early complications which put me on bed and pelvic rest for almost a month, our at the time room mate kicking us out so he could move back in with his mom a week after we told him I was expecting, and letting go of our wedding plans I was waist deep in at the time, then living with another friend for three months and the unnecessary drama that accrued, I had a lot on my plate!
My life is going waaaay better now, so to get a message about me being irresponsible for not being on medication just pisses me off. I'm not "acting like a saint" as I'm being accused of, or "bringing unnecessary stress to the baby." If I needed medication, I'd be on it. Period. It's not the first time I'd be going back on it after a long bout of going without, so if I got to that point I would take it.
Now I have to get out of bed and actually start my day >.>

WTF to the maintenance guy at work. He wanders around (I assume) every morning and "checks the water" in each bathroom every morning. Every office on my floor has a private bathroom in the offices so he walks in EVERY morning to check everyone's water and has a 20 minute convo with whomever will oblige about football or whatever subject the person will engage in conversation...every.fucking.morning...GO AWAY! We've got shit to do. I'm pretending to be on a phone call as I type this because he's in the office next to mine and I'm next.
WTF ultrasound office scheduler. Yesterday when you called so I could make an appointment for my A/S I said today and tomorrow would not work so I scheduled for Friday afternoon. Yet I get a call today to pre register for an appointment TODAY. Then when said scheduler called to see what the problem was she flat out denied having even given me Friday appointments as an option since the doctor my OB requested I see isn't at that location on Fridays. The options became today or after Christmas. I took today which means DH can't go because he has a meeting close to the appointment time and then has to get his butt to the airport
I am in Chicago. And if you haven't been following the news a police officer shot a 17 year old, who was walking away, 16 times. Mayor Rahm Emanuel ( and other city leaders) tried really, really hard to cover it up (including 5 million in hush money) Rahm is addressing Chicago City Council now. He keeps saying 'I work for you' and yet the hearing is closed to the public and he wont take questions.
Typical Chicago.
I am tired of my great city getting such a terrible (albeit deserved) reputation.
ETA: now Rahm is crying while finishing his speech.
WTF to my students when they ask me what to do with their tests when their done...when I told them to turn it in right before I passed it out...when the procedure for turning in ANY work is ALWAYS the same...and on the board is says "turn in test to bin"...
Wtf work? Why would you fire a temp who actually comes to work every day, people like her and she does her job? SHE FUCKING FLOATS between departments to help out where she can. I really wanted her to fill in for me while I am out on maternity leave.
Wtf body? I used to work 12-16 hours on my feet and be fine, just a few years later I can't stand in my kitchen for a few hours to prep meals? Get your shit together, body! I'm too young for this exhaustion and pain, and I refuse to believe pregnancy is making me a pansy!
WTF to the supervisors asking me who of their staff attended a training? They're YOUR staff. YOU'RE responsible for them and I'm nobody's caretaker. Get it together.
WTF body?? FOR THE LOVE OF GOD stop expanding!!!! I'm seriously running out of clothes and it's making me sad.
WTF body#2: Why do you swell and bloat all up from eating ANYTHING? Including foods that aren't supposed to make you bloated?? I'm going to be so miserable the next half.
WTF body#3: Why is everything inside pushing up against my lungs I can hardly breathe anymore??

There is so much in this post that shows how strong you are, demonstrates your resilience, and all sounds like you're taking a longer-term and healthy approach.
Hang in there - don't let her ruin your day or prey on your mind - doesn't sound like she's worth it and you've so much more to look forward to and focus positive energies on.
I've never worked out how to do a gif on my mobile otherwise I'd insert something suitably smiley and hopefully humourous. You'll just have to imagine that!

------Edited for quote fail-----Unbelievable (or maybe depressingly believable). I'm in Chicago as well, was wondering how Rahm's speech would go. Not at all surprised to hear that it was underwhelming. Not at all surprised to hear that protesters are marching downtown, either. The whole thing--the Laquan McDonald situation and everything that's followed it--just makes me so sad and hopeless and tired. Not that I'd expect a replacement mayor to be much better, but I really wish Rahm would step down at this point. It's not just the police department that Chicagoans don't trust.
WTF manager from a different department calling me up right before I'm taking my lunch to ask if I'm coming to your 4 hour meeting to take minutes? LOL! You ain't my boss and you sure as hell didn't ask me in advance to do this so that I might have switched my schedule around. Also, my boss is going to the same meeting and never indicated to me once that I need to be there. IN YO' FACE!
Today's WTF goes out to my husband. Last night as were getting ready to get in bed, he asks if we have any Twizzlers (not actually a WTF moment, I'm used to that kid of thing from him). I mention that they're aren't any, unless he's hidden them from me, and be gets this crazed look on his face and starts telling me that he's about to blow my mind. He runs towards the kitchen, I hear all kinds of rustling, and when he comes back, he has half a back of Sweettart Hearts, which they only make around Valentine's Day, and which are my absolute favorite. Mind blown, all right.
The WTFs: A. Why did he steal half a bag of my candy and hide it?! He doesn't eat them, so I know I'm the one who ate the first half. B. How the heck does he have a candy stash I don't know about?! Where has he been keeping it?! C. What other delicious treats is he hiding from me?!

Stop making me laugh! It hurts my throat! This is the sweetest WTF I've ever seen on here, props!
Wtf to my small human I'm growing. I love you but this whole bouncing off my bladder/ karate stuff you are doing in there is driving me crazy tonight . Please go to sleep before you make me throw up or pee myself.

Peeing yourself is only funny the first time. Even then...it wasn't all that funny.

It's only happened once when I vomitted with force but I've had to check myself a couple of times after sneezing. I laughed because I couldn't cry at work!
WTF makers of maternity pants: why no belt loops? I am sick of these things sliding down all the time.
WTF people need belts on maternity pants? My planet-sized ass holds mine up just fine
Mine have been driving me CRAZY. I have a gigantic ass that stretches them out, so I spend half the day pulling them back up.
I've been sticking mostly to leggings and the only gripe I have is that the crotch seems to hang low after I wear them for a while, but nothing else seems to stretch out.

PSA: I bought three pairs of reasonably professional-looking work pants from Kohls for stupid cheap (like 15 bucks a pop)... There are belt loops on all of them (though I'm firmly in the no belt required category). And there's plenty of stretch, since they're in small/med/large/xl instead of actual number sizes.
WTF protester with a megaphone outside of my office window! Will you ever stop ranting? I need to think about the cable I'm writing, and that's impossible with your ceaseless chanting. Sometimes it sucks to be located next to city hall; this one isn't even targeted at us!
Ok a day late... but this happened yesterday so it still counts...
WTF to DH's coworker at the company holiday dinner last night... He and his SO had to leave early to get the kids so everyone got up to say goodbye. He gets around to me (DH is in the bathroom BTW and saw none of this) and says excitedly, "Ok, I have to do this..." and he kneels down, grabs my belly and kisses it. Then gets up and shakes hands/hugs the next person like it's all good, nothing weird here...
WTF?!?!?
I didn't know what to do... what the hell do you do when someone kisses your belly?!!?!

I'm a day late but WTF DH? WTAF were you thinking, leaving chocolate on the coffee table and letting the 6-month-old puppy run around unsupervised while you showered? She has consistently gotten into things she shouldn't when she doesn't have a bone, and I know she didn't have one. Hopefully she didn't eat much and she's big enough to digest it because I can't leave work to sit with her.
If she dies before I get home, I'm putting her kennel outside and DH can take care of it when he gets home. I really, really hope I just have to clean up some vomit and keep her hydrated.
He had better be more aware of what he's doing when he's home alone with our child.
My pit bull ate an entire twix bar (packaging and all) when she was about 8 months old...it was on the kitchen table. Also, recently she's eaten SO's Hershey bar left on the coffee table and just last week she ate my peppermint bark, bag and all. She's still alive and kicking.
I am pretty sure the chocolate vs dog this is mostly related to large amounts of dark chocolate. Of course, the size of your dog and the amount of chocolate matter. My dog is 60 lbs. so a half of a chocolate bar wont likely kill her.
My WTF is also a day late, since today is the first day I've stepped on the scale this week. I'm up another 3 pounds in a week. Which would make sense if I was eating very much, but I'm not. I didn't even eat much for dinner last night (one small banana bread muffin). So WTF body? Does science cease to apply during pregnancy???
@allaire314, that is SO super awkward. I think I would either be too stunned to say anything, or would knee him in the face while he was down there.
