Twatwaffle Tuesday

DeePaddy24

Who gets the honour this week?! 

alileecam

The d-bag who stole my credit card number. I had to cancel it and am waiting for the replacement card, which seriously limits my online shopping. If I miss something amazing on Zulily, I am tracking his/her ass down in Michigan myself. 

Is it wrong to say that I look forward to Tuesdays because y'all know some real pieces of work and tell entertaining stories??

DeePaddy24

@alileecam That is the worst!! I'm sorry that happened to you!

I know I read about some real characters during the bitchfest, but hadn't really encountered it fully myself until this morning. I sit in a cubicle farm at work and have the pleasure of sitting next to a woman who spent most of her life morbidly obese until she got a lap band procedure. Now she's borderline anorexic with bulimic tendencies. In any case, her opinions about my pregnancy have reached an all time peak. First, I was wrong to take any nausea medications during my HG. I lost 25 pounds, it was a matter of dehydration. Then I committed a crime by getting my flu shot. How controversial and detrimental to my child! What was my doc thinking?! This morning, she asked how I was feeling (normally I exclaim GREAT! to just shut her up), but today I said, "You know, I'm pretty tired." And I got the dreaded "JUST YOU WAIT." Thank God for the glass between us. Her recommendation? Drink two Mountain Dews. I told her I was working on weaning myself off caffeine during my third trimester, and she said that was the dumbest thing she's ever heard. 

God help me.

@alileecam been there. It blows! 

My twatwaffle goes to a friend I visited yesterday. Haven't seen her since November and haven't talked to her much since she called in December to yell at me that she had to find out about baby #2 from "some stupid card in the mail". Charming.

Anyway, saw her yesterday and she went on about how I was still in that 'in between phase' where you can't tell if I'm pregnant... I was like, oh so you just think I look like I've gotten fat. She says, 'well....yeah.' Thanks buddy! I guess I won't talk about the 100+ Lbeezerz you've slathered on in the past year.

Ugh. Duplicate post.

So I'll add this that I should've said to my pal.

@shannonrnbsn- is this the same morbidly obese woman who keeps making comments about your weight? Or was that someone else? Regardless, smack the B upside her head. Preferably with a chair.

What medical school did she graduate from again? The University of Dumbass at STFU? First off, she shouldn't have an opinion on any of this, but the flu shot=bad and Mountain Dew=good thing is INSANE.

That was someone else, but if HR asks, I'll say the Bump girls said chairs were allowed.

Today's twatwaffle award goes to all of the people on my facebook that keep trying to sell me shit. There is a chick that I used to go to school with that I'm pretty sure only sent me a friend request just so she could message me and ask if I wanted to sign up as a Beachbody coach under her. She has messaged me 4 times now. To the rest of my friends selling various things - scentsy, jamberry, itWorks, or whatever hot new item them have on the market today, no I don't want to buy anything and no I don't want to sign up under you. Sorrynotsorry.

Took real restraint not to unleash my nurse brain on her. I just looked at her with a side-eye and moved on. Your comment is hilarious!

I think my TW is all the randoms who've been cluttering our board with their BS and not using the FREAKING SEARCH FEATURE for crap that's already been addressed 9874651987 times.

I *may* be a bit ragey today.

I guess FIL is a twatwaffle today. Saw him this weekend, and he just says the most ridiculous sh*t without even realizing it, at least I hope. Stand-out gems:

1. The reason Chipotle is having such a bad e. coli and norovirus outbreak is that they use non-GMO beef, since we all know GMO beef is heavily protected against all of those pathogens. 

2. I shouldn't worry about Zika because "it's only over in Africa".

3. When I mentioned we wanted to have a BBQ once this kitchen reno is done, he says "let's just worry about one major thing--having a baby" with this concerned look on his face. Um....we can handle a BBQ in the next 3 months.

@mrsschmity I feel the same way about those people.  I tend to I friend them and ignore the groups they create to try to sell their stuff in. 

Today my twatwaffle is political ads.  We have our primaries today and I've had the Today Show on for less than 30 minutes and have seen no less than 10 ads.  I'm glad they will be gone for a while after today.

@mrsschmity OH.EM.GEE yes it's driving me insane!!!! 

My twatwaffle of the week is H. You guys may remember me saying he's being really annoying about names and won't agree to any that he likes. Well Friday at dinner he informed me he has a list of 3 names at work...that he's had for the past 3 weeks!!!!! I ask him what the names are and he says he "doesn't remember." I bug him a couple times over the weekend but eventually give up because maybe he really doesn't remember. So yesterday I told him to make sure he brings the names home to share with me. Last night at dinner I start asking him and he keeps giving me dumb names that are athletes and clearly not real options. After a few minutes I got extremely frustrated and we ended up fighting because he won't take it seriously. He thinks I'm being so uptight about it and I keep telling him we've known about this baby for 25 Weeks and have gotten nowhere. He goes on to say most people don't decide until they have the baby to which I have to explain people have a short list of names and choose from that unless some other name magically pops in their head. I would gladly be willing to have a short list of names but we have no list right now and he doesn't get why I'm so angry. So now today I'm going to be on my "best behavior" and I swear if he still doesn't tell them to me I'm going to lose it! I apologize for the long rant!

Uggghhh. I'm dealing with a similar issue. Somewhat. I also posted it as an additional rant over on the daily check in. 

From very early on in my pregnancy H and I have had a boys name nailed down. It's both of our dads' names combined for a first & middle name, and we both love it. I never thought we'd have an issue with it or have to have additional conversations about it.

Fast forward to last night. H asked me what I was thinking for a nickname. I don't have much of an opinion on a nickname, but apparently we can't use "Bobby" or "Robby" as a shortened version of Robert because MIL used to date a Bobby who was abusive and it had a pretty significant impact on her. I've heard the awful stories and can understand somewhat, but now H is having second thoughts and wants to consider another boys name if he can't use Bobby or Robby as a shortened version of his potential son's name.

My TW is my emotions today. Today is my husband and I's 2 year anniversary of marriage and the thought that we have survived is affecting me. Our first year was pretty rough financially and it still kind of is today but were doing better than we were back then. Then the reality that this is the last anniversary before we add a baby to the mix has my emotions all over the place. Its been an emotional roller coaster these two years and my mom just dropped by my work to give me a card and that just kind of bumped up my emotions even more. Ugh..dumb hormones!

MsBeachNJ

My TW is my in-laws choice in Easter venues... every year we go to this nice place for brunch and its a big buffet and I really enjoy it. Well this year they've decided to go TO A CHINESE RESTAURANT for Easter lunch... a) I don't eat Chinese food. b) DH lied to me about it. I asked him where we were going for Easter & he says "Peking Palace" and I go, "Ewww, Chinese food? You know I don't eat Chinese food" and he says "No Hun I think there's new ownership & they redid the place into something else they just kept the name" so I look it up, and no, as one would assume, its a freaking Chinese restaurant. When I tell him this, he says "well I never thought you'd look it up" So you were hoping to just surprise me with this after church next week?? Yes, lets make the 7 month pregnant woman sit through 2 hours at a restaurant of food she doesn't eat with smells she can't stand. I'm seriously debating asking him if we can skip it.

I, too, am a little bundle of rage lately. I hadn't been able to log in much over the last few days. Then I do and I see a million question posts by the same name I do not recognize. Not even bothering opening. I did make the mistake of opening a whiny post by someone who only ever posts to whine. 



I'm cranky and I just wanna post snarky gifs for lyfe.

@mrsschmity amen. I've had *that friend* too. Don't insult my intelligence by asking me to buy into your scam.

SO MUCH THIS!!!!! There's a girl I used to work with who sells the Itworks stuff now and she messages me once a week using my baby as an excuse "Hey! I bet with the baby coming you want to make some extra cash, I'd love to give you more info on signing up to do what i do!" I want to strangle her. I had to unfollow her because her posts were so consistently annoying.

I don't know how many people I've had to unfriend because of the ridiculous amounts of posts on whatever they're selling. I'm a Norwex consultant and most people don't even know it because before I ever signed up, I KNEW I didn't want to be one of *those* people.  Ugh. I'm sorry!

My in-laws get my vote today. They can be really nice people, but they can also be super shitty. From the moment my BIL brought my now SIL into the picture, they've just fallen at her feet. They think the moon & stars shine just for her, & they have no problem making that fact well known. When I was planning for our wedding, they couldn't be bothered to help...but when she was planning hers, they dropped everything to help, & threw her an amazing shower. For birthdays they've never done anything for mine...& last year they even got me a meat & cheese basket that had already gone bad. I literally had to fight back the tears when I opened it (as well as try to hold back my gag reflexes because it smelled SO bad). I wish I was joking! Now for hers, they're making a big deal of it & planning a big dinner out...how the hell is that fair?! Maybe it's petty, but I've been dealing with it for 5 years & it never changes...& to be honest, it really fucking hurts. I feel like the only reason I get any positive attention from them now is because I'm pregnant with their first grandchild. 
I'm feeling super hormonal, & dealing with them falling all over her once again is seriously bringing me down.

Tell him buffets are on the no eat list because food sits out, I've actually seen it somewhere before. If he looks it up and can't find it tell him "I didn't think you would look it up"

@sdnybrk hahaha I like the way you think!!!

As usual, today mine is either my DH or my IL's.  After the MIL thread yesterday, I started getting anxious about the hospital and his parents' visits.  I told him this morning that I think we need to set some guidelines with the hospital visits.  I told him that I don't want anyone else there when we introduce the babies to my DS and that I don't want any visits longer than an hour.  Last time his family sat there for three hours, used the bathroom in my room and ate any treats that were brought to me as gifts.  My DH acted like I was being unreasonable.  He says "I just don't know how we can tell people that."  (translation:  I don't dare tell my parents anything that might make them unhappy)  I don't have any problem telling anyone any of that!!  Am I being unreasonable? I told him that I'm going to be pretty overwhelmed with just having twins, I don't need the extra anxiety!  If people (his parents) can't understand this, that's on them!  Ugh!!

 Nope, not unreasonable at all. Your H needs to firm up his backbone and support you.

@mrsschmity That is so frustrating! I understand not wanting those nicknames because of her past but you shouldn't have to throw out the name you guys have been set on when this isn't a new thing that happened! And is Robert from your side? If so I'd tell him we aren't using his dad's name now either (unless you're in love with it). 

@DeePaddy24 I'm so sorry your IL's are like that!! I get worried sometimes because my IL's treat BIL way better than H and I'm sure once he brings home a girl they're going to treat her better than me. One thing I won't stand for is treating any grandkids different and if I ever notice that I will lose it. It's definitely frustrating though
