My WTF today is to the men I work with. The only other female here is our boss. Well, she is gone today and they all act as if that makes it ok for them to stand around with their fingers in their noses doing nothing. Really??? They know that she is going to check reports and times (they load fuel and propane and their little computer saves everything). Then she is going to ask me what the heck happened and why this driver only made 3 deliveries in 8 hours. Please don't make me be the person who had to let her know what a slacker you were being.
WTF to the stray (feral) cat my husband adopted out of our yard. He's being wicked cute, and has stopped all the crazy cat feral behavior, and fell asleep on my lap cuddled up to the baby bump last night.
I don't WANT three cats, but now I also can't bring myself to drop him off at a shelter. Stop being cute and go back to peeing on things please.
@Allisun85 cats really are like a collectors item, you can't just have one or two even. Hehe

My WTF is to the workers at Costco today. I don't know what was up with everyone but they were all so rude. DH actually brought it up. A sample lady got in my face and kept saying "hello, hello, hello". I didn't realize she was speaking to me as there was a huge group around us and DD was nearby so I thought maybe she was talking to her. I looked up and she was inches from my face. Um hello lady... Please don't come between me and my mission to pick up a free sample. Completed red-faced, I apologized for not acknowledging her and explained that I didn't realize she was talking to me as I dashed off as quickly as possible to hide in the aisles of frozen food.
Then the guy at the food counter was shouting at people and being super bossy. It was just not my normal Costco experience. Where are all my fun, social grandmas passing out samples with smiles??!!
My WTF goes to my lovely co-worker who thinks women should be at home making him dinner and rubbing his feet. He can't possibly fathom the idea that women would choose an education and work. Shocker I know.
My patience with him is very short and he had the audacity to ask me if it was my "hormones" today. Nope, nope, nope. I told him my hormones were fine, it was him that was the problem and don't ever ask a woman that either. It's offensive and rude.

@midwestbaby that e-card relates to like 75% of the people in my life. Also my FIL has that mindset that women should wait on him hand and foot. He doesn't understand why DH helps with the cleaning and dinner ect. That's a big reason why MIL and FIL are seperated right now.
WTF to the birds that pooped all over my car this morning. It seriously looks like I parked the car in a birds nest, the entire passenger side is covered! This is especially frustrating because I got it washed 2 days ago.

I have to say I love the idea of a traditional marriage and have no problem with being a stay at home mom in the future after we pay down debt. Because being a stay at home mom is a job! But my problem is just because I chose the same career as a male does not mean I am automatically less intelligent because I have a vagina. It's so hard to work with the guy when everything he says is demeaning.
My DH helps with the household stuff too because we both work full time. If he didn't I would just stop washing his clothes and buying him beer. Ha!

WTF- I found out today that the temp contractor we've had for less than two months that I've been training so she can cover while I'm on my leave is getting paid more than me! She just graduated last May and has only 4 months experience at another job, while I've been working 5 years and am a permanent salaried employee at my job for a year (plus my 1 year of being contract before getting hired).
I've been asking about a raise ever since we got acquired (the new company posts salary ranges we should be in for our job grade in our city of employment, and the website even says to reach out to your supervisor if you're not being paid within the range). Well I'm WELL below the range I'm supposed to be paid, and no updates since December on if that will change. And now I'm training a temp person who gets paid more than me.
I get that contractors sometimes get paid higher than if they're permanent due to no benefits or whatever, but even if she got paid less if we hired her, why should she be paid the more or the same as me for less work and less experience? She won't be doing the same work as I do, she will just be covering the easy things while I'm out while my boss and team cover the rest. WTF?!
I dropped some crumbs under my shirt so I looked down to clean up and what do I find?
Baby chicks instead of my two naked boobs I had all my life until this moment. WTF!!!!!! I even showed DH and we were BOTH amused.
Soft short hair covering my chest and boobs...WTF. Ok I'm still not over this but I'll end it here. No, wait, seriously WTFFFF
Join the club!! But I have back hair now too! I had it my first pregnancy and it all fell out within a month or two after delivery. I seriously felt like Sasquatch since my hair is dark! It makes me feel extremely gross!
WTF to the teenager you muttered "fatty" at me while walking past. I just want to select my heirloom tomatoes in peace. And a double WTF to her mother thst overheard her daughter being a jerk in Trader Joes and dud nothing.

Uh...major WTF! That teenager might have experienced an heirloom tomato to the head if that were me. And at Trader Joes?! TJ's is supposed to be a happy place. Except for their parking lot.
I'm outside DH's office building waiting for him to come out so we can grab lunch. My car is among all the cabs just on standby in front and this businessman just tried to get in my fking car thinking I was his Uber driver.
Not all black SUV's are Uber, you noob! Well, this was a first and major WTF! Good thing I always double triple lock my doors!! I gave him the biggest eyebrow raise as in "WTF, WRONG CAR, mister."
