WTF Wednesday

dpjennifer

It's that fun time of the week again.  What has made you go WTF?!?! this week?

tlq0726

WTF weather?!?!  Can you please get your s#!t together???  60 degrees in the morning and 95 by the afternoon is not cool.  I'm tired of waking up with dry skin all over my face that needs to be sloughed off like it's the dead of "winter."  It's just uncalled for, ok?

Since DH and I are tta at the moment, we are using condoms. So the other night, I told him he didn't have to use one and when we were finished, DH says "wouldn't that be crazy if I just got you pregnant?!" Me: "well dear, my period is due tomorrow so.....no."

WTF dude, we already have a child, I thought you knew how this worked already.

@pumpkin0913 - it took awhile for my DH to finally get it and we also already have a kid.

When you bring kids to a museum and tell them not to touch the art....and then they touch the art.

@justsuzie sometimes they are more trouble than they are worth.
I got pretty pissed at the 4th graders at school yesterday. The kids had speeches that were presented last night, and the 4th graders started laughing at the two kids who had a speech problem and attend therapy once a week. Young kids can be so mean.  
We had a "nice" conversation this morning on how that was very rude and how much guts that took for those two boys. 

justsuzie

@rklinge0  I am at the point where I just look at them and say, stop, you are annoying and rude.  End-of-year teacher patience. 

SP128

I hate how the 8th graders get senioritis and they are just plain obnoxious. Come to think of it some of the adults I work with become unbearable around this time too

Chawk17

I love teacher talk! My first graders are going nuts since its gotten warm. Today I gave up and we went and played shadow tag. Anything to keep my sanity

ladipale

The student insanity continues into college! I've had a bunch of emails today from people trying to get into my closed classes for fall quarter when there is another section with 20 spots. Nope. Not going to happen!

also- wtf sister in law. I do not need an email from you about how you won't be golfing 18 holes because "I'm six months pregnant. Ha!"  F YOU. Show some damn compassion when you send emails. 

Also- WTf little sister who teaches stroller fitness to a big group of moms. Do NOT post articles from a not super credible source about the dangers of sunscreen and how you are CRAZY about sunscreen and only use zinc oxide. You are judgemental and shaming. 

Chawk17

@ladipale take it as a compliment that everyone wants to be in your class! Annoying about the emails but still cool.

ladipale

@Chawk17 - totally! i do, but I still don't want 90 students when other prof has 15

vlagrl29

I had no idea there were so many teachers here! This is why I teach privately - there is no way I could handle an entire group of kids.

Chawk17

@vlagrl29 how many kids do you teach? What grade..i feel like you've said but I forgot.
I have 23 ...7-8 year olds ( first grade). Somedays it feels like 50! Especially with a behavior kiddo. Yesterday mine destroyed my room. UGH. I have a behavior clip chart and he totally threw a fit and ripped everyone's clip off. Through stuff around the room. A tazmanian. 16 days left..but I'm not counting...right?!

SP128

Hahaha. I'm not a teacher. I bow down to the classroom teachers. I wouldn't be able to handle it. I'm a school psych 

Chawk17

@SP128 I bow down to you- all the paper work for SPED referrals and dealing with individual student needs...that's hard!

tlq0726

@justsuzie I’ve come to learn kids will do the EXACT OPPOSITE of what you tell them to do. 

@rklinge0 I’m impressed you had the patience to have a nice conversation with those kids.

@Chawk17, @SP128 I think the kids, and most staff, are going nuts everywhere.  We’re SO CLOSE!!!!

@ladipale WTF sil indeed!  How hurtful for you.  I’m sorry your sil is being a butt.

vlagrl29

@Chawk17- currently I have 9 students.  4 kids and 5 adults.  I'm hoping to get a couple more this summer.  I'm always looking for more students.

my WTF happened this morning - DH's car window came down and now is not coming back up to shut   Who knew that repair would be around $300 to fix?  WTF!  can't catch a break financially it seems.  I already told DH it's not coming out of our Efund.  Normally it would but not now.

MooFish2364

Ugh! That sucks. The same thing happened to my window. It was a pain because they had to order the part so it was stuck down and of course I got caught in a thunderstorm. I was soaked and so was my car. It was awful. I'm sorry you have to deal with that. 

vlagrl29

@MooFish2364- there is a chance it could just be the tab that broke and that would be a cheaper fix so we are hoping its that.  DH found a place that will let him rent a car for $10 for the day so I'm not stuck driving him everywhere today.

vlagrl29

also I had a consult with 3 OBs over a year ago for a future VBAC and this one I wanted to go with her billing person sent it with wrong code and billed us at $215 for a freaking consult.  I'm having DH take care of that today because they ended up sending us to collections during that time and that really pissed me off.  The other 2 doctors didn't charge for consult.  I should not have to owe for something that was to be taken care of by insurance. errrrg!  F*ck the vbac I can't even seem to get pregnant again so I sure as hell don't care which way a baby comes out.  Glad I have a new OB.

captainfoxtrot

My WTF is my partner going back to work today feels too soon. She has said numerous times she will stay home with me and keeps asking if she should, so she's very supportive... but I also know her and know ripping off the bandaid is the best thing for her. Just sucks.

vlagrl29

And DH and I are literally waiting to be seen by my old OB. She wouldn't come and see us to talk about this bill. DH almost lost his cool so we are waiting for a nurse to talk to us. I'm so nauseous.

vlagrl29

They wouldn't let us talk to billing or the nurse. We were just waiting in the waiting room. I said I'd make an appt with with billing or doc to discuss how the bill was messed up. Nothing crazy went on. They ended up calling the cops! The cop actually thought he was at the wrong location because it seemed so peaceful. 

tlq0726

WTF indeed @vlagrl29!!!  What kind of crazy people call the cops for someone wanting to discuss a bill???

SP128

@vlagrl29  Just wow.  I'm sorry you had to go through that.  Ridiculous

amberruka

@vlagrl29 Dude! I've only had to call the cops on patients that are actually threatening or I feel I'm in danger (like, twice in 3 years). That's insane!!

vlagrl29

ya'll know I'm a yogi and very much love peace and avoid confrontation at all cost lol.  So when the cop came I pointed him in the direction of the receptionist.  I will admit DH did get annoyed that the doctor wouldn't even visit us to resolve the matter not to mention all the times I called the billing dept and never got a call back.  when they finally did resubmit it the ins wouldn't cover it because too much time lapsed.  I'm just very happy I have a new OB and don't have to deal with that.  Meanwhile sitting in the office remembering when I was so hopeful of getting pregnant last august during my annual - to my loss in December and her thinking the HSG was giving me false positives on the preg test. - then putting me on prog supplements when in fact I didn't even need it.

They promised the nurse would be out to talk to us when in fact that was never going to happen and the cops came instead.  They basically wanted us off their property.  DH took a photo of both cops next to the doctors building sign.  He's going to write bad reviews everywhere online of her and include the photo.

Now I have to dispute it with the collection agency.  I may also call my old insurance company and see if they can help me out.

justsuzie

@vlagrl29 You win.  That sucks, and wtf is all I am thinking.

As for me, the highlight of my art show and also my wtf:

Chawk17

@vlagrl29 that is messed up.  I used to work for an OB office. NEVER had to call the cops. Just would refer patients to the billing dept. What was their deal? Good grief. Good thing you changed OBs.

vlagrl29

Yes I win all the WTFs this week and they all happened in 1 day!  I shouldn't have any for a couple more weeks.

DH wrote a very lengthy review today and has already posted it to 4 sites online tonight.  He's on a mission lol.  He even is attaching the cop photo to some of them.

It's just unfortunate and it's only over $215 but I shouldn't have to pay it.  I tried my hardest to work with them before it got to this point but they never worked with us.  I tried my best to not say a word and let DH do all the talking but I did get annoyed a couple times and let them know.

@Chawk17 - I called they billing dept and the guy was horrible and would never return my calls.  I think they got rid of him and haven't replaced him yet.

Also a sad thing I learned today is our blue cross is pulling out of the exchanges for 2018   that only leaves us with cigna for 2018 and the coverage with them is just not as good.  Like I don't think my OB accepts them.  I'll do more research this fall when DD goes back to school but I think I might check out those cost sharing plans you hear about.  At least we'd be able to keep our doctors.

tlq0726

Now that's funny @justsuzie

rklinge0

So sorry @vlagrl29 I would even mention it being insurance fraud if they didn't bill it correctly, which then should make you not liable.
I am fighting one of my miscarriage bills right now because they are billing as non ob.  

vlagrl29

Yeah that's what DH said to do @rklinge0

ill call Coventry Tuesday.

SP128

My WTF came late this week so bare with me.  My mother gave me the option of doing Mother's Day after her vacation, which I obviously took.  She came back from her cruise yesterday and informed me that her Mother's Dinner is next Saturday at 7 pm.  I asked her why dinner and not lunch (I already knew when she was doing dinner it would be more than just her!).  I asked her who she invited and she said your aunts.  I asked her why and her explanation is that she doesn't have any children.  The aunt she is referring to I can tolerate since she was really good to me when I was little.  I know your "aunts" means at least two more free loading ones. One of them my DH caught rummaging through our stuff when we were staying at my mother's house when we had some lag time between the house we sold and the one we bought.  The other one is just a douche. None of which spoke to me at my wedding.  All chewed and screwed.  

Here is the catch, no one ever reaches for their wallet when it is time to pay.  Everyone needs to go to the bathroom when the meal is over!  Sometimes, the douche of my aunt has a to go container ready to take home leftovers for her husband before we even start eating!! We do family style dining.  

To boot, my mother is going to yell at me to get pregnant.  WTF!!!

Probably will have to hear about my freeloading cousin/wife and how they just had their May baby.  Ummm.. I was supposed to have a May baby.  Ummm, I can afford a baby and not live off the state!!   WTF!!!!

End rant.

amberruka

Rant away girl..... do you really have to do this?

vlagrl29

I'd would want to skip it @sp128 freeloaders are not cool.

Chawk17

Sooo are you going to have to pay for your aunts? Or is your mom going to pay for them since she invited them??!!

SP128

Ummmmm it's her Mother's Day dinner that she arranged herself!!  Mother's Day!!!  Not your entire side of the family day!!! If my brother is there he will prob pay as her present. It is expected that the "kids" pay. I don't remember the last time that anyone of my aunts paid. This is the reason why I only do mandatory outings with them

i  wish I could get out of this......  

then in a couple weeks I'll have to take her to my fathers grave for Father's Day and have to endure another interrogation of the status of my uterus 

wtf 

thanks for letting me rant!

vlagrl29

Sorry @sp128  

SP128

BTW, my mother and brother don't drive so any outing is me chauffeuring.   I live in the next city over, but a good 20 minutes each way.  No biggie when you aren't the one driving and paying for gas.
