I would like to start this thread by saying I am ignoring all of my WTFs today because I am taking off Thursday and Friday, so today is basically my FRIDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ok. On 10/28 I reached out to a local shop that makes engraved stainless steel wine glasses to see if they could make some for baby shower hostess gifts. They’re cute, KC centered (I just chose designs he already had, nothing custom) and we all like wine, price point was where I needed it to be. I need 6 for the 2 showers, and asked if he could also do 2 for me to have and gave the dates of the showers, noting that I didn’t necessarily need them all at once, just before each shower etc. The guy responds back same day, sure I can have those done next week (last week at this point). I hadn’t heard back from him so I reached out last night and he informs me he just isn’t sure he can get to them now bc he’s preparing for a big holiday craft show this weekend. Wtf dude I’m guaranteeing you 8 glasses sold and you’re telling me you haven’t done them to make other glasses you hope to sell....I get that booths need inventory but then don’t commit to something you can’t actuslly do, I stopped looking for gifts after we talked bc he said it was fine. At one point he said. “I’m just one man trying to keep everyone happy” whatever dude you’re failing on this end. So I’m assuming he won’t have the 3 I need done this week (based on the fact I asked him point blank and he just didn’t respond), I’m halfway thinking of just going to the holiday boutique he’s prepping for and finding other gifts there! (And then stopping by to tell him nevermind on the $150 worth of merchandise since I had to make other arrangements) Uuuggghhh I had this crossed off my list and now it’s back on the list which just pisses me off. Edited bc typing is hard.
Work. So many WTFs at work right now and too much to type and generally people are just wasting my time in a big, big YUUUUUGE way. Right now I'm just trying to breathe and calm down before I have to leave for my OB appointment. I feel like my BP is up right now from stress so yay perfect timing.
WTF goes to my cat. He is peeing on everything. Last time he did this he was peeing all the time and blood, he ended up having a UTI. This time he's just being a jerk. He ruined my Fawn Design diaper bag by peeing on it, and I put a towel by the back patio door because it's been raining and is muddy and since last night he's already peed on it so bad that the entire house smells like cat pee. I just don't know what to do. And he's my favorite pet, but not right now.
Also, WTF goes to DH. He seems to forget that I'm supposed to be on modified bedrest. The same bedrest that didn't allow me to do much of anything before, but I think he got used to me doing everything again last week and is thinking I'm going to vacuum and carpet clean the house because the dang dog tracked in mud everywhere.
WTF to my toddler. I hate saying that because, you know...she's a toddler and doesn't have control over her emotions, but still. I don't know what happened to my sweet kid. For the last week she has been in complete melt down mode over every little thing. Like, she had a full blown tantrum this morning because she couldn't fit her shoes over her footy PJ's. We're talking, laying on the ground screaming. But of course she wouldn't let DH or me help, because she has also gotten to the phase where she has to do EVERYTHING by herself and flips if you try to help her. I just want my happy baby back! I'm so over the screaming...
WTF to work. I'm on a tight deadline to get testing done (and the deadline keeps changing). But today is the absolute last day. And NOTHING IS WORKING. I feel like I've wasted so many hours testing code that just isn't working. And it is about driving me nuts. This is officially the week from hell.
WTF quick trip coffee cup. My cup of coffee leaked all over my enormous boobs and belly. Might I add in the 1 t-shirt that I still be comfortable in!!! First world problems, I'm aware
I hate complaining about this because I don't want to seem ungrateful but I'm annoyed by it so...
WTF to the woman on the Leave Donation team who is suppose to process / send to payroll the donations. I got an email last Monday that my second PTO donation request had been fulfilled and I could expect to see it in my PTO bank in 1-2 days. Well by last Friday I had not seen it so I called and they said "Oh, she's still processing it.. check next week" why did I get that email then? (insert eye roll) so I just called again because now its been 7 full business days and again "Oh, she's processing it...." uhh hi! I don't know when I'm going on leave and I would LOVE to have the proper amount reflected before I do incase I end up being put out EARLY! I know exactly what I'm in for. Really not a big deal in the grand scheme of things but I just want it to be reflected. It's 41 hours I'm missing! That's a full week of PTO!!
@cyanope I'm so with you. DD threw a tantrum of epic proportions this morning because I wouldn't let her take off her diaper. After breakfast she was fine, then when she saw I had my coffee she had yet another meltdown (she's obsessed with hot things lately, constantly wants to blow on them to cool them down). It's been weeks of this crap because of a cold and teething and I'm just so over it.
Update to my WTF, just got a message from him saying fine he would drop whatever he was doing and work on them now. Kinda made it sound like he’s doing me a favor....and yet I don’t think that’s how monetary transactions work....
Daylight savings can still suck it. We're trying to put DS to bed at the same (clock) time and it's been a mess. How come last week he would play around and drag bedtime out until 9pm and only get in bed when we forced him, but this week he's having exhausted meltdowns in the bath at 7:30? Over it.
Revising my no WTF. WTF to DH who is out of town for TWO WHOLE weeks only partly for work (part to binge drink) who got super defensive when he told me he'd be going out of town this weekend for a drinking festival and said that "he doesn't need my permission" (that was last week though)... this WTF goes to the text I just received from him: "Hey, a bunch of guys from college are talking about going to the Derby next year. Would you be ok with that? First weekend in May."
WTF Mr "I don't need your permission to do things" and WTF with asking now right after we just fought about your fun trips when you already travel for work... wait at least a few weeks. Also it's just a trip to get drunk beyond belief and probably see strippers or something gross.
@JuliaGoolia719 I'd be tempted to fire back "I've already found an alternative gift." And just leave it there...jerk doesn't sound like the best business man (and since we're essentially neighbors I'm also going to that Holiday Boutique this weekend...I'll mean mug him just for you).

Edited to add: I've never been in an accident either so I wasn't entirely sure about protocol. I asked to exchange insurance and he tells me, "No, my truck is fine." Meanwhile, the back door of my Corolla is caved in like an old mine and when I mention it, he tells me I was in the way. I had right of way, he did not. I was driving, he was backing out of a parking spot when not looking and backed into my car. I tried to get out of the way but there was no time and the guy didn't stop moving, even while I'm laying on my horn, until my car stopped his big fat truck from moving. And he refused to give me his insurance information.
Today has been an awful day and I want to go get in bed with chocolate ice cream and cry it out to Christmas movies.
Omg @chellieblueray that is AWFUL!! First, are you ok? Even small slow accidents like that can create quite the bump! Yikes!! And ugh D-bag! You were “in the way” wtf?! He was backing out??? I️ hope you laid on the huge pregnant guilt and ended up getting his info. He was totally in the wrong 100%. If he doesn’t want to go thru insurance (Bc it’s a pain for both) he needs to fork out cash to fix your door!
@chellieblueray oh sh**. I'd be calling the non emergency line to have the cops come and do paperwork. I've been in two accidents, 1 my fault, 1 their fault, and each time I had them come out.
That's when you call the cops, @chellieblueray! You do NOT leave that scene. You write down his license plate number, call the cops, and ask other people to hang out so they can be your witnesses. I also wouldn't have moved my car out the way (so that he was stuck) and waited until the cops got there. That's ridiculous. Of course, safety is the number one priority, so if you feel unsafe, get out of his way...but I definitely wouldn't have moved. Also, I don't recommend this (especially for a pregnant woman), but my BIL had someone try to do the same thing to him, and he followed the guy and called the cops. The guy was driving on a suspended license, and got arrested/his car impounded. My BIL is also in law enforcement (border patrol), and is pretty intimidating (tall and really "buff" haha), so people don't really mess with him too often!
@Chellieblueray that is NOT okay. He is definitely at fault... where were you? I'm sure if it was a public parking lot they have some sort of surveillance videos. I would call them and explain what happened and call the cops non-emergency number. Tell them you were so shaken up when it happened you didn't think to write anything down but now you have a clear head and would like to get this taken care of. There is no reason why you should be paying for damage to your car that he caused and no reason you should have to live with it.
@chellieblueray, I had a similar experience while in college. I called the police. The lady who hit me was cray. I started keeping a disposable camera in my car after that, so that if something similar ever happened again I could take pictures. Now we thankfully have smart phones!
I felt like a complete idiot. I asked him if he was okay when I got out of the car because I actually care about human beings and he didn't even look at me. Like, hello, I'm the pregnant lady and you just backed into my car.
I wasn't able to get more than a phone number and name. And when I called the police, they said it was private property (Wal-Mart parking lot) and I couldn't really do anything without his license plate or insurance, which I didn't have.
I'm okay, baby is okay. My back passenger door is not okay. And without his information, it looks like we will be paying for the door.
But thanks for the tips. I felt like I couldn't really get any information. And then my husband called him and the guy acted like he didn't speak English and said he doesn't have a truck.
@chellieblueray I know it doesn't help completely because it's still your insurance, but mine has an underinsured/uninsured policy for situations like this where the other persons insurance won't cover the damage or you get hit and don't get their information (kinda like a hit and run or parking lot hit). Check with your insurance and see. It will still cost you, but maybe not as much. Glad you are ok, but do watch for the next couple days because the pain/soreness could creep in over time and your body won't register it right off. Also, I feel like you deserve some ice cream or something to make the afternoon better! Hugs girl
@conineml I thought the same thing but DH and I debated on the uninsured motorist and decided against it. We've had it before but I guess we took it off for this new policy. Now I feel like kicking myself. It seems like it's always in a situation where you actually need something that you realize you don't have it.
@chellieblueray so glad you and baby are ok! Accidents are never easy to deal with. I'm sorry that guy was being such a jerk to you, too. I hope you're able to work something out so he ends up paying for the damage!
@chellieblueray Yikes, I hope everything is ok! My doctor told me to go straight to L&D if I was in so much as a fenderbender (although I totally backed into a dumpster last week like a moron and didn't go... but... )
@Shanski70 I am so tempted, slso if I haven’t heard back by Friday that they’re actually done I’m totally just getting a ticket to the Holiday Boutique bc I think it’s the only place I’ll find other gift ideas lol. I wish this was a better experience bc the stuff I saw of his up at the Lenexa Public Market is super cute and I was thinking of getting DH something Jayhawk themed as a “yay new job” gift when the time comes!
@chellieblueray ugh, that situation blows but I'm so glad to hear you and baby are okay.
I'm updating my WTF to incorporate MH. I've literally had 3 days of non stop stressful work, and today I finally got it all done, despite getting almost no sleep and being up since 330am. I sent him a message saying all i wanted to do was come home and relax after work, bc I'm exhausted and stressed. I get home to find he has a headache and has been napping since 4pm (I got home at 6pm). So then I end up having to cook dinner and clean up after dinner. He then has the nerve when he finally rolls out of bed at like 730 to ask me if I've fed the pets. No because it is your job to do it at night. Like seriosuly, why do men get all pathetic when they don't feel well? I am exhausted and tired, and yet I mnagaed to get all my work done, cook dinner and clean up. Oh yeah, and I'm almost 32 weeks pg, so im super uncomfortable all the time. Seriosuly the human race would not go on if men had to carry babies and be the responsible adults.
@cyanope I am right there with you with the toddler tantrums. My sweet, snuggly boy has turned into demon spawn. I can’t even get him buckled into the car without a major meltdown just because. And forget sitting in a shopping cart. Yesterday he threw a fit in the seat and bashed his head into the handle bar. Thank God for a sympathetic check out lady who said she was surprised her 14 year old made it past 2 with all the times he bashed his head
It's killing me, @Cricket99. And I hear 3 is worse?? Please, NO!! Thankfully she was a perfect little squishy, lovey angel yesterday. I felt like I had my kid back. Let's hope it lasts (although I highly doubt it!).
Oh god oh god oh god, I need a WTF Thursday. My wonderful supportive boss who wants to promote me got promoted instead and is leaving at 3pm today and never coming back.
