On today's episode of IDGAFF

On today's episode of "I don't give a flying fuck" we feature the obnoxious co-worker who gives unwanted advice and sticks to it like it's the Bible.

Co-Worker: "It's cold but it's such a glorious day for a walk."
Me: "That's nice." *while thinking "All I want for Christmas is to punch this annoying bitch in the face"*
Co-Worker: "Do you take walks?"
Me: "Probably not as often as I could."
Co-Worker: "Well you need to. If you don't take walks you will get blood clots in your legs."

Yes, because every pregnant person ever, who hasn't gone on walks dedicated to walking, has developed blood clots in her legs. GTFO. Also, no, I'm not going to go walk on the icy sidewalks of the city of STL on my lunch break when it's 10 degrees and risk breaking my ass and hurting my baby when I fall on the ground.

What do you not give a FF about today?

    Oh I know, every time I see my FIL he asks me if, "I'm taking it easy." 

    Dude. I'm not sick.

    The other day when a co worker starting talking about some radio show with a segment on shit. Like actual bowel movements.
    IDGAFF!
    Oh and she regularly criticizes my weight, size and food choices. Fuck off.

    yes this. i hate it most when they're total strangers!

    Mine is when I'm reading through a topic and it's all nice and funny and I'm enjoying the comments... then suddenly people are arguing.. IDGAFF so I just stop reading. (right now, it's the UO topic)

    I get mainly older people shocked that I'm still working at a bar and plan to stay working there through pregnancy and then go back afterwards too. First off, I love my job. Second, there is no smoking in bars here anymore. And last, I'm not wearing short shorts and belly shirts while pouring vodka straight out the bottle from atop the bar. Geesh, my employer has been nothing but supportive.

    I love my grandmother, but EVERY SINGLE TIME I talk to her she tells me I really shouldn't be working!  Uh lady, I have bills and need to pay them.  Also, I sit at a desk all day.  How is that any different from me sitting around at home?  At least this way, I get paid.

    Oh the joys! I wanted to throat punch my MIL (who lives with us) last night when I'm doing the floors and she's sitting on her recliner watching tv mind you! oh honey you shouldn't be doing that right now! I look up and say (because I couldn't stand it anymore) well whose going to do it if I don't? She just looked away and kept her mouth shut. My husband almost came out of his skin I think..

    You know, I never got that take it easy stuff from anyone when I was pregnant the first time around, except DH. But at work? Nope.. go on and haul in all 20 of those 50lb bags of dog food by yourself. Feral cat? Here ya go, have fun! Dog aggressive Great Dane? Why don't you walk him up past every other dog in the shelter so this guy perfectly healthy man doesn't have to walk back there like every other person ever? I worked at a Humane Society 1st time round, the only benefit was DD was so used to the sound of dogs barking by the time she was born, when our own dogs barked she didn't bat an eye..

    I have a coworker who starts having unsolicited one-way conversations with me when I'm clearly working. Pretty much daily. She's very nice but when I'm clearly busy...IDGAFF about (fill in the blank with topics such as her cats waking her up early and her grandmother not liking the bean burgers she makes).

    I'm so tired of MIL telling my DH to do everything for me, as if I were handicapped! I mean sure, there are some things he obviously should do... Or that I want him to do (because I'm lazy). But go as far as telling him to hold my purse because it's a lot of weight for a pregnant woman? Lady, it's a purse, not a Mary Poppins bag.
    Perhaps secretly I'm a mean person, because I like sitting on the floor or carrying things (which aren't even heavy, like a 12 pack of pop or something) to watch my MIL twitch and try to insist I shouldn't be doing that.  (We have a good relationship, I just think it's funny that she switches from her usual not-demonstrative self to Captain Protector Lady when I'm pregnant.)

    Coworker for me as well. She told me I needed to "stop worrying about myself and start focusing on the baby" when she overheard me telling another coworker about my work out schedule/4-5 pound weight gain. Ummm, lady, I work out and monitor my weight gain for this baby! (I'm already chubby :\"> )

    How about IFGAFF about anything? It's been one of those days...
    And what's wrong with shoveling snow? I've been doing that and scraping off DH's car because he leaves about 30 min earlier than me for work. It's how I get my my exercise these days, since it is way to cold to go for a walk.

    This.  I want to say "I feel fine, I just look like shit cause I'm lazy!" It's a week before Christmas break, of course I'm tired!

    This exactly! My birthday was last Monday, and I could not think of a single thing I wanted "for me"  - just baby things that we will need. Everyone got upset and said I was being difficult (I normally LOVE my birthday, and start a list in like, June!) So shouldn't the fact that I don't want a single thing for me be a hint that we really do need baby things!? 

    FYI - I got lots of maternity clothes (I'm barely showing yet)

    Every time I eat lunch at work my one coworker says "oh someone's got the munchies!" No...it's lunch time...and I want to eat like a normal person would.

    He's also the one who asked "oh was it because of the baby?" when I was out sick with the stomach virus that went through my entire family.

    Things that bother me....

    My Dad, of all people INSISTING that I breastfeed! My Mom couldn't breastfeed us, we turned out fine. So I don't know why he's concerned. He wasn't even breastfed! Plus, I'm constantly telling people that I haven't even made up my mind yet!

    Every single time I hear baby's heartbeat, and tell my Mom what it was, she ALWAYS says "How do you know that's normal?" Um, cause my doctor told me so! Baby's beats have been around 164-174 bpm. My Mom was the one who told me that a baby's heart beat is fast and yet somehow thinks that my baby's rate is just way too fast!

    My grandmother freaks out on me over the phone about me gaining normal pregnancy weight! She thinks because I'm plus size and lost 100 pounds that I should still be losing weight during the pregnancy. Every weekly call is a barrage of "make sure you eat right" "make sure you're exercising" "you don't want to backtrack on all the weight you lost" "all that extra weight can cause birth defects" "I'm scared you're going to blow up in weight again".... It just goes on and on!

    I'm pregnant for fuck's sake! I love the woman but she is obsessed with my weight and how "unhealthy it is", even though I do 5Ks and work out and other than an increase in carbs, stuck to a predominantly balanced, organic diet!

    Sometimes I just want to tell my gram to shove it!

    I wish my husband would tell me to take it easy.  Getting him to help me with anything is like pulling teeth.  I asked him to take the trash out and his response was "I don't understand how this is the ONE THING you can't do.", fully admitting I do every other goddamn thing around the house.  And when I tell him that I'm feeling a little crampy from being on my feet all day hauling around a 30 lb 2 year old,  he tells me to eat a cookie.  Seriously, motherfucker?  Eat a cookie? Hope your ass likes sleeping on the couch.

    Then, today, I get a sadface text form him about being in an investigation at work. IDGAFF, Asshole!

    I think your husband and mine are the same person.  We got in a big fight about this earlier in the week.  He only works 10 days a month, yet manages to do no housework.  When I asked him to clean up the dog turf, he wanted to know why I couldn't, which, PS, I have NEVER done.

    hcorcoran, I am thankful for the gardeners we have that pick up dog poop, or I'd probably be doing that too! 

    I do have to say he works hard at his job, and up until recently was working 12-14hr days, 6 days a week.  I have a little of pity on him then.  But when he's only working a regular work day, he can come home and be halfway helpful.  He thinks his duty as a husband/father (during the week, anyways) ends with him working and making the money.  It's how he was raised and what he thinks is normal. It just drives me crazy because I do need help sometimes.

    @buggwhips- that is hard.  I work full time right now, so when I came home from my 10 hour day on Wednesday and he hadn't done the damn dishes(after being off for 6 days IN A ROW) I lost it!

    Vague status updates on Facebook... "So frustrated" (about what?) "need prayers today" (for what? What's going on?) "just can't win" (um, ok what happened?). If you feel the need to post about how terrible your day/life is, don't be vague. You're just looking for people to ask you what's wrong. I just skip right over that crap. If you want my sympathy, just come out with it rather than fishing for people to ask what's wrong.
    Ah yeah, good ol' VagueBooking. Ain't nobody got time fo that!

    AHH! I can't stand these people! And what makes it worse is that if you ask "what's wrong" the response is ALWAYS.."I don't want to talk about it" or "I don't want my personal life on facebook." THEN WHY POST IT?!?!
    Agreed!  Facebook is not a substitute for a diary.
