WTF Wednesday

kristine526 · February 2014

Its snowing in much of the country, so I'm sure someone else has said WTF this morning. What's your reason?

83edwards · February 2014

WTF tax season....I don't have enough time for ANYTHING else

WTF light people....you are suppose to be improving my light situation, but instead not the bulbs don't match

WTF self why do you keep waking up at 4 am

WTF husband why can't you stop snoring?

kristine526 · February 2014

WTF OB's office? Last storm we had 12" on the ground and I called to cancel my appt. You guys were there. This time, there's about 3", I can still see the damn grass and you cancel on me! And then have the nerve to say "oh, you were planning on coming?"

No bitch, I'm just dressed, ready to walk out the door, and skipping work for NO REASON. Even worse, I passed on a bowl of ice cream last night for fear that it would skew my glucose test. I SKIPPED ICE CREAM FOR THIS SHIT! You bet your ass I was coming.

This week blows.

Kaylee524 · February 2014

Yeah mine is definitely snow-related:

WTF workplace? Why are we not closed? My 6-months-pregnant self had to dig through 8 inches of snow and ice to get my car unstuck from my street - and now that we're here we've cancelled all deliveries and receiving? And the CEO who makes the final call AND his assistant are both not coming in? What was the point of me digging myself out?

Mimaloo · February 2014

WTF new doctor's office - I spent all of last night and a good chunk of this morning researching and deciding where to go after leaving my OB. The practice I finally decided on won't schedule an appointment until AFTER they receive and review my records from current OB...never heard of this before.

RachelCA29 · February 2014

WTF auto-flushing toilets at work for flushing before I was ready, then flushing an extra time for no reason!

WTF watch clasp for coming opening the exact moment my hand was over said auto-flushing toilet, falling in, and said watch getting flushed away!

I am now paranoid about all my jewelry getting accidentally flushed at work. Luckily I got the watch for 1/2 price on Black Friday. But still, it was a nice watch!

Jillzy86 · February 2014

WTF my OB cancelled our appointment this morning because of the snow. I found this out after I swept all the snow off our cars.

AnnieA75 · February 2014

WTF Local News -- We're in Northeast Ohio. It snows here all the time. All.the.time. Why is it necessary you pre-empt all national programming to show me pictures of cars driving up and down the highway and side streets for 3 hours straight?!?!?! And why are you rushing a news crew out to some location to shoot footage of a school bus in a ditch - a bus that doesn't even have kids on it. This is ridiculous and it's not like we got an abnormal amount of snow today. Annoyed!

WTF Work -- why am I so freaking busy? Over 200 emails yesterday. I worked from 8am-11pm and still have things that ran over into today to handle. Thank God I work from home or I'd be a miserable mess.

WTF sciatic nerve -- you're killing me today. I can hardly sit in this chair and work on my laptop. I'm sure working 15 hours yesterday didn't help. Uggghhhhhh

ArmyMedic7588 · February 2014

@RachelCA29 guess the potty thought you needed a courtesy flush? That sucks about your watch though!!!

WTF headaches... why must you come back with such a vengeance?! I know it's because my back has been in so much pain this past week... but really? I thought I'd get a god night sleep having the bed to myself last night but nope. Spent half the night awake (and on TB trying to pass time).

But I can't complain too much! Being awake allowed me to watch the asshole neighbors across the street get their car towed by the town PD!! Our town mandates that if you have a driveway and it snows you MUST park your car off the street. They didn't. Attempts were made to wake them up (the cop and the plow guy even knocked on the door!). Nothing... tow truck came. Asshole neighbor will wake up with a missing car. [evil laugh] They have enough room for 2 more cars in their driveway!!

And I found out that my bf is planning on using his tax return to go buy and engagement ring finally... YAY! Come on tax return!!

EmilyGolden1 · February 2014

Yes, WTF to all of this damn snow.

WTF drivers---the roads aren't plowed and it is dangerous. Don't you people know I'm a delicate flower carrying the impetus of the planet---be careful! (insert sarcasm, kind of...)

@Mimaloo, that's frustrating! I think they do it to avoid getting stuck with someone who is leaving their OB because they won't follow medical advice (someone who is planning to give birth to sextuplets in a field of daisies and refuses to have their blood pressure taken, for example). Hopefully it won't be an issue! Glad you found somewhere else!

You mean redrosepinkdaisy can't get an OB? Oh well....

keeumm · February 2014

WTF Baby Olive- why don't you want me to eat this entire container of Wegmans fake M&M's? (aka Pink Gems)

WTF faucets that I have to actually turn off- Do you not know that every other faucet in the world is automatic, and therefore you should be, too? I swear I have flooded at least 5,273 bathrooms around the MD/DC area because I assume that all faucets are automatic shut-off. Call me the Wet Bandit.

mileswithmyles · February 2014

WTF parent of one of my students- Why do think it is okay to just do your son's work for him? He is in high school. You are not teaching him anything by doing that for him!

RachelCA29 · February 2014

@ArmyMedic7588all I could do is laugh hysterically at the situation. It was like out of a movie!

I knew I should have just waited to get home to pee.

Oh this is the norm where I am. Or parents of juniors calling to yell at me for not allowing the kid to go "find" his homework somewhere in the building during class.

MissLadyTay · February 2014

So much snow here lots of public transportation was delayed. I rely on a bus to get to work and it never came. Said "fuckfuckfuckfuckfuck" every step of the long walk I had to do on unshoveled sidewalks. Poor baby - probably feeling my stress vibes today. Isn't moving at all.

While I love auto shut-off faucets, I agree with hating auto-flushing toilets. Nothing is worse than when it goes off too soon. That sucks about your watch!

wtf rain and ice storm after Monday snow storm, no work again, power outages everywhere and frozen cheese closing all the roads. wtf I am hungry and not liking anything that we have to eat in the house I want to go out and also extremely bored

ArmyMedic7588 · February 2014

@RachelCA29 all I really wanna do when a toilet flushes before I'm done is says "thanks for the enthusiasm, but we're not finished here yet". I remember being terrified of auto flushers when I was little!!! I thought I was gonna get sucked in!! haha

pistolpackinmomma · February 2014

WTF kid, why are you trying to find the smallest places to crawl into. You don't fit and the blood curling scream that follows is not helping my migraine. Neither was being hit in the face with a wooden spoon.

mileswithmyles · February 2014

@mimaloo- Here is what is killing me-When I asked her about it, she said it is really my fault she is doing it because it is confusing for her and her son, and, if it is confusing for her, then it must be too hard. What really irritates me is that the reason this particular assignment was hard for her son was because he was messing around on the computer while he was being given instructions. Oh, and when I encouraged him to come in for help, she said "well, he doesn't ask for help and he never has." I think that might be something we should work on then rather than assuming it is a skill he will never learn.

(Disclaimer, I do teach special education, but my students are working at or close to grade level and mainly have social skills deficits due to mild autism and not academic deficits BUT students who are lower functioning than he is were able to complete it just fine!)

Cheese makes for a better story. :-)

WTF vagina... why you so broken.. all I wanted was some fun last night!

WTF family member who thinks it's ok to smoke pot above my bedroom so everytime I open my door in the basement it rushes in like a flood....

tbiscuit18 · February 2014

WTF stupid guidance counselor at work. You are a fraud and obviously have too much time on your hands. Stop thinking you are a teacher. You are not. So no, I will not make you a copy of my lesson plans when I am on maternity leave. And yes, I think it is completely a conflict of interest that you think you should be our high school division director. Stop trying to make people think that you are in administration. You are not even a licensed guidance counselor recognized by the state, nor are you licensed as a mental health professional by the state. Having a degree in BA in psychology does not make you a psychologist.

Whoa. I feel so much better. Thanks for the vent.

I don't teach special ed, but I get the same excuses and then some. I wonder how some of my kids are going to handle college.

WTF body how the hell do you gain 4 pounds in 5 days!?

My body does this, too. My weight fluctuates like crazy, though, and is very dependent on what I eat, what I'm wearing, whether I've pooped or not... I can be up 4lbs one day and back down 3 the next. I try not to pay too much attention to it or I'll drive myself crazy. I don't even look at my appointments because they're always higher than at home. I chalk it up to a different scale, rushed measurements, and the fact they are doing it while I'm fully dressed in all my winter attire (boots included). I can't wait until the weather gets better and I shed all the extra clothing attire and have nothing to blame it on other than growing a baby. -.-

RedInLove · February 2014

@ArmyMedic7588, that's so exciting!! When the time comes, you have to share a picture of the ring!!

@Mimaloo, I'm glad you have found a new OB so quickly! I would be sure to ride your old OB's office asses until those records are transferred, or offer to hand carry them if they drag their feet. They just need to fax them over, that what the office I was seeing OOT when I first became pg did when I got back home to my regular OB.

stina76 · February 2014

@ebuge - What state are you in? I can't believe your counselor can work there and not be licensed! I'm a HS counselor and hate when lazy counselors give us a bad name!! We have to be licensed in IL for sure!! And to be a counselor I had to have a Masters! I'm so sick of snow also!!

whse13kittens · February 2014

WTF work? If you're not going to close, fine, but can we at least put down some salt/kitty litter so I don't almost break my face walking in from the parking lot? If I have to go to L&D today because I fall you can bet your ass I'll be asking you to pay the bill.

WTF coworker? People who live further away than you do came in today, on time. AND you said you would "remote in" and you did, for two hours, and didn't do a damn thing, so I came in to twice as much work as normal. And as soon as I came in, you had an "emergency" and no one has seen you since. So, um, can you please tell me how you're "working" today?

WTF DH? If you don't want to call us off work because you think your car can make it in, fine. But don't tell me "oh, I'll save the day for this weekend when it snows really bad." You always find a reason to go to work anyway instead of using the time to stay home. In fact, you only ever take off when I am working, unless I force you to take the same day and/or the kids need you. So, thanks for never wanting to spend time with me and/or thinking about the fact that I worry about you driving into work with all the jerks on the road.

WTF self? Get over your grumpiness, you're working til 10pm tonight, you have a looooong time to go.

skyrockets · February 2014

WTF, coworker. Thanks for saying "Didn't know if you were pregnant or just gaining a bunch of weight" even though I announced at our Christmas party and am over 25 weeks. I am also appreciative that you said this in front of a bunch of (male) colleagues. If I was rude to you this morning whb you asked about my due date, good.

Wtf, hormones? Could you PLEASE settle down and stop making me cry all. the. time?

pistolpackinmomma · February 2014

WTF DH's boss for telling him that there's too much shit to do do now he doesn't get to come home this weekend. I want to see my husband damnit!!

Oh believe you me - I will be on them like white on rice. They told me it would take up 1-2 days to get the records together before they fax them (I will also be picking up a copy for myself) so I expect it to be done by Friday and will be calling to check up on it.

tbiscuit18 · February 2014

@stina76 I'm in MN, but work at a private school. I still thought that guidance counselors needed to be licensed in some capacity in order to counsel.

I love my school, but am looking to get back to public school next fall.

I just dealt with this yesterday! I see you teach special ed and it sounds like deal with the same population. My kid handed in an assignment using the word "inferior". When I asked him what it meant he became super defensive and then admitted his mom did it. Today's assignment used the word "demoralizes". Yeah...if you're going to do your kid's homework at least try and dumb it down.

The whole weighing more at the doctors makes me mad! Lol so I have my "early morning, naked and haven't ate" weight and then I have my "doctors" weight. There's a 4 pound difference!
