Throat Punch Thursday!

Haven't seen one of these in a while! Let's hear it, ladies!

I wanna throat punch our front desk receptionist. She's always so nice, and she's even crocheting LO a baby blanket, but I get SO creeped out by her. She stares at me every time I walk by. Has to say SOMETHING to me every time we pass in the hall. And here's the part that gets me: if I come up front and ask you a questiom first thing in the morning, as far as I'm concerned we have had our initial greeting for the day. But no, as I'm walking away and around the corner she adds in like an afterthought, "Good morning Leah." As I'm walking away. And we've already had a fucking discussion. I dunno why it pisses me off so much. But I feel like she's obsessed with me. /endrant

A huge TP to the database with which I'm working for my book that's due in a week. It's out of date, ungainly, and slows my computer down to a snail's pace.

I'd like to throat punch the idiot that cut me off this morning on the way to work - he almost hit me and I had to slam my brakes on!

I would like a double TP for my insane client who seems to think that the things I tell her are optional. NO your invoicing feature isn't ready...why? Because you still owe me a shit ton of information. NO I'm not sending out COBRA notices...why? Because you didn't purchase that service. NO I can't meet with you tomorrow because (like my email signature says in big bold red letters) I'm out of the office tomorrow.

WTF lady? You are not my only client. Or even my most important one.

I'd like to throat punch my bosses' clients who get all butt hurt that there aren't any appointments open before April 15, so if they'd like one or the other to do their taxes, we will have to file an extension for them and make an appointment after April 15th. I'm sorry [I'm not sorry] you decided to finally call to schedule this appointment on April 10th; we've been booked out 6 weeks for the past three months, and no, even if you rephrase the question, they still don't have any appointments open. Doubly no, if you give me a sob story about how you're really counting on this refund to buy a new washer, dryer, car, air conditioner. You are the idiot who has too much money taken out of your paycheck and over pays your tax liability all year long. Adjust your withholdings, get more money back in your paycheck, and for pete's sake, save money for once in your life! I'm amazed at the people who make six figures of income and still don't have any sort of emergency fund/slush fund set up. We had an OB/GYN wonder about how she was going to pay her tax bill, her fricken W-2 was over 500,000, and she owed about 12,000.

I work in commercial property management and I'm currently the only female on our staff. It is nice that all of the guys look out for me, but I want to throat punch our security guard. Several times a day he will come into my office to see how his "two favorite people" are doing. He even refers to my unborn child as his god child. Now every time I see him I want to duck down or hide because it is just so fucking annoying.

I just woke up. It's too early for throat punhes.

I want to TP the nurse on the phone at my primary doctors office. My eye hurt yesterday and I woke up today with my eye watering so bad, stinging pain, and redness around the iris. I can barely keep my eye open. My husband thinks it's pink eye, so I called my dr. The nurse who called me back was the same nurse who last year refused to let me make an appointment when my back was a 10 (1-10 pain) and I couldn't move. She made me go to the ER and pay $300 vs $25. Turns out it was two herniated discs, and every dr or specialist I saw kept giving me drugs and telling me I didn't need an MRI. I insisted on an MRI anyway and they found the herniations...hmmmm.

Anyway, the nurse who called me back today and told me my eye pain isn't from pink eye, it's a scratch. It must have been my eyeliner. Um, I don't wear eyeliner, thanks. I had to press for a damn appt.! If it's some kind of virus, I need treatment especially so I don't spread anything! Even if it is a bad scratch, I'd like to know not to worry. what a dick....

I'd like to throat punch my landlords, who have been trying to force us to move out for almost a year now (I've lived there since 2007) because they want to renovate and raise the rent. They've resorted to doing things like not fixing my kitchen sink's clog for a year, leaving black mold in our kitchen closet for 6 months, "fixing" our leaky toilet causing it to leak into the neighbor's bathroom and blaming us because we didn't realize it was still leaking. They've accused us of letting our cats pee all over the place (which, if you have cats, you know is crazy bc healthy cats don't pee just anywhere and the smell would be caustic and horrible), which is not true at all.

So yesterday, after the laundry sink overflowed due to the pantyhose filter coming off the hose and left water on the floor, which I admittedly did and didn't inform them about (every other time this has happened, I use the wet/dry vac and it's over). They changed the locks while I was at work and then came to tell me I'm not allowed to use laundry anymore. My storage is also locked down there, now out of my reach. They basically told us last night that we should move out ASAP.

We've had a property lawyer contact them and tell them they cannot lock away my things. We're on a month-to-month lease and always have been, so our options are more limited than a tenant with a traditional lease. Anyway, all this means is we need to get our butts in gear applying for a mortgage. I made the appointment today.

TL;DR my landlords made me cry last night and they deserve a good throat punch or two.

I'd like to throat punch Bank of America. We transferred most of DS's savings out of his BofA savings account to a higher yield account. I never check the account and we don't get a paper statement for it. I just got an email notice that it's overdrawn. WTF? I log on to check it out and they've deducted $5 for the past three months in "maintenance charges". $5/month for website access? B.S. I call to try to re-coup the money and they are only willing to give me $5 back. Assholes. Now I have to go down to the branch itself to get $10 lousy dollars back. But it's worth it.

It's never too early for throat punches. I desperately want to throat punch my alarm clock for waking me up when my kids were still asleep.

I have a small TP. People in big SUV that not only park in compact parking spaces but also takes up more than one spot. It drives me crazy as I continue to circle the parking garage (I hate it but to park anywhere else around my building is another $50 a month totaling $100) I just can't.

Liss1481 · April 2014

Oh, I'd also like to TP DH who keeps saying how much he hopes that my butt gets bigger this pregnancy. Thanks so much for that. I finally snapped on him last night and asked how he would like it if I kept telling him I was praying for his belly to get smaller.

I can sympathize with this. I drive a compact car and about half out parking lot is compact parking spaces. But a lot of the people I work with drive huge trucks and SUVs, and a few of them seem to think it's their right to take up four spaces. I have so many dings and scratches on my car now that I don't think I'm ever going to consider getting a new car until I'm working someplace else.

My throat punch is for my coworkers who like to second guess my decisions. I outrank them, but they don't seem to care. I've been here two and a half years, but they still think of me as the new girl who apparently can't help but benefit from their wisdom and guidance.

That happens to me all the time. Even worse is when I'm going to a store or restaurant that I know has Hybrid parking and then I find all the hybrid spaces filled with trucks and SUV's. I don't care if people drive big vehicles, but don't screw other people over.

Uhhh.. last time I checked you can't diagnose either a corneal abrasion or pink eye without looking at the eye! I don't know why she thinks she can diagnose you over the phone. Eye roll...

Yep, eye infection. What a moron nurse.

I want to desperately TP my coworker who came up to me this morning and said " uh, you must be feeling nauseas this morning- I can see it all over your face" as she walks away in her stilettos and 20 layers of makeup!! Really, just keep it to yourself next time. Errrr!
