Monday Morning Bitchfest

mccall35 · December 2014

It's been a loooong weekend over here with holiday festivities ramping up, I'm sure others are feeling the same. Let's hear em'!

mccall35 · December 2014

I'll start. DH started throwing up non-stop last night at 10pm. DS and I will be running for cover at my ILs as soon as he wakes up. With this timeline, I'm guessing either DS or myself will be so incredibly ill for Xmas day. Merry effing Xmas to us.

Bednarova · December 2014

Not only did DH wake me up when he was getting ready for work this am (he left at 615), he woke DS up too.

DS's normal wake up time is more than an hour later andplus he's got a wicked cold. I'm so excited about the whiny meltdowns that I'll experience this afternoon!

There is a woman at work who every she goes to the bathroom flushes the toilet 5 times... I kid you not wtf are you doing in there that you have to flush 5 times within a 5 minute time frame... I get that she might be taking a dump, but come on. And i know its her because ill be in there and there is only one other person in the stall and shes over there flush happy.. Sorry if this rant seems stupid but thats just a waste of water!!

rachellynlane · December 2014

Sorry but I totally LOL at this!! She may be trying to cover up sounds? I don't know but it's funny.

catmagick · December 2014

I'm tired. The end. Like, where the hell is this second tri energy I have been promised?! I seriously can't even this week with my students. I just want to stay in bed. Oh andplusalso I have been getting serious night sweats. It's gross.

finchfeeder80 · December 2014

catmagick I totally hear you on the fatigue. I was promised an energy boost, where the hell is it? I hope you get through this week with your students!

My bitch this morning is this lady who parked beside me at work, I was still in my car, and she knew it, because she waited a minute before pulling in to make sure I wasn't going to open my door. She proceeded to park close enough to me that it was hard to get out of my car. Seriously, if you're going to do a shitty job parking can you at least wait until I'm not sitting right beside you?

MIL can't seem to comprehend how we feed our 17 month old. I know its not her kid, but she sees her all the time and I feel like I am a broken record telling her the same stuff over and over again.

DD eats dinner around 5-5:30. If you load her up on snacks around 5-5:30 that will serve as her dinner and she will not eat anything when you finally get around to serving dinner at 6:30 or later. Part of it is also because it is so close to her bedtime (usually between 7-8).

MIL tells us that we will be eating xmas eve dinner at 7pm because BIL will be working until 5:30. I inform MIL that if she really serves dinner that late, DD will not eat it... so in that case we are going to have serve her something else earlier. Ok she says she will serve dinner at 6:00. I am not holding my breath though because she always serves dinner later than she says she does. So once again DD is just going to load up on snacks and not have a real dinner.

I don't want to sound ungrateful but DD's nutrition is one of my biggest pet peeves. I am also leaving out the factor that the only reason why BIL is working until 5:30pm is because he goes into work so late and is being his usual Grinch a$$ self. BIL's job and employer are similar but different than DH's and mine; the structure is the same, we can generally work whatever hours we want, so if he got himself out of bed a little bit earlier he could leave work earlier and if he wanted to take a few hours of annual leave it would be no big deal to anyone. There is nothing that he is doing at work that is so time sensitive that he actually has to be there on xmas eve.

Oh and FFS stop trying to give DD croutons. Ok that is enough bitching.

I would just bring her a meal when you go to your MIL's house and feed her that. If 6pm hits and your not sitting down to dinner heat up whatever it is, give her dinner and when your MIL bitches tell her im not letting her eat shit she needs a good meal and call it a day... If/when she gets butt hurt tell her if she had planned to serve dinner at a normal time then your DD would eat but you are not going to compromise her nutrition for BIL to get off of work

lfaithlove · December 2014

I woke up this morning SO excited about my bagel and strawberry cream cheese... Only to get the cream cheese on the knife and realize that I accidentally got pumpkin spice. Ew. Seriously? I hate pumpkin spice flavored stuff!!! Blek.

Monday wins again.

Schnurette · December 2014

Dear DH,

I love you but I hate the way you act like me not getting stuff done around the house is a personal affront to you (because it's not, I just feel like shit because I'm making you a child) but we have discussed that and you have been better lately.

That said, and I really do appreciate you trying to help out around the house, HOWEVER, the following items do not count as helping out:

Putting toilet bowl cleaner in the toilet and leaving it and / or only cleaning the inside of the toilet, not the seat or rim or outside.

"Washing Dishes" (read: putting them in water, swishing them around, and then taking them out and putting them away damp...DD's cup still had milk in it that hadn't been washed out and her spoon had yogurt crust on it...I'm getting kind of sick of rewashing dishes...)

Cleaning up DD's toys by throwing them all at random into the toy baskets. I appreciate the thought but now I can't find all of the parts for literally any of her toys without dumping everything back out and starting from scratch. I am now doing twice as much work because I have to take all of the stuff that was organized and add it to the pile because you have randomly thrown in other stuff.

kej0004 · December 2014

I'm really tired of people finding out I'm pregnant and then asking me if it was on purpose. How in the hell is that any of your damn business?

I have half a mind to go into intricate details about my temperature charts, cervical mucus, ovulation and sex with my husband during my fertile window that led to this pregnancy. Hey buddy, you asked.

BUT I mean, what if the answer was no? What do you say? Like, "no we didn't plan it. I got wasted drunk and had wild, tantric sex with my SO and now here we are. Think we'll just drop it in a dumpster when it gets here, since we didn't want it anyways."

mamahawk12 · December 2014

I got less than 5 hours of sleep, have a throbbing headache, and threw up in my bathroom sink. "Ohhh but second tri is when you feel greeeaaatttt" they say. Fuck that noise.

seannemairi · December 2014

I have my 3rd YI since September and I'm FUCKING OVER IT. I'm pretty sure it's the fact that I have to wear pantyhose to work 4 days a week for 13 hours a day but there's pretty much nothing I can do about it.

mamayo26 · December 2014

I'm so over this pregnancy brain...I think most of my friends/family/collegues think I am either stupid, crazy or lazy...

thigh highs? do they still sell those?

VS does!! I was thinking crotchless, lol! Thigh highs would be a more appropriate option

ahershe · December 2014

I'm not skinny by any means but I am at a healthy weight and bmi. It makes me super uncomfortable and mad when people seem to make me feel guilty for my weight. "You're so skinny!" "You should really eat more." "You shouldn't be worrying about what you eat!" "I'd be grateful if I had your body." Etc, etc. what people don't know is that I used to be overweight and I had to work my butt off to lose it. And I have to work my butt off to maintain it. I just hate when people make comments about my weight not even realizing what it takes for me to maintain a HEALTHY not even skinny body. Ugh. End rant.

Hahahaha yes, I'm all over the crotchless panties to work! I guess I'll have to get thigh highs at this point. I like that my hose supports my bump but I could not possibly be more over this YI horseshit.

I love thigh highs! I don't wear mine a whole lot, but they are so much less of a pain in the rear than hose/tights. Especially for bathroom visits. I got some nice ones from Torrid a few years ago and they've held up pretty well.

jcprn · December 2014

When I tell people that we've had trouble getting pregnant and had to go through IVF for this pregnancy, for some reason they want to talk about everyone they know who have had miscarriages. As horribly frustrating as it has been to not get pregnant on our own, we haven't been through that type of terribly sad loss. Can we just say that in normal conversation with a pregnant person it's not the best thing in the world to be talking about all the people that you know who have miscarried? I worry about it enough on my own without people constantly talking to me about it. Miscarrying is so devastating and I feel for the people who have suffered that tragic loss. I have no idea what I would do but I can't even believe how many people go on and on about it without any provocation. I only tell people close to me who know about my struggles the past 2 years about going through IVF because people have their own personal beliefs about it but I think going forward I'm going to leave that out of our pregnancy story.

lwyz · December 2014

I didn't have enough vacation days to take this whole week off because I've used some to be sick... Which is fine but it's just SO annoying to come into work on Monday knowing you can't really do anything because you can't start any projects just to be gone for the rest of the week... Which is making the day so slow and boring. But so much yay for the rest of the week!!!

beersandweirs · December 2014

Yesterday my husband and I got into a little argument about me maybe not wanting to drive home from Christmas dinner if it gets too late and I get too tired. Which would mean that he would have to curtail his drinking (the horror!) at the end of the night so he could drive home. Which of course turned into me ugly crying and saying he doesn't appreciate how hard I am working in this pregnancy.

It was mostly about how I felt it wasn't fair that he would be annoyed with me if I couldn't drive him home. I realize that everyone always says you get 9 months of DD with a pregnant wife, but it can be annoying at times too. But I also think I was just overly emotional yesterday.

THIS! Even the few people that are here aren't willing to get anything done. So I'm just sitting here, bored to death, slowly killing my phone battery because every good website is blocked on my computer.

jbartsy · December 2014

I've had to change my pants 3 times in the past 24 hours due to snissing.

Also, I think the load of laundry I just put in has kleenex and chapstick in it. The last load had a pair of headphones (that surprisingly made it through alive). When I'm sick, I really need to put a huge sign on the washer that says CHECK THE POCKETS, YOU FOOL.

lwyz · December 2014

Oh. And another one. My boss just put her work messenger status to 'in a meeting' so to her bosses it looks like she's here but really she just went Christmas shopping. Like. Seriously.

finchfeeder80 · December 2014

Along the lines of slow work days, the wire system is down. So we can't approve any wires. Which is my whole job.

I still cut the crotch out of my hose and tights. It looks funny, but it sure works to cut down on YI!

mamahawk12 · December 2014

Also - If I hear/see one more person respond to the age old question "are you hoping for a boy or a girl" with "as long as it's healthy" - I'm going to cutabitch. There is more than one reason that phrase ignites my fire and can be offensive. Stop saying it, people.

ETA - this isn't saying you have to have a preference. But "we don't have a preference" is a totally acceptable answer. No need to sanctify yourself.

beersandweirs · December 2014

Bitch the second, we have been used car shopping for a while and not having a ton of luck. We have looked at a few cars that we were interested in, so we had the cash out to pay for it on the spot. Now with holidays in full swing, we probably won't have time to do much car shopping, so we decided to re-deposit the money in the bank. When my husband went to the ATM to deposit it yesterday, it ate $3000 and didn't credit our account, and of course this was on a Sunday when the branch wasn't open. My husband went in today to talk to them, and it will all get sorted out, but it was seriously not cool when it happened!

littlechemist · December 2014

emilyzemily said: I am so fucking mad!! I'm angry with my SO and he knows I am. He's at work and I text him to tell him i'm pissed at him, he tried to call me, I cancelled his calls. Then I decided to answer my phone, he asks me why i'm being an ass and then tells me i'm making him out to be a cunt. I'm tired, pissed off and didn't hold back my words, then I heard myself echoing and asked him if i'm on loudspeaker in his van, he said I was, I asked him if he's on his own in the van to which he said no, his work mate was in there too. So he's called me knowing we're going to have a personal argument and let his mate listen to the whole thing! Then I didn't want to lose my shit about being on loudspeaker so I just hung up. I cannot even explain how angry I am right now!
**quoteboxfail** (I think Google Chrome hates me)**

NOT COOL! Always inform a caller when they are on speakerphone if you are not alone in the car. And if you know there's going to be an argument? Ugh, just don't even. Hope things smooth over!

Also, @mamahawk12 - I dislike the "as long as it's healthy" response. When people ask our preference, and I say we'll be excited either way, they still go ahead and fill in for themselves saying, "As long as it's healthy, right???" No, I'd prefer it have 3 heads, but thanks. (apologies to anyone who has experience with any kind of deformity... not trying to poke fun!!)

I agree. That response reminds me of the discussions about genetic testing when people say they aren't getting it done because they will "love the baby no matter what". I don't think people realize what they are saying when they say it. Think before you speak and don't just use some cliche response that in all reality is quite offensive.

WifeDeAngel · December 2014

Letting DD watch Elmo's Christmas Countdown while I shower and get dressed. Almost every fricken song they sing is making me all teary and choked up. Same with listening with Christmas songs on the radio. I'm not a sentimental person normally, so this is super annoying.

But then, if that is all I can come up with to complain about today, I realize how blessed I am.

NoeliaV · December 2014

I hate the new smilies. Stoopid bump.

(

I ate all the cookies that I brought with me to work. Boooooo.

HR confirmed that I'll likely be 20 days short for fully paid FMLA leave. Sucks.

dkleid · December 2014

Really want to scream right now... We have had a Hanukkah dinner planned for 2 weeks not to get together with my sister and brother to celebrate and to see them.. 3 hours before we are supposed to get together my brother canceled on us because of work. My sister just says fine then dinner isnt happened... Really??? I didn't know that you could speak for me and my husband as well. When i texted them back being like really?? Thanks for canceling the whole thing when DH and I can still go she got pissed that I wouldn't go to dinner without DH but its okay to go with out our brother...It would of been one thing if he had canceled the other day, but to cancel 3 hours before hand when you have plans is just rude. I get that stuff comes up but just because your favorite sibling cant go doesn't mean you cancel on everyone with out talking to the rest of them. Now my blood pressure is going to be through the roof for my doctors appointment this afternoon g what fun!

sordidvolition · December 2014

We are OOT visiting family for the holidays and DH cannot/will not stop working. I want to shove his phone up his ass and then punch him in the throat

Karissa764 · December 2014

Dh decided he needed to put some fancy air intake thing on the car, which resulted in the check engine light being on. So now it won't pass NYS inspection..he didn't keep the original parts he took off it so $550 later we have the same damn one the car came with but now something is messed up with the car and it doesn't shift right...they had to mess something up when they were tinkering around in there. We are supposed to be driving quite a bit the next couple weeks and it scares me to drive it thatfar because I'd rather not get stranded

mrscampos4life · December 2014

It's 24C or 85F in the office! I'm dying over here! It s given me a headache!

When I told a friend of mine that we're doing genetic testing she rolled her eyes and said "you know that it's just a numbers game and you're still doing it?" I was really offended and wanted to slap her. The "I'll love it no matter what" makes me very stabby.

Ugh. That's almost as bad as the sanctibitch who told my sister that NT scans are only for people who are "scared" and "need an out".

blastocarrier30 · December 2014

I actually have one of these this week! People who are chronically late. Disclaimer, I am not talking about people who are late on occasion or who are even late regularly by 5-10 minutes. I get traffic, I get parking problems, I get that dogs sometimes run out the door when you're trying to leave. I'm talking about people who are regularly 20-30 minutes or more late and think it's just ok.

This weekend I had a friend who came in from out of town. We were supposed to meet for brunch at 11:00. She texted me at 8:30 and said they would be a little late. No problem, getting out the door can be tough and traffic isn't always easy when you're coming from 2 hours away. She texted me again at 10 and told me that they were leaving in "just a little bit" and *should* be able to make it by 12:30. We planned on 11 because DH had to work that afternoon, so I was annoyed because we had confirmed the plans the day before and nothing had come up; they were just running late and she thought it was funny/cute. We end up rescheduling for the next morning at 11:30.

Sunday morning, we got caught by old family friend at church, but extricate ourselves as quickly as possible. As soon as we leave I text her and tell her that we're running 10 minutes late so she'll know. We get there 9 minutes late and they aren't there yet. She finally texted to tell me they got took a wrong turn (on the way to her favorite brunch place that she chose) and would be there in just a minute. 25 minutes later they show up--35 minutes late for our plans. Obviously, I'm not upset that they weren't there right on time since we got caught, too, but 35 minutes is a long time.

Brunch was nice and all, I just feel like if you can't actually make something happen, don't make plans. And I feel like it's such a hard thing, too, because if you show up super late and apologize, what is my response supposed to be? "It's ok?" Because it is once or twice, but she does this every time we hang out (and did before she moved, too). I also don't really feel like I can say that it's really inconsiderate and annoying, not to mention embarrassing when you think someone is right behind you, you get a seat at a restaurant and then take up someone's table for 20 minutes just waiting for your friend. (I waited tables; I know that this is is a class-A dick move in a busy restaurant.) If you get mad at them, it just makes the whole event awkward.

Ugh. I feel like I'm complaining that someone wanted to come see me. But I had wanted to be able to stay for the reception after church yesterday and couldn't because we had to change our plans with her. And I know it's a weekend so I'm not super busy, but my time is important, too. Maybe Saturday morning when you're supposed to be heading out of town isn't the best time to decide to wrap presents? Blerg.

Like... what else would they use besides numbers? I don't even understand that complaint. Like if it isn't 100% accurate always, the test is just entirely worthless? Yikes.

In general, people don't seem to believe me when I say that I don't have a preference. FTM, so I haven't had to raise one or the other yet. SUPER not into gender stereotyping activities, so it's not like "oh I hope we have a boy so he can play baseball with his dad!" or whatever. I really think I'm going to be equally excited either way.

Also, today when I walked into work, co-workers are all "You look TIRED. Like... REALLY tired." First of all, eat a dick. Secondly, making a person over here, of course I'm tired. I know I look tired, so unless your next statement is "go ahead and take a paid day off today," I'm really not all that interested in hearing about it.

You aren't complaining at all-you have every right to be upset!! 25-35 minutes is a long time!! I truly dislike when people run late, it is rude. It speaks to me that they don't believe my time is as valuable as theirs, even though it's not usually the case/the intention. I understand things come up from time to time, but it's especially rude and inconsiderate when the same person is late over and over again. I get my ass out the door and to my commitments and appointments on time 99% of the time, other people should be able to do it too.
