Twatwaffle Tuesday

Miraculously, I've gotten to 9:16am without anyone pissing me off yet today.  I'm sure I will be contributing later.  Anyone else???

Re: Twatwaffle Tuesday

  • People in the shops rushing to get their food shopping done before Christmas - even though, and I can not stress this enough, the stores does NOT close on the 24th and 25th.

    So happy DH did not go with me cause he would have stripped his moer (lost his patience) with them.
    Especially those who bumped into me and seemingly did not see that I was pregnant.

  • @LadySamLady ...ear balls :D that made my day!
  • I usually don't participate here...sometimes I don't see it, but most of the time people don't really piss me off...but I don't see anyone usually either. I have one today. My freaking mail man. I ordered a kitchen set for my kids through the pampers gifts to grow program...aka it was free and you can't beat a free christmas gift they'll love. It arrived today. The jerk face pulled IN TO MY GARAGE AND HONKED HIS HORN UNTIL I ANSWERED THE DOOR!!!!! No, he didn't get his lazy butt out of his car, didn't knock, didn't nothing. He POPPED HIS TRUCK AND SAID "That's yours, take it" ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME?!?!?!?!?! I'll be making a trip to the post office later and complaining. That is an all new low for him.

    Don't get me started on the mail man.  We had a great one but he retired almost two years ago.  Things were fine for the first six months, until our new mail man caught a glimpse of our dog barking at him.  Through the window.  Inside the house.  Now he refuses to deliver packages to our door.  For awhile we had to go pick up any packages at the post office, even though I explained to him (nicely at first, then not so nicely, then I complained to his supervisor) that typically not only is she not outside during the day, she's shut up in our bedroom.  Where there are no windows facing the street.  He can't even see or hear her.  But he knows she's there, so it's an excuse to not get off his duff.  After enough complaining to our Postmaster, he finally agreed to deliver packages to our next door neighbor's house.  Never mind that they have a BIGGER dog--he's never seen it.  I dread the day he does.

  • My coworker who took credit for something I did yesterday, not to mention her shrill voice annoys the heck out of me, just shut up!
  • This week's twat waffle award goes to my exhusband.
    This man left my dds and I almost 10 years ago, my girls were 1 and 3 then, after years of cheating on me (with his boss, coworkers, even someone I then considered a good friend) for another so called friend. (The twat waffle award should go to ME for marrying this jerk in the first place). During our marriage he quit several jobs, eventually resulting in our house being lost to the bank and having to move in with my mother. Eventually I saw the light and let him go.
    Fast forward, he moves in a new gf and I discover her son AS WELL AS HIS TEENAGE SON were sexually assaulting my then 5 year old. Of course I took all measures to ensure my daughter was mentally and physically on from these experiences which includes a final court order stating both boys must be in a public supervised situation if they were to be around my girls. Prior to this child support was not an issue, but of course, that didn't last long and so I let the courts taje care of that for me. The order allows him every other full weekend visits as well as Friday and Saturdays on alternating weeks.
    However, he can't seem to keep a job ,there's been 8 in 8 years) and has moved almost 400 kilometers away from them (6 moves so far) Also, he's on live in gf #4. He has never exercised his right to the alternating weekends, withheld child support resulting in federal actions against him 3 times in the last 2 years (wages garnished, passport and lisence revoked) and has moved in his son and allowing the girls (now 9 and 11) to spend full weekends with this child molester.
    He has never once shown up for his alternating weekends and misses at least one full weekend a month. He sees them less than 52 days a year.
    So in September when I was served court papers I was dumbstruck. He's asking for 3 full weekends a month and claiming I abuse my daughter's. But whatever, I tell myself, I'm not letting this Douche canoe ruin my happy family. I have no doubts about my parenting and I have no doubts the court will not side with him (he missed last weekend because he went to Mexico instead) but what's really burning my ass is his constant bashing me online. I know better than to let it get to me but seriously I want to SCREAM are you fucking kidding me.
    I wish this man would get the mental help HE needs and find some peace and happiness in his own life. Once he discovered my SO and I were expecting he completely went off the rails, even resorting to bashing SO and our baby online. Who does that?!!

    I get that he's got anger issues and seemingly can't let go but our girls do not need to suffer because he can't sort his life out.

    Ugh I needed to get that off my chest. Sorry it was so long..It was the condensed version :(

    My shout out goes to the customer service lady at the airline company who tried to tell me that I needed to wait until May to buy an airline ticket for a June flight for my unborn child. Umm, I'm not leaving that up to chance for a 10 hour flight, nor am I paying twice as much for waiting. I know it's a complicated situation, but I also know that there are reasonable workarounds, so stop being lazy and help.

    Edit: scary grammar
  • @hepburnrules I am SO sorry this happened to your child. I'd go at someone with a f*cking machete. It's seriously boiling my blood right now that your girls may be forced to spend time with that. Wth is wrong with our justice system?!
  • Work. Let's send all the tickets to me today knowing I already have an overdue work item and I go on vacation tomorrow until the new year. These people can keep dropping stuff on me all they want. There are other capable people on my team who will be here after today. If I don't start on something bc I wasn't able to get to it or it's going to take hours I don't have then it's just going right back to you. Our clients are government agencies anyway. No one is in the office. No one cares right now. This has been happening the past few weeks now and I'm kinda over it.

    Also DH. I know I asked him to do something this morning. We got in the car. He hadn't done it. He said I never asked. He then proceeded to say it was probably my pregnancy brain and I never really said it. Just bc you weren't listening or forgot to do something doesn't make me crazy. It's just great bc I now fully anticipate him taking advantage of my forgetfulness.
  • Thanks @kami09 it's seriously mind blowing. But I'm certain the courts will see through him. This is repeat behaviour on his part.. I'm hoping the judge yells at him, again.
  • Oh.my.god. @hepburnrules what the hell. Good thoughts and prayers that the courts see right through his bullshit. I'm sure they will. But damn, the possibility they won't scares the shit out of me! That's just ridiculous!
  • @hepburnrules That whole situation is disgusting. I'm so sorry you have to deal with that.
  • Today it is me. Even though I have bounced between pronouns since finding out we were pregnant, my mom knows we had our Anatomy Scan yesterday. When I was telling her about the baby, I said 'they' 'the baby' and once I said 'he', but not 'she.' She called me out on it, and I brushed it off saying we didn't know so I just kept bouncing around (like I have always done), but now I'm paranoid I ruined the surprise for her.

    blah.

    @jessiedee13 + @emma+karen, I think ya'lls are my favorites (sorry) and I would enjoy any other mailman stories you have today!
  • Haha @AliciaD39 I have plenty of good ones I might share at nap time to procrastinate doing dishes ;) lol
  • I have three TW's today! The first two are my dogs, whom I love very much but am furious with! I bought them a new bags of treats and this time I got the extra large bag! I left the bag where I aways do in the laundry room, at the back of the folding counter. I went to let them out to potty and noticed they managed to get the bag off the counter, chewed through it and ate THE WHOLE THING!!!

    My third is the lack of sleep. I had an awful dream last night woke up at 3:30 this morning and couldn't go back to bed! I didn't have to be up until 6:15 :(
  • The twatwaffle is the leak in my office. We have a roofer coming out. My floor is flooded. Glad they're getting in handled because I'm ready to go home and not deal with it. 
  • @hepburnrules I am so sorry that you are going through that. I would definitely be documenting the fact that his son is living with him and that he is going against the court order for that as well. Everything will be ok in the end!
  • DH is driving me crazy. He says I cry too much, but we argue and he calls me names and takes low blows. Who wouldn't get upset? He thinks pregnancy hormones can't be that bad.  I want to take a vacation from him and stay at my moms but I know that's not a healthy option and it would just piss him off. Ugg I need some de-stressing asap. 
  • I too, usually don't participate in this thread. I work from home and I'm on bed rest... So it's rare that anyone pisses me off!

    This stupid Candidate (I'm a healthcare recruiter), answered the phone for our first phone interview (3 weeks ago) claims she forgot we had an interview and asked me to call her at 4pm. Fine. Gave her the benefit of the doubt... Rescheduled her for 4. Then she sends an email that she's leaving work at 4 and wants me to call her at 4:10 so that she can be sure to get out of th building for our call. Okay. I call her on the dot at 4:10 and she says, "I didn't expect you to call this late. I'm driving now and can't talk. Can we reschedule?"

    We were rescheduled for today at 11 am. I call her and low and behold she doesn't answer for our phone interview. Now she's sent me an email to reschedule again! What the crap?!

    I support 4 different states for my company and well over 100 open positions at a time and this candidate is wasting my time!

    Rant over! Lol thanks for listening!
  • Work again. Our clients are idiots I swear. We got a ticket with a security issue back in November. We fixed it the only way we could and told them this is how it would work from now on. Fast forward to today... They're complaining bc they can't do something. Well duh. Bc we removed that functionality bc you said it was a security issue. Make up your mind and decide what you want.
  • Thanks @kami09 it's seriously mind blowing. But I'm certain the courts will see through him. This is repeat behaviour on his part.. I'm hoping the judge yells at him, again.

    Your ex husband sounds a bit like my dad- this was in the pre social media days but he used to call us and tell us how "deranged" out mom was and then would only visit once a year (that is if he wasn't in another country because he didn't want to pay child support).
    It all worked out when my brothers and I became adults and told him ourselves we didn't want to know him. He tried moving on and settling down and ended up having to pay 20 years of back child support just when I was in college and needed extra support.
  • @ hepburnrules I'm sorry you're going through this.  it's crazy to think that he is accusing you of something that also happened under his roof.  I'm so sorry your daughters went through that.  Keep on keeping track of all his crazy tactics.

  • Dude literally snoring at his desk. I want to walk over and kick him. It's so loud and no one else is doing anything and I can't get my work done. Why is it he can sleep at work and not get caught but if I happen to not get something done right away then someone is on me? I just keep thinking only 2 more hours... :)
  • My twatwaffle is so tame compared to yours @hepburnrules! I'm so sorry that douche is messing with your family. How horrible that he allowed and continues to allow sexual abusers in his home with your girls. That should be an automatic dismissal of his appeal in my opinion. Why on earth would any judge entertain that???

    The twatwaffle in my life is my BIL who lives with us and who has long over stayed his welcome is supposed to be moved out of our house three weeks ago and is dragging his feet getting moved. He promised he'd be moved out by today, but didn't start packing until late this morning. Now he's taken off to go have lunch with friends. Meanwhile his crap and trash are strewn about my house (not new) and I highly doubt my move out cleaning checklist I gave him is on his radar today. He said before my ultrasound this morning if he "ran out of time" today that he'd come by this weekend to clean. I. Can't. wait. For. Him. To. Leave.

    Freaking right?!
  • Ya, it makes me log in multiple times a day and gives me all kinds of errors as I'm typing. Plus I don't need to know a bazillion times my draft was saved. Lame. Fix your dang app, The Bump!
  • Mine is this head cold & my bil and his fiancé. The head cold is self explanatory. My bil and his fiancé sporadically moved back to our state on Saturday. No jobs lined up, no where to live, they just decided to move back. So they've been bouncing between my in laws and our house to sleep. I love them both but seriously I'm tired, pregnant and sick; I don't feel like hosting spontaneous guests. Ug.

  • Today it is the second tri burst of energy. Or lack there of. I have one great day...then 3-4 where I just can't function. Apparently, the energy is only true for first pregnancies, not second. At least that appears to be true for me.

    And everyone else's kids. I seriously have no tolerance for children that don't belong to me right now. Which is ironic as I was a child care worker and substitute teacher in a former life and loved both. Was great at both. But now? Oy!

    @araecasey I'm on mobile, but I use the mobile website because I can't STAND the app. And the mobile site almost never logs me out.
  • @doozer1345 OMG I would have lost it. Ugh! Did you ever end up getting answers?

    Somewhat I guess?? She said to double up on fiber for DD and after the doctor came back from lunch she had the NP call and tell me to give DD Miralax everyday for a month (NP told me under no circumstances give her Miralax during the visit..shocker). She listened to DD's bowels and said they were moving well and then threw out the poop sample I brought bc "she isn't showing signs of an infection." I mean why not just send it to the lab just in case right?! It's only my child's intestines but hey...what do I know?!
