My TW for the day is Bank Of America. Honestly, I don't know why I continue to use them. I changed my name IN SEPTEMBER and had to request a new debit card 3 times. On the 3rd attempt, they actually managed to get one in the mail to me. They did not, however, tell me that the card already in my possession was being turned off...I found this out when my autodebits starting bouncing (awesome). So today I finally get a new debit card (having been without debit access for 2 weeks) and....it still has my MAIDEN NAME. Are you f'ing kidding me. How is it even possible to generate a card with my maiden name when the name on the account has been changed for THREE MONTHS??
But not to worry, they are shipping me a new card...which I will receive in about 2 weeks. Aaaand the card I just received today is being shut off since "that wasn't the card that I was supposed to receive." Yeah no shit.
@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?!
That's SO unprofessional of her! I'm sorry you had this experience and that it's still not really resolved.

DH just had massive problems with them getting him a new debit card too from BOA. His stopped working bc the magnetic strip was bad so they would send a new one except he had to pay for it... Then when they sent it (2 weeks later) they sent it in an envelope where something dark had rubbed against it so you could see the card number clear as day. So we got a new one bc it was compromised... 2 weeks later again he tries to activate it. Of course there was an issue of some kind and they needed to send a new one again. They refused to expedite the shipping unless he paid again so we were without his debit card for almost 2 months in total. There was never an explanation or apology for any of it. He just fluffed it off but it bothered me so much that they literally just did nothing.
Oh and DH is now a TW. I'm done with work. Noted any outstanding things I knew I couldn't get done today and finished all the others. I want to leave and start my vacation but noooo. DH has to sit here and finish something. The responsible thing to do? Yes. And I commend him for that. Doesn't change the fact I'm over this place right now and want to leave.
I'm going to have to go back and read all of these. My twatwaffle award goes to my mail carrier. I work from home. Keyword HOME So Monday I was rushing to get some Christmas cards in the mailbox before the mail truck came. When I took them outside and put them in the box I saw the mail truck on the other side of the neighborhood. Meaning, I had just made it. So I waited a few minutes inside and after the mail truck picked up the mail and delivered mail, I went out and got it. Inside the mailbox was a post card claiming that they had attempted to deliver a package twice, but no one was at home. The card went on to say that I would have to take the card across town and pick up the package at the post office. WTF!!!!! No one knocked on my door. No one rang my door bell. No one even walked up to the porch. Basically the card was a flat out LIE. The mail truck had stopped at the top of the road that goes out of the neighborhood. I guess they stopped to sort the next neighborhoods mail or something. I marched my incensed pregnant a$$ up there and knocked on the window of the mail truck. Soon as a person came out from the back I held up the card and called them out on their BS. Their excuse is they heard dogs. I was like my dogs are inside. Then they said they saw our neighbor's puppy outside. So what? In my opinion if you are going to deliver mail then you need to realize that in order to do your job you can't just not deliver the mail b/c you see a dog, or afraid of bees or whatever else excuse I have heard from other people that have had the same problem. It is part of the job. If you are that afraid of a dog then you need to carry some sort of spray with you. In her case specifically, I believe she was full of BS. That puppy that was out can't do anything more than nip at your heels if that. And it never ever comes into our front yard. The most that puppy trespasses is on the side yard which is no where near the driveway or the front porch. And he only does that when our dogs our in our back yard fence. I do know that this was not our regular mail carrier. And yes I realize that this time of year is rough for the post office etc. But it is your job. Just do your damn job. The one thing I really enjoy about this being pregnant thing is the hormones allow me to have the courage to call people out on their BS.
And because of the foul mood I was in I also called animal control on the neighbors. I kind of hope the puppy gets picked up and has a chance for a better home. They don't take care of their dogs!
I usually don't do this but today my H gets the award. After finishing all our Christmas shopping and wrapping I took a nap and fell asleep on the couch at 630. My H woke me up not long into it and asked if I wanted to get up and go get in bed instead. WHAT?!? No! Who goes to bed at 630?? I want to enjoy my peaceful nap right where I'm at. But instead I was woken up and my nap time was ruined. And now my brother has come over with pizza... Revealing that the real reason I was so rudely woken. Because they're currently benging on Star Wars and my nap location was an inconvenience.
@Charla1224 my H is always waking me up to ask me silly questions like that too and it drives me nuts! He has a habit of waking me up 10-20 mins before my alarm goes off to tell me the time (he says he worries I forgot to set my alarm) ruining my last precious minutes of sleep before I have to get up!

They mean well but it is super annoying.
OMG BOTH OF THESE! I love my boyfriend to death but he does this ALLL the time!! He tells me I'm an "angry sleeper" because I usually don't take it well when he wakes me up. No no no... I am a very happy sleeper, I am angry being woken up when I'm perfectly content!
I know it is Wednesday, but yesterday was particularly TW-free so here goes: My TWs today are my phone for deciding not to wake me up (I looked at it at 7:04 and it said "Alarm set for 6:40"...well, why didn't it go off then?!), the driver of the van that comes to pick up the people next door who decided to park in front of my driveway while loading up passengers (I didn't want to be a jerk because they are disabled veterans, but I needed to get going!), and then finally the swan that decided to SAUNTER across the road and then glare at me with murder in his eyes when I tried to swerve around him. I have had multiple run-ins with wild turkeys so I know better than to piss off large birds, but I was in no mood, swan!
I was a TT but forgot to post it last night. Our mail man is a lazy POS. he will literally park the mail truck and play on his phone or iPad for an hour before he delivers any mail around here. Yesterday he dropped off three packages that were not ours. I should have taken them to the correct door when I went to the gym but I wasn't sure which one it was (we live in apartments) so I was going to have DH do it. When he got home he said just leave them there and ups can pick them back up but I told him it was the mail man. So instead of him taking them when I asked, he left them on the porch while we went to dinner. Well, we came back and two of the three boxes were gone. Someone clearly stole them. Now not only am I upset that someone snuck up on our porch (and it looked like someone was home because our Christmas tree was lit and the blinds were closed so it looks like lights were on) but that they stole stuff right off of it. Wtf? And when we got home the footprints on the bottom step were still wet. I CANNOT wait to move out of this place. Nice apartments, nice people, but the people who hang around here are pieces of shit and most of them don't even live here. So I guess DH and I are also TTs for not taking the packages sooner.

Is it possible the people they were for came and got them because they knew they were for them? Sometimes USPS has tracking, so it's possible your neighbors went looking for them.

Okay, I'm adding to this again, even though it's no longer Tuesday. One of our dogs (the biggest one at 90 lbs) has anxiety when it rains or when the sky thinks about raining. Don't know where you all live but the east coast has had some nasty storms roll through. Needless to say, the anxiety started last night when the rain really picked up. I'm on bed rest due to bleeding and a tear in the placenta and I'm not supposed to lift more than 3 lbs! Well my stupid dog crashed through the gate that keeps the dogs downstairs off of the carpet, ending up in my room. Which would have been fine if she would have been calm but no. In no time she was on the bed standing over me! I had to drag/yank her off of the bed more than one time which caused some pretty severe cramping. Then I had to basically pick her up to shove her out of my room and in the hallway. At which time she decides to start chewing through the wall at my bedroom! I tried to get her calm in another room but no luck. The second time she slammed into my door and I thought she would beak the door. So now I'm dragging an almost hundred pound dog down the stairs. Mind you, at this point this has been a two hour fight and it's 2 am. And every time I try to move this dog it causes cramping. And makes me cry! On our way down the stairs... We fall. I slid on my butt down at least 6 stairs, my neck, back, butt, and yes my stomach/lower abdomin is cramping again. I finally shove her in a dog crate (for the husky who eats the food off the counter when we leave the house). I pull the crate to the middle of the room so she can't eat anything through the crate and I make my way back upstairs to go to bed. Unfortunately, she ends up clawing and scratching at the crate for hours. Hubby was away on business and came in around 5 am. I'm still awake, and beyond words flustered.
I rescued her from the pound when she was only 12 weeks old but she was turned in as a stray. She's always had storm anxiety but it's never been this bad. I love my dog, but I honestly had fantasies last night of sending her to my moms. I can't be fighting with a huge dog when I'm on bed rest! I'm so aggravated right now!
Update: she's almost 7 years old now. I've never in my life considered getting rid of one of my animals before, they are my children. But the thought of my due date in May, and winter storms, April showers... And the fact that they probably won't ever lift my bed rest restrictions makes me scared that if this episode happens again, I'll severely hurt myself, baby, or worse... Lose the pregnancy.
@babykasper You've probably already considered this but...what about medication? Your vet should be able to prescribe you anything from OTC Benedryl (sounds like your dog is way past this though) to heavy duty meds. We have a nervous dog (again, not to that extent, I don't think) and a thunder shirt worked to a degree as well. Maybe a combination of things would help. I imagine that 4th of July isn't pleasant in your house either...
@Aquinna82 yea we've tried the Benadryl and it does nothing. I haven't thought about asking the vet for drugs though. Maybe I'll make that call. And the thunder shirt is a joke to this dog! I'm seriously at my wits end and the pregnancy hormones are not helping either.
@babykasper I totally see the shirt being a joke...I think it's a joke for most animals that have true anxiety. I'd make the call to your vet...nothing to lose and everything to gain!!
@babykasper Professional dog trainer here who specializes in anxiety.....definitely go to the vet for some heavy-duty meds. But it can take some time to find the right medication and dosage; some vets also won't prescribe certain medications unless you are doing training as well. There is noise sensitivity training you can do, but that's really the last thing you should be worrying about right now. And yea, thundershirts are pretty much useless, and can often make anxiety worse.
Honestly, if you can send him to your moms (or somewhere else), I'd do that, along with some anxiety medication. I can't imagine dealing with a 90 pound dog with severe anxiety while having the problems with your pregnancy. Right now, I won't even go near any dog that could be a problem, and I have a healthy pregnancy. Just not worth it.
@TheThornBird thanks for the advice. I appreciate it. Hubby and I talked about it and we are going to call the vet to see if there's anything that can be done. It's not th noise that gets her. Fireworks are no issue. I think it's cause she was a stray in South Florida during a hurricane before I rescued her from the pound. Honestly, other than the anxiety... She's the perfect dog! Potty trained from day one. She's never destroyed my property. She's protective of us. Super quiet. Super gentle. Never barks for no reason, doesn't run off, doesmt jump up on people, doesn't pull on the leash. Etc. I've trained dogs and horses for years (not in the last 5 years since getting married), including horses for mounted patrol. But I'm at a loss with the anxiety. I seriously don't know what the solution is. Or how to help her. And I feel guilty for wanting to dump her on someone else (like my mom), but you're right... I can't do this fight again. So far I haven't had any bleeding today from last night but, my whole body is sore still from falling down the stairs... it's not worth the risk. I'm just lost.
My TW for the day is Bank Of America. Honestly, I don't know why I continue to use them. I changed my name IN SEPTEMBER and had to request a new debit card 3 times. On the 3rd attempt, they actually managed to get one in the mail to me. They did not, however, tell me that the card already in my possession was being turned off...I found this out when my autodebits starting bouncing (awesome). So today I finally get a new debit card (having been without debit access for 2 weeks) and....it still has my MAIDEN NAME. Are you f'ing kidding me. How is it even possible to generate a card with my maiden name when the name on the account has been changed for THREE MONTHS??
But not to worry, they are shipping me a new card...which I will receive in about 2 weeks. Aaaand the card I just received today is being shut off since "that wasn't the card that I was supposed to receive." Yeah no shit.
I'm quoting my own TT to say that they expressed my new card to me...got it today...opened it...and again it has my maiden name. Wtf.

My shocked face is around here somewhere. Took them 5 months, and asking for the same paperworktwice before they could cut me a check in a name I could cash it in.

My dog freaks out when he hears thunder or if it starts raining heavily. The vet prescribed trazadone for him. I've seen a lot of improvement. He's still anxious while it's raining but on a much lessee scale. Good luck with your dog & your pregnancy.
