Whatever/whoever decapitated all of the lavender buds off my lavender plants last night is a twatwaffle and needs to be punished...

Did someone actually go out of their way to do this just for shits and giggles. Wtf. Also, that GIF is amazing.

I doubt it was a human, it was probably a rabbit or mouse or something. BUT we were outside yesterday talking about how pretty our lavender plants were this year and shortly after that DH got onto the construction workers who are working by our house, because they keep using our yard as a picnic area and then leaving the trash in our yard when finished. This is just the paranoid part of my brain talking but they have been extra noisy by our house all day, starting at 6am. I think we made their shitlist.

My TW for the day is my sore throat/earache. At this point IDK if its a nasty double earache that has bled into my throat, or if its a sore throat that has bled into my ears. Or if its something else entirely. It has been over a week since I noticed it, and I am tired of only being able to eat soup as everything else hurts too much.

Ouch I'm sorry you're going through that. You should go to the doc and get that taken care of. Ear infections are the worst. If you are into homeopathic remedies instead of modern medicine I would suggest looking up garlic oil for ear infections. I've never tried it, always went to my doctor for that, but I have a few friends that swear by it. I hope you feel better soon!

The girlfriend of one of my husbands friends is a twatwaffle....

Tw (idiot with a BFP mentioned)

This girl posted this in mid February but it just recently popped back up on my newsfeed and it made me angry. The post literally says "BAM! We are going to be parents!" And there is a photo of a positive test.

As if that in itself was not enough... She says she is due in the end of November... (Remember she posted a positive pee stick mid feb)

The math is not adding up here....

If I had conceived this month... My edd would have been the end of November. If see had just gotten a BFP in mid feb... I would have put her in October.

Soooo this is what I think is going on:

1. she messed up the math and should have said October. But she is still announcing and posting on Facebook in a super tacky way and at like 4 week. Therefore she is a stupid twatwaffle

2. She is further along and peed on a test to have a pic for the announcement but still can't figure out the EDD and announced on Facebook in a super tacky way. Therefore she is a stupid twat waffle.

3. She is not pregnant and is just a lying stupid twat waffle.

There is a trend here... Either way... I told DH I was worried about his buddy.

princesslockness · March 2016

@Winnie81, Thank you for the advice, I will most definitely look up Garlic Oil.

I have an app tomorrow. I have tried gargling salt water, vinegar, and apple cider vinegar. I have used hydrogen peroxide in my ears, and everything else I can think of. I just kept hoping it was a 2-3 day thing, but its been way to long and I can't take it anymore.

eta: @furbabymom2007 I am sorry that your DH's friend is with such a TW. I also agree with the trend in your thinking. I have a friend whose announcement was a large sticker on his GF's stomach saying 'Whoops, Due X/X/2016'. I had to walk away from the computer before I yelled at them about their baby seeing that he/she was a whoops later, and having issues with it.

Neikoda · March 2016

@Kate08Young I hope you feel better soon! I'm glad you're getting into the doctor soon.

@furbabymom2007 She sounds like an absolute TW. I wish your DH's buddy good luck. Isn't there a rule about not sticking your D in crazy? Idk, I would probably punch her in the face but that's just me. Also, I'm a bit emotional at the moment so my advice might not be the best.

I've never met the girl otherwise I might consider it lol

Dilynne · March 2016

@Kate08Young Whenever I think I have an ear infection and end up at the doctor, it is almost always a jaw problem from my TMJ and with a session of physio it goes away. Here's hoping it's not serious.

NamelessAria · March 2016

I'm just going to throw this out there. Either a couple of the new posters we've had lately (not naming names here) like posters who say they're TTC but don't want the child they have and don't want anymore children either are either trolls with MUD or they are super twatwaffles.

YES. I missed the comment before it was removed but got the gist of it. I just can't even begin to comprehend...

Yep. I think they are trolls with MUD which makes them twatwaffles in my book.

CajunSnowWhite89 · March 2016

@NamelessAria I meant to say this yesterday, but I envy the way you can stay calm and still give actual advice when people are calling us bitches and fuck tards. You're so understanding and I just don't have that in me lol.

I hadn't even commented on the post so she obviously wasn't talking to me directly, but I still got really pissed and wanted to yell at her.

Dilynne · March 2016

I have a long twatwaffle.

My best friend asked my sister out at our wedding. I was super jazzed for them.

Well... long story short she wanted a break, then she begged to have him back and he never recovered from the fact that she wanted that break so he broke it off. It has been 3 long weeks of her telling me this is all his fault and how DARE he go on a date (even though she went on one like, 3 days later). I finally called her out on her sh*t today and she's not speaking to me and got my Dad to call me and tell me she's not speaking to me. Are we 12?

CajunSnowWhite89 · March 2016

@furbabymom2007 I have a friend who told me (a few months ago) she was due at the end of July. And I know she said July because she was talking about how much she was hoping it would come before August because she's a teacher and she is hoping to be back to work by mid September. Turns out she's due at the end of June and was just confused. How do you forget your own fucking due date?

anyways, there's definitely something sketchy going on with your friends GF.

Agreed, @NamelessAria you have some magical patience. It's hard enough for me to keep my mouth shut let alone say something supporting and calm to a TW like that. Go you!
nice applause clapping clap good job

Neikoda · March 2016

Dilynne Your sister is being a total TW. She needs to grow up and take responsibility for her own actions. I bet she's at home enjoying her pity party.

@CajunSnowWhite89 That makes me so angry. I understand maybe saying "oh I'm 18 weeks along, oh wait it's actually 19" but I feel like she just added 9 months instead of doing the math and knowing her actual due date.

I switched OBs at 20 weeks. They had my EDD different by 3 weeks. One had it mid July and the other one mid August, while according to my chart(first ever month so it was really messy) it was the first weekend in August.
So maybe its not her math that is off.

ETA: Either way she is still a TW for not realizing/correcting her mistake.

Mlight28 · March 2016

I'm the twatwaffle in this case:

Had a friend post a pic of her DD (around 5 years old) with a big sister sign.
Immediate eye roll on my part.

Went to comment section to write a "congrats, so excited for you, blah blah blah" post, and I see where she has responded to someone else that they were trying forever and weren't sure this would ever happen.

So I'm the twatwaffle for assuming all Facebook pregnancy announcements happen to people who got an immediate BFP. Lesson learned.
Also, good for her for being open with the struggle of trying for a while. I wish it was more acceptable to talk about without the looks and awkwardness that comes along with it.

RatsPJ · March 2016

Today I'm the twatwaffle. Went to the dentist and was blissfully unaware that not flossing was such a big deal. I am reminded of the importance of flossing with every visit, however I filled out my medical history form today saying I was TTC. Since my teeth are good but gums are bad, I got a stern talking to about the risks of pregnancy gingivitis. I've read about it, but didn't think it was that big a deal... until today. So yeah, I'm a naïve TW.

Now I'm going to have to google that. You're not the only one who didn't know anything about that lol.

Crud. I have a cleaning appointment at the end of the month. Did you HAVE to tell them you're TTC? I live in a small town (and my best friend works there) and we aren't telling anyone because well... small town. I didn't even think about that! I don't think I'm getting x-rays or anything. Just my semi-annual cleaning.

Also FWIW, I don't think you're a twatwaffle.

atcwag · March 2016

My Mabis is a TW. Why do you beep sometimes and not others?

NamelessAria · March 2016

@CajunSnowWhite89 and @nwegman7878 Thank you ladies. You're making me blush!

I'm not sure I have as much patience as you think though. I often initially want to tell them to just f--- right on off once they start saying we're all bitches and such. And I don't always have something nice and helpful to say on a first draft for a response.

izza2 · March 2016

Hubby is a TW for just being a general dick the past few days.

My Micro professor is a TW for being an asshat. I missed test corrections last week because I was sick, and did them on Thursday before lab. He told me to use my textbook for the corrections, and that I only had 20 minutes to do it.
He emailed me yesterday saying he's sure I'm not pleased with my grade, and that I should meet with him to discuss methods for success...
1. My grade didn't change; so obviously he didn't put any of my test corrections in. Turns out, he wanted me to put the page # I found the correct answer next to the question, so since I didn't, he's not counting the corrections. Except he didn't say anything about it, and neither did the two people I'd spoken to about the class I missed before him. So my response was kind of professional-rude, and I literally said "with all due respect, I shouldn't have to talk to more than 3 people - one being a professor - to find out what was missed during a class". His response? "come see me"
2. I met with him last week to talk about how I can do better in the class - that was when he shoved the test at me and said "do corrections, you have 20 minutes".
3. I've been emailing him for a week about this problem. A fucking week. I told the chair for the nursing department what my plan was for success this semester, and she told me it sounded fantastic, and to let her know if she could do anything to help. I'm 75% tempted to email her and tell her that finding a different Micro teacher would be helpful, but... part of me thinks that would be a bad idea...
4. I emailed the professor yesterday asking if he was free at 10:30 tomorrow so that I could meet with him about all of this, and he literally just sent me a copy of his office hours in reply. Like... I fucking know when your office hours are. I'm not asking that. I'm wondering if you have an engagement at the time and won't be free to see me, or if you'll be fucking free. Hence "are you free?".

He keeps telling us to meet with him and email him to build a rapport, and I just want to have a major bitch fit every time he says that. How the fuck are we supposed to build rapport if you're such a G-d asshole?

TL;DR: my professor is a douche.

princesslockness · March 2016

@izza2 I'm sorry your Prof is being a major TW. I'd be past the professional-rude point. You get points in my book for that patience.

sldp123 · March 2016

@Mlight28 I'm definitely also guilty of assuming that everyone who gets pregnant had an "oops" or at least didn't have to try very hard. I need to keep in mind that I don't know anyone else's story before jumping right to jealousy and eye rolls. It's really hard though when announcements are popping up on social media daily.

MamaCoffin · March 2016

There's a poster (don't worry... She's already knocked up so it isn't one of you guys) who doesn't know what the heck she's talking about. Ever. She pops up EVERYWHERE. She white knight's anyone who gets upset because someone else presented them with nice, solid, scientific advice. She also can't spell to save her life. I resist the urge to type "you're" on every single one of her posts. Her posts give me such a headache that I've tried to convince myself she's a troll... But I've consulted my glowing crystal ball and it's determined that she is, in fact, a twatwaffle.

NamelessAria · March 2016

@izza2 I'm sorry that your professor is being a TW. I'm also sorry to hear about your DH being a general dick lately. I'm right there with you on the "general dick" behavior of the DH.

Which brings me to my other TW nomination: my DH. DH has just generally been very short and snappy with me. He has also generally being extremely condescending over.... everything. I am running out of patience with being talked-down to all the time. I tried to casually bring it up the other day when we when we were just hanging out around the house and everything was good. DH insisted that he hasn't been short and snappy with me and he hasn't been condescending. He told me it is 100% my imagine and followed that up with "you normally have a sensitive bone but lately it has just been off the charts." Oh is that it DH? I'm just imagining things to be sensitive about. Way to be an adult about this. So I decided I'd just gently point it out next time he was being condescending and then perhaps he would see what I was taking the wrong way or whatever. So the next morning I decided to make up some breakfast egg sandwiches. I accidentally burned myself cooking and I'm expecting that DH will either say nothing about it or say something like "I'm sorry you burned yourself. What can I do to help?" Instead I get "hahaha you're such a clutz! Like seriously you're always tripping over nothing and burning yourself. How can anyone be so clumsy? Try not to burn the house down cooking your sandwich!" And I'm just standing there like:

Later in the day DH tells me that I've been "an unbelievable bitch all month."

So sorry guys because apparently guys I've been a massive bitch to everyone and everything for an entire month now. Also I've apparently been super, irrationally sensitive. So this whole thing is probably something I imagined to be sensitive about. I had no idea.

FSUNole31 · March 2016

My local Kia dealership. I took my car in today for an 1130 appointment. At 1230 (when my car still hadn't been taken back yet) they come get me to see if I can either get a ride home or bring it back another time to drop it off because they are backed up and it may take a long time for the service. Thanks for not informing me when I arrived guys.

Wow, I'm so sorry you are having to deal with that. He definitely sounds like he is going through a TW phase, to put it mildly. Having your feelings dismissed by DH as being overly emotional or "imaginative" is a great way to create tension. What did he say when you pointed out his reaction to you accidentally burning yourself?

NamelessAria · March 2016

What did he say when you pointed out his reaction to you accidentally burning yourself?

@Winnie81 He said: "Oh come on. Give me a break. Don't do this. I don't want to fight with you so stop trying to pick a fight with me. I don't know what is wrong with you lately. You need to stop acting like I'm the bad guy here and realize that you're just hormonal or something."

@NamelessAria I am so sorry. You have been one of the most supportive women on this board and under no circumstances should your husband talk to you that way. I was so offended by what he said, that I told my husband and even he agrees that he is being unreasonable and rude. You have both been through an emotional time but it is more trying on us women. And being in a similar situation as you, it angers me so much to not see your husband supporting you in the way he should. I really hope you get the opportunity to sit down and have a good conversation to clear all of this up.

Sigh...that pretty much is the complete opposite of helpful on his part. If it were my husband, I would probably continue to point it out. I know when DH hangs out more frequently with his friends, he sometimes brings home this "bro" vibe with me, like we are college roommates or something. It will piss me off but usually my pissiness fixes it. I know its hard, but try not to take his attitude personally. You're a good person, but next time he calls you a bitch, subtly remind him that you cook his food...(kidding) *creepy internet hugs to you*

*eta and everything @nwegman7878 said. A serious conversation is in order.

penelope4612 · March 2016

@izza2 - that is annoying. He sounds like a super twatwaffle. In these situations, I'm often sort of intentionally passive aggressive. My go to would be to email the nursing chair and say "I'm trying to do all these things and it's not working. Do you have any suggestions?" to let her know that it's happening without complaining about the prof directly. But it sounds like perhaps you're more of an adult than I am.

@Ratspj - I HATE flossing, but my dentist introduced me to dental flosser picks and they are sooo much better than floss. You just slide the pointy end between your teeth back and forth 3 times for each space. My dentist said that my gums looked great after using them and it's so easy (and feels kind of nice, like a little gum massage). They look like this:

@lindzrunz - you definitely don't have to tell the dentist if you're TTC, only if you're pregnant.

@NamelessAria - I'm sorry things have been difficult with your DH lately. It does sound like he's being difficult and defensive and it's definitely frustrating to try to talk about things when he's in a place that he can't hear it.

DiFazette · March 2016

I worked as a clinic administrator for a dental office for a while. It's really important to take care of your gums when you do get pregnant. Soft tissue gets inflamed easier and you're also more prone to cavities. If you have known dental work that needs to be fixed, do it now before you are PG. just my PSA as most dentists will not do restorative work in the 1st or 3rd trimester because there aren't enough studies.
