Monday Bitchfest

Megzb510 · March 2016

Lets hear 'em ladies!

Megzb510 · March 2016

Why do holiday weekends always bring out the crazy posts? Do people think alllllllllll weekend about how they want to tell a TTC message board their pregnancy symptoms?

beary67 · March 2016

@Megzb510 These people are making me crazy!!!

Neikoda · March 2016

Megzb510 Yes. Like I didn't have a hard enough weekend with two pregnant family members and a 6 month old baby there. Now I have to have you rub your potential "surprise" in my face.
bitch please

ChaoticWolf · March 2016

@Megzb510 definitely. It's the weekend crazies.

MBF: I woke up late today. Our normal Monday Morning Meetings at work start at 10. I rushed into the office, got here just in time. I walk through the door: no one's in there because the boss is sick. The boss didn't email anyone ahead of time to let them know the meeting was cancelled. I'm now angry because I could have grabbed a coffee on the way here.

Rottiemom86 · March 2016

@Megzb510 everyone I refresh there is another one! 4 now?

Neikoda · March 2016

Another one...
reactions baby please really shade

I'm so over today.

Lecool · March 2016

Totally agree. So over it today.

I do not understand how it is so hard to take a f-ing pregnancy test. Open box. Read little paper inside. Follow instructions on paper. Evaluate result. Confused? Re-read little paper. It really isn't that hard.

RIGHT! Why is there first instinct to come to the interwebz and ask strangers if they could be KU!?! It doesn't even make any sense!

momtoleo · March 2016

Ha! I just came in here thinking "my Monday Bitchfest is going to be all these crazies coming out of the woodwork." Guess everyone had the same thought...

Why doesn't the US consider Easter Monday a holiday? It's so tough with Easter on a Sunday (and it's ALWAYS a Sunday, not like 4th of July, etc.). I got up at 5 am this morning to get back home from my in-laws in time for work. Just a tad bit cranky.

ladystinson · March 2016

WTH happened this weekend? I go missing for an extra day and a half and AAAAAALLLLLLLL the crazies show up....

beary67 · March 2016

I work in a place full of adults. Why is it so hard to keep the community bathrooms clean?? If you pee on the seat, clean it up!! And how hard is it to flush the toilet?!?!

Sparty18 · March 2016

I agree with all of these, but yes @beary67 I couldn't agree more! I am shocked at how many times I go in the bathroom at work and I'm just like WTF, I know all of the girls on this floor, so who is doing this... and why?!?

Lecool · March 2016

@MamaMunn Also, when people ask "Is X a symptom?" I just want to be like:

Neikoda · March 2016

beary67 Luckily there's only 3 women who work on the side of the building that my bathroom is in, so it stays pretty clean. Although we recently had a visitor from accounting who broke our toilet seat. I'm not sure how, but it was the good stall too where we have a cabinet for our "lady products".

Neikoda · March 2016

Talk me down ladies. My blood is boiling...

GAHHHHH. So background - I'm a public high school teacher. It's that time of year - standardized testing. The state I live in recently made it so you DON'T need to pass the state test in order to graduate. So now massive amounts of students are trying to boycott the test, or purposefully do poorly, which in turn drags down the "grade" of the district, potentially changes how we are funded, how we are ranked, etc. Like DUDES - this is basically a free day for you. Just take the multiple choice test, do at least an average job, and chill. There is no need to freak out and make a huge political statement out of this.

And the worst part - THE PARENTS who enable their kids to skip the test or even try to make meetings with the principal to complain - like he has any control of it. This is a state mandated test. You'd have better luck trying to make an appointment with the state legislature. Maybe instead teach your kids accountability and responsibility.

Neikoda · March 2016

antoto What's wrong with people? Is taking a standardized test that hard? I hope the students get it together before testing time. I know how big of an impact that can have on your school.

Zoey1019 · March 2016

@antoto I feel like kids nowadays ( i sound so old saying that) constantly feel like they have to boycott, or make sure everyone knows how they feel about something. JUST BE A KID! Man.....that doesn't even exist anymore. I loved standardized testing days! No homework! Short day!

canavara · March 2016

Maybe I'm crazy but I sometimes enjoy the rando drive-bys when they get all combative in response to people telling them they're breaking the TOU. Only the ones where they don't come bumbling in with an already positive test though and post photos. Those people are TWs.

MBF: I'm Facebook friends with a woman I grew up with and somehow stumbled across an alternate FB profile of hers where it's really obvious she's cheating on her husband. Because she has pre-teen kids who use FB also, I used a throw-away anonymous FB account (since I didn't want to personally get involved) to message her and let her know "you may not realize this, but this alternate profile of yours and all of the photos and statuses on it are publicly viewable to anyone..." She read the message but the profile is still there.

So many levels of "IDGI" going on there. Cheating on your spouse to start (they just got married less than a year ago!). Then making it publicly accessible... so that your kids might find it.

whiska · March 2016

@kirby1220 Giiiiirrrrrl, I say this all the time! Maybe I'm lazy af, but I think that if a recognized holiday falls on Sunday, we should "observe" it the next day and get the day off work. I'll take it unpaid. Just don't make me come in. This goes for Easter as well as New Year's Day, St. Patrick's Day, 4th of July, Veteran's Day, Christmas...

Also we should all get the Monday after the Super Bowl off. A full third of the country watches it and that game and all the attendant brouhaha goes late!

Neikoda · March 2016

whiska Yes. I agree 100%. Although I do get New Years Eve and New Years Day as paid holiday so I can't complain.

mrsdaddario · March 2016

My MBF: I posted some of this in the WTO but, sitting for a three hour glucose test right now, for PCOS and I've already been asked twice now what I'm having. PCOS. I'm having PCOS and not a baby. And then, both times I was asked why I am having the test done if I'm not pregnant. None of your business. That's why.

Neikoda · March 2016

**TW loss mentioned**
mrsdaddario I'm sorry you're dealing with those insensitive people. I completely understand. First set of blood work, this women was talking about how her mother had 9 kids or whatever assuming I was getting it done because I was KU. I promptly informed her that I was there because I cannot seem to maintain a viable pregnancy. Also, after my last day 21 blood test the women next to me asked why I was getting bloodwork done. I was over it that day and straight up said I had two miscarriages. She shut up pretty quickly after that one.

sldp123 · March 2016

@mrsdaddario @nwegman7878 I'm sorry you have/had to deal with that. I can't believe people actually straight up ask strangers why they are having medical testing done. Who does that??

ETA: My MBF is kind of along the same lines. I ran into an old coworker in the cafeteria today and she congratulated me on our new house (she saw I had posted about closing on FB) and then proceeded to ask, "so when are you having a baby??" I really wanted to say, "well, it's CD1 and this will be our 10th cycle trying, but thanks for asking!"

Neikoda · March 2016

Today's has just been a nightmare and it's not even noon.

Pretty sure during lunch I'm just going to do this...

linzrunz · March 2016

Ditto to all the crazies comments. I know it's not Wednesday but....WTF??

Also...MBF to DH. Pretty sure he is still in bed and sleeping on and off. He did work graveyard this week and is trying to catch up on sleep, but he has literally been in bed for 12 hours. And he took a two hour nap after Easter dinner yesterday. And I've been having insomnia like crazy. It's making me mad. Plus he's sucking at text responses. I text him that this cycle didn't work and I was sad about it. No response. No response. (even though I can see he read it) Finally responds with "How do you know?" Oh you know...I asked random strangers on the internet and they told me because that's how it works. (Ugh...) I took a test this morning. "Oh." And that's it. Thanks for the support.

FSUNole31 · March 2016

My bitchfest is my will power. I did so well last week with my workout plan and eating plan...Easter came and I can't stop the candy and now I have cookies and cupcakes in the house. Must. Stop. Eating.

Winnie81_Old · March 2016

I wish there was an in-law rant thread. I had an overdose of MIL over the weekend and I'm still tense from her.

cjt121413 · March 2016

@mrsdaddario I'm so sorry people are rude and dumb. I wouldn't fault you if you punched someone for that.

@nwegman7878 I'm sorry you've gone through that too. Good for you that you were able to be so direct with people.

@FSUNole31 I'm right there with you on the will power. The Easter treats don't help.

My MBF is people who don't say thank you. For example, this morning, I was getting into the elevator at the office and I saw three men walking toward the elevator. Although they were quite a ways away, I held the elevator because I'm a polite person. Not one of the dudes said thank you. I get that everyone has their own stuff to think about, but take two seconds and be nice. It makes the world a better place. Politeness police, party of one.

momtoleo · March 2016

@whiska Absolutely, 100% agreed! Monday mornings AFTER a Sunday holiday are the worst!

Can we make one of these and have it pinned? So many of us have in-law problems.

I would love that! I know that not everyone has turmoil with their in-laws, but I think for those of us that do, it would be a great place to vent.

meilay · March 2016

I can't seem to get my water intake together and I really don't know what's going on with me. I have a brutal headache and I know it's from dehydration. It's not even like I'm drinking more fun things!

Also I have to go to the dentist tomorrow so I can get started on a treatment plan. I was honest and told them I was TTC and wanted to get my oral hygiene together (it's awful) before getting KU. I'm just glad my dentist is really, really nice and has lots of high tech equipment that makes it somewhat more enjoyable to go. Although inside I'm still pretty much like

There is a temp for another department who sits behind me and my coworker. She brought fish for lunch and heated it up in the office microwave, then stuck her head around the corner and apologized for bringing fish today. I can't stomach seafood or the smell and really, microwaving seafood in the office kitchen is breaking the cardinal rule of being a good coworker. It's disgusting up in here...

kiwieloping · March 2016

WTH is going on today with these randos and drive-bys?

I'm sitting at my dealership for an hour for a job that was supposed to take 5 min. Although super annoying I'm being very entertained by all the great gifs everyone is posting!

Oh I could go on and on about my MIL too. What a great idea for a thread!

@meilay I just wanted to recommend the app called Water Logged. It helps track your water intake throughout the day, allows you to set goals and alarms, etc.

aammyy33 · March 2016

So this is totally a #firstworldproblem but my MBF is Netflix not working!!!!! Canada has a different set of channels than the US and for the past year we have been paying to use a proxy server to access all of the American content. Apparently Netflix has caught up with it all and have cancelled our access to the extra content as of today!!! Ugh, so much less selection now, and two shows we were in the middle of are gone!

meilay · March 2016

@beary67 Thanks! I've been using an app called Plant Nanny for about a year now but it's no longer working. You grow little plants by "watering" them every time you drink water. Maybe a change of app would give me more motivation. I think I'm just in a "bleh" phase right now and need to shake things up.

beary67 · March 2016

@meilay I do really well with my water intake because I drink sparkling water and I LOVE it. My bottles are 33.8oz and I usually drink 3 while at work and another one after work. It might be something to also try!

MrsJ2410 · March 2016

Agree with having Easter Monday, I am so tired. And its rainy and gross here, too cold not to wear my parka, but steamy and humid on the subway.
@cjt121413 that is literally my biggest pet peeve. DH's as well, and he does not hide it well. Once, I did say pretty loudly " your welcome" to someone who didn't thank me for holding the door open, but I am too meek to constantly call people out on their rudeness.
@meilay I just did that as well, I hadn't been to the dentist in MANY years and needed to get things in order for TTC. Good luck with everything!
