The TW in my life right now is the nurse at DSs pediatricians office. I just took him in for his first sick visit EVER because he's been spiking fevers of around 103.5 that aren't going down with tylenol or motrin. I took a look in his ears and throat but just wanted a second opinion on whether he needs some antibiotics or not. The nurse told me "he doesnt look that sick" and insinuated that I probably wasnt taking his temperature correctly.

After the third time she rolled her eyes at me, I informed her that I was a pediatric provider and I know a sick kid when I see one. It shut her up, but it took everything I had to not scoop him up and walk out. A parent should never feel like their concerns are not warranted.

@clover28 That is terrible!!! Like you don't already have enough on your mind, why is she trying to add stress to your day?!

Sugargirl1019 · June 2016

Whaaaaat that's awful @clover28. No mom should EVER be told their kid doesn't look that sick when they are very concerned! At least back up that statement with some data for why he's not that sick.

Sugargirl1019 · June 2016

My TW is work. That is all.

I love nursing, and caring for people, but this environment of feeling stressed all the damn time at home because of all the extra things we have to do is getting to me. Can I just work like 2 days a month? And be a SAHM? (My manager doesn't employ "useless" positions like that - not cost effective.)

clover28 · June 2016

@PennStateCait @Sugargirl1019 After the nurse left and the doctor came in, I told the doc what the nurse had said. She told me that I was completely right to bring him in, which made me feel better. Like, that's my kid and he's sick. I feel completely helpless and that nurse ruined my day. I understand that kids get sick all the time, but who is she to dictate who is sick enough to need to be seen and who's not?! Her job is to take vitals and a history of illness, not to make me feel like a piece of crap for wasting her time.

My TW is insurance and dentists, yet again. Got my root canal yesterday and need to go back to my regular dentist for the crown. Well, it took so long to get my root canal we moved 2 hours away. So, we drove 2 hours back yesterday for the canal. And then tried to set up my crown. They have to wait until hopefully today for insurance to approve it before we set up an appointment. I need to at least get fitted for the crown within 2 weeks. The lady acted like that was just not possible. I said, it freaking better be because the last thing I need is an infection after waiting almost 3 months for the root canal. And we will have to drive back 2 hours for the fitting appointment and then drive back 2 hours again for when they put the crown in. Ugh. It would be cheaper to just pay someone out of pocket here rather than drive back. But, I am too nervous to try and deal with all of that while I have a ticking time bomb in my mouth with this temp filling.

NurseMarie9 · June 2016

My TW: landscaping contractor. Got our landscaping done last week and I'm really annoyed that they removed some of my perfectly good plants! When our design plan was done, the plants hadn't come up yet, so maybe the workers didn't see it in the design plan but STILL why would you remove perfectly good plants? I'm more so upset about the front area, they removed 4 plants so there's a big empty spot there!!! The landscape contractor was apologetic, said it was a misunderstanding because the design plan showed an empty there (yeah, b/c my plants didn't come up yet when he took those pics and I later told him that my plants came back up there so I didn't need new plants in that spot). Why would I want to remove plants and have an EMPTY spot there?! He said he will replace and replant with any plants I want. Too bad my plants were rare hybrids and probably can't get them anymore. I don't even know when they're going to replace them, it's almost July...ugh.

canokr01 · June 2016

@clover28 Oh my goodness! I'm sorry you had to deal with that!
My TW is myself...I had been doing so good with my workout program and getting up every morning to do it and my eating was going okay, not great, but not terrible well the past probs 2 weeks or so my eating has been TERRIBLE and I have not been getting my workouts in!!! NO ones fault but my own! also Im not drinking enough water like I normally do and have once again been back on those sugary coffees and I have had a soda everyday since friday

i never drink that stuff really! at least not that much!

GrabberBlue2010 · June 2016

@mrsstuessy - So sorry, but I could not even finish reading your post. I am terrified of the dentist, and I could see 'canal' and 'crown' and you lost me. So sorry you are going through stuff in that department.

clover28 · June 2016

@NurseMarie9 Oh man, I would be so angry at that landscaping contractor. Sorry you're dealing with that! Hopefully he puts some nice plants in soon!

[Deleted User] · June 2016

@clover28 Good job standing up for yourself and your kid!
@NurseMarie9 Oh NOOOOOOOOO!!! I would be in tears and hysterics. Hopefully they canmostly make it right? :( now my tw doesnt seem that bad, also garden-related...

My puppy us the TW bc one of the four peonies I potted, which my Mil gave me for my birthday, was starting to come up so nicely! I've never grown peonies from scratch, so this is a big deal for me. I was so happy, I almost took a picture! (Even though it really doesn't look like much of anything yet) lol Another one just has the tiniest mini-sproutlets, so I'm all, cool! Even if 2/4 take, that would be BRILLIANT!!

...until I go out there to water and see that the dog has freaking EATEN THEM!! WTH, dog!!! It has such a nice little leaf sprouting up, almost 3" tall, and you have to go and freaking break it? Needless to say the plants are going to be better cordoned off from now on... :/ I am still sad about it...

Aurora1973 · June 2016

My TW is OH's lab. We tried to take his "specimen" in for his SA yesterday and got the most ridiculous response. His urologist requested it to begin treatment for Low T, and our local lab gave him a labeled cup and instructions. We had to take it to the one place that actually processes SAs locally, which is about 35 minutes from our house. When he walked it in, they told him there was no order from his doc for it, and treated him like an idiot for not knowing that...even when his doc had set everything up with our local lab, so it appeared we were good to go. After everything we did to get it there within the hour required, they let it sit at room temperature while they waited for the authorization. Um, it's not like people randomly like to bring these things in, in a labeled specimen cup, for jollies. And this is time sensitive, yet they let it sit there becoming probably unusable, waiting for a stupid fax. We are both going to go apeshit if we have to do this again. Ugh.

canokr01 · June 2016

@Aurora1973 Oh no!! I am so sorry that sounds seriously SO frustrating!!

housewifehobbyist · June 2016

@NurseMarie9 I would be SO upset!! I'm sorry.

@Aurora1973 That is so frustrating. I hope the sample is usable and your H can get his treatment.

Mine is kind of lame, but I manage a small office and handle HR duties, among others (I have my PHR). Our insurance broker is nice enough, but is a twatwaffle because he literally calls me every day, and every call should have been an email. Some calls are to say he sent an email, five minutes ago. STOP. CALLING.ME! I am trying to make time to bump and I do not also have time for your nonsense friendly hellos.

mrsdaddario · June 2016

@Aurora1973 That is a horrible process to have to go through to BEGIN with, let alone to then have road blocks with it. I'm sorry that happened! That's so crappy!! If it's any consolation, DH and I live 1.5 hours way from the clinic we got his tested at. They told me there was a 2-3 hour window in which I had to get it there in.

Edit: Because consultation is NOT consolation....

swanbrooner · June 2016

Mine is my sister-in-law. Let me preface that I do genuinely love her, and this total situational twatwaffleness.

She texted DH yesterday morning basically saying they needed a dog sitter for the next 10 days, but not really asking if we could do it. There were legitimate reasons why she didn't want to board her, but now we have an uninvited house guest.

DH and I have two dogs, a 25 pound mutt and a 10 pound miniature poodle. Her dog is a total sweetheart, but a Boxer who is bouncing and hyperactive. The boxer pinned down my poodle yesterday when they got here and scared the crap out of him. Now I feel like I either have to be on high alert for the next 10 days or to keep her separated from my little guy. I'm also trying to finish two Masters classes this week, so the timing is horrible to be worried about anything else but being a paper writing champion.

Aurora1973 · June 2016

Thanks everyone. I knew you guys would understand! @mrsdaddario, yes that does make me feel a little better! I'm just hoping the fact that it cooled off isn't a problem.

NurseMarie9 · June 2016

@canokr01 I'm really bad about sugary iced coffees and I have had a couple sodas a week in the last 2 weeks. I need to get better at that too! Iced coffees/lattes are so good in the summer though.

@mrsstuessy oh my that sounds painful! I'm sorry you're going through that. I am absolutely terrified of the dentist and having to make multiple trips sounds awful.

@clover28 hope your DS feels better soon!!

@BusinessWife I was so upset! Hoping they will replace them soon. And sorry about your poor peonies!

jatwal128 · June 2016

My twatwaffle is my sweet tooth. I had to go out at lunch to grab a few things for dinner tonight, but i also came back with toasted coconut chips and york peppermint patties. now i'm just sitting at my desk again mindlessly eating all of these snacks that I didn't need

i blame the GTKY question in WTO today because i feel like i need ALL of the food!

mrsstuessy · June 2016

@GrabberBlue2010 @NurseMarie9 It was actually not bad at all yesterday, during my root canal. I was super nervous, but there was about 5 seconds of pain and for the rest of it I was super relaxed and almost falling asleep at one point. It is difficult to eat today, but I have been having pain there for the last 3 months. So, I am more than willing to put up with "healing" pain today. Dealing with the idiots at the office and with the insurance is actually a lot more of a headache than the actual procedure.

canokr01 · June 2016

@NurseMarie9 UGH yes! They are the best!!
@jatwal128 Yes my sweet tooth is outa control too!!!!

krys-2 · June 2016

The guy sitting next to me on my flight is a TW of the highest degree. He's having conversations over iMessage with about 9 people. But instead of typing like a normal person, he's doing voice recordings and sending them. I think this is why they only give plastic cuttlery now.

housewifehobbyist · June 2016

@krys Oh my God, I would fashion a shiv out of a hairbrush if that happened to me. Inconsiderate people are the WORST- why can people not figure out how to act in public spaces vs private?!?!

mtmama2 · June 2016

@Krys I hate it when people use the voice recording features in public!! That shiz is for when you are alone at home or driving in the car ONLY! I would flip out if I had to listen to that over and over again!

krys-2 · June 2016

@housewifehobbyist I might because I'm about done and we have 14 hours and 31 minutes left on this flight. Also, the bulkhead is apparently a footrest for his comfort

NYTino24 · June 2016

The employee from the building next door is a TW for using my car's trunk as her shelf... WHILE I WAS IN THE CAR!!! A parent once set her purse on my front hood until I went to open the door to get out too. And that's just what I've seen from inside my vehicle. Either I have to park far away and the remote starter won't work or park closer and get random marks from things like that and kids' book bag zippers!

canokr01 · June 2016

Can I have two twatwaffles???
I mean the first one was myself .. the second one is my friend...So i sell tupperware as a side buisness and My friend is hosting a party tomorrow and I normally just do book/online parties, but last second the girl who was going to do my friends party cant so she asked if i would do it and I would get the commission and yadda yadda.. So I said okay i would even though I'm nervous and do not want to talk to people and yeah not my style...well now my friend is totally flaking out about even having the party at all! and like she lives an hour away and i dont want to drive after work that far for a party that she isnt even attempting to try to get ppl to come to..like just straight up cancel it please, instead of being like "well honestly everyone has to work" and just stop beating around the bush...and to TOP IT OFF, my brother in laws fiance is having a tupperware party tonight and(she also signed up to sell it and thats a story for a different tuesday) and i was not going to go as many of you know its my anniversary and my hubby was going to plan something but since I decided to do my friends party, i thought i would just go to my soon to be sister in laws and get a "reminder" of how in home parties work.....but now my friend is most likely not going to have hers so really no reason to for me to go to this stupid party tonight when all i want to do is stay home with DH and watch season 7 of Pretty little liars! but its too late to back out of the RSVP. also its an hour away too..but at least there is a Diary queen i can hit up my way outa town! haha
so i am all ranting and im sure my grammar and spelling is horrible!!

KirstinH88 · June 2016

@canokr01 First of all I want to say, I hate flakey people. I hate people who make plans and then don't follow through. Especially when there are other things I can be doing. But mostly, I commented to say "OMG Pretty Little Liars!!!!!" I can't wait to watch it! Although, we recently cancelled our cable and will have to wait until its on ABC Family to watch it. So maybe tmrw morning while I'm getting ready.

canokr01 · June 2016

@KirstinH88 She is the queen of flake!! I have many stories but no need to be rude I guess..HA yes PLL!!!!!!!!!! IM SO EXCITED!! i hope i get home decent enough that I can watch it!! but who am I kidding I will stay up late to watch it !!! I'm going to make sure the DVR is set before I leave!!!

KirstinH88 · June 2016

My TW is my husband. I handle our finances because he has no concept of a budget or how to save money. We have a joint account, but we have decided that whatever OT he works, he can keep that money and use for his own wants and desires. Meanwhile, OT for me is not an option, so I pretty much get nothing (even though I make more money). Anyways, I filled him in on the state of our finances THIS MORNING and let him know that I would like for us to spend with a little more caution for a little while because our son's birthday is coming up in 2.5 weeks and I don't want to have to charge the credit card if we don't have to (something we are majorly trying to pay off at this moment in time). Now, he texts me saying that he wants to take $100 from the joint account (not his OT money) to go towards buying tires for his "fun" car. Seriously? Ugh. And if I say no, he turns into a 4 year old. Repeat to self: I love my husband. I love my husband. I love my husband. I love my husband.

QueenOfGlitz · June 2016

Just dropping in to say I love this title of this discussion.

I wish I hadn't stopped watching PLL. Now I'm too far behind and not motivated enough to catch up.

KirstinH88 · June 2016

@QueenofGlitz I'm just going to say, its totally worth it to binge watch and catch up.

LittleChick2 · June 2016

@QueenOfGlitz Netflix has all 6 seasons if you decide to catch up. I quit watching it a few seasons back and got all caught up in the middle of the 6th season. So ready for season 7!

MollyandD · June 2016

My TW is the guy from Enterprise Car Rentals who lied about my car inspection. I got the bill for damage to the trunk from blue paint. I have explained that the TW employee never opened the trunk during our walk around, but he told his area manager he did. I'm BEGGING them to check surveillance footage, but they are ignoring my request. They have no proof other than this guy's word. The fact that the paint was dry when I gave the car back should be proof alone, as it wouldn't have had time to dry if I'd done it. I'm so stressed about this!

From now on, I'll never rent without video footage of the inspection, and I'll NEVER rent from this company again.

kiki75 · June 2016

@MollyandD Contact the state attorney general and see if they can do anything. Maybe the BBB, too. Do you have a local reporter who does stuff about consumer problems like Jesse Jones? And a letter to Enterprise corporate mentioning that you're contacting the attorney general. Don't give up! If nothing else, dispute the charge through your CC. The whole story is a straight-up big-ol crock-o-shhhhhh. He told his area manager y'all opened the trunk on the walk around? B****, please. I have NEVER had someone open the trunk during a car rental walk around. Ever. Everrrrrr.
eye roll james harden side eye bitch please bai

eye roll james harden side eye bitch please bai

BertieMeetsGertie · June 2016

Ok, I'm very new to this but assuming a TW can also be a thing, mine would be my dress zipper that just decided to break this morning right when I got to work! UGH. Thank goodness for sweaters and coworkers with safety pins!

mollsagni · June 2016

My TW is AF. I'm in classes all day as a student so an 8+ hour day sitting is uncomfortable and strange enough to me, but it has been made 10x more uncomfortable by cramps and bloating. Wah.

I feel like Toddlers and Tiaras Schumer.

MollyandD · June 2016

@Kiki75 you have great ideas! And yeah, they told me opening the trunk is part of the training of the employees and that he would have done that. For real though, security camera footage would prove that the guy is lying but they won't even respond to my request. I'm communicating with them strictly through e-mail from here on, because the area manager lied and twisted my words around too. I lost my trust in that company. I'll look into a BBB report, and I've already told my CC company not to allow payment to them. I am just worried they will report my nonpayment to my credit report.

canokr01 · June 2016

just an update...She canceled her party...after I went to the other party hahafhadsfkjdhasfdfs

stillclever17 · June 2016

@clover28 I'm impressed you didn't walk out! Just shows how important your child's health is to you. Obviously it's nothing to her. Jerk!
