Share 'em if you've got 'em.

WTF... I am hungry ALL the time, and NOTHING is satisfying so I eat more thinking something else will work... and nope. Baby boy must be going through a growth spurt, as the scale hasn't move much with all this eating and lack of exercising (like I say I will keep doing). Let's hope it stays that way, ha.

Another WTF... people that use the handicap stalls at work. I don't care if you use them (OK, so the people that probably shouldn't maybe shouldn't, but whatever)... but when you walk out of them, at least swing the door close behind you. Otherwise, when you walk into the bathroom from the side that has these stalls, the chance of literally running into this door (or these doors, since we have 2), is pretty high. Is it that hard to just swing back so it's not in people's ways? Annoying.

cjt121413 · August 2016

Speaking of office bathrooms. ***GROSSNESS ALERT*** There is a lady on our floor who might have some digestive issues, because the odor is...really, really terrible. I don't fault her for that. When you gotta go, you gotta go. But WTF is with the lack of a COURTESY FLUSH?! It's not hard! Also, please don't use the center stall. I'd like to put some space between us, no offense.

penelope4612 · August 2016

How come people don't bother showing up to appointments on time (or at all)? Don't call me later telling me you need to address the issues that we could've addressed during your appointment.

Christinaruth74 · August 2016

WTF baby. First, the puking for 19weeks. I'm about a week out of the woods so I'm feeling optimistic that the worst of the sickness is over. But now is the lightening crotch. My entire pelvic / crotch region is SO FREAKING SORE. All the time. I feel like I've been on a stair master for days but my butt is only getting flatter.

sourlemon · August 2016

WTF dh. He got a cough over the weekend. Went to.the Dr Monday who said he wasn't contagious. Tuesday I start coughing and my.ears hurt. Today I have a fever, body aches, and what feels like an ear infection.

Christinaruth74 · August 2016

@sourlemon oh no! Hope you get some rest and feel better soon!

DiFazette · August 2016

You guise.... I'm raging right now. I posed a question to my local multiples group (that I pay to be a member of btw) about car seats. Specifically about low birth weight and car seat checks. Somebody decides to comment that I should read a book to understand how to prevent low birth weight babies.

Oh really? You've got a book that knows more than every doctor on the face of the earth about why low birth weight occurs? Your book will prevent and eradicate pre-eclampsia, PROM, and the hundreds of other documented reasons babies are born prematurely? I mean, seriously lady.... WTF.

On top of being stupid and inappropriate for the question about CARSEATS, it's incredibly insensitive to suggest someone won't have a health problem if they read a book.

Christinaruth74 · August 2016

@DiFazette ew. That's obnoxious

phoebecar · August 2016

I agree @christinaruth. It is obnoxious! With both of my pregnancies I had pre-e and PIH to the point of bed rest for the last 2 months so to insinuate that reading a book would have helped mitigate both of those conditions which resulted in my babies being smaller than average is not only obnoxious, it's downright insulting! I'm sorry @difazette hopefully you'll get the answers you seek from someone less judgemental.

ea301 · August 2016

@DiFazette wow, that is so rude. The next time she has a question you should send her to lmgtfy.com ... muahaha

dmontgo · August 2016

@DiFazette Oh man! If only reading books took away my endometriosis, then I could have had a baby like years ago! It's so simple!

Sorry she was such a bitch.

phoenix870509 · August 2016

@DiFazette what a bitch! It did make me think of this though. Figured you'd get a laugh out of it.

slartybartfast · August 2016

No but for real @DiFazette - have you tried putting down all the cigarettes and picking up all the burgers? Wtf?

dmontgo · August 2016

So DH and I were in line at a tea place, and this lady with a super new baby boy walked in--he was adorable and bright-eyed! She stood next to me and I told her he is adorable. She said "Thank you! You're the first person to realize he is a boy and not a girl!"

I mention that we're expecting our first boy in December, and suddenly it's like the tone of the conversation changed. She got a weird uncomfortable look on her face and then stopped talking. Thought it was weird, but I didn't say anything. We got our drinks and sat down.

As she was walking out of the place, she came up to me and apologized for her strange behavior---she didn't realize I was pregnant and thought I was being strange. But apparently I "look great." She apologized again and then left.

Now I feel shitty because 1. It's pretty obvious that I'm pregnant and 2. Way to make me feel like a creeper. I just felt so embarassed. I'm glad she apologized, but jeez.

Christinaruth74 · August 2016

@dmontgo that's so, so odd.

dmontgo · August 2016

@Christinaruth74 The only things I can think that happened is she either didn't hear me correctly, or maybe she was in a PP haze and zoned out? I dunno, but it was weird for sure.

DiFazette · August 2016

Thanks all... It's so f-Ing insensitive to say that to someone when you aren't absolutely positive that there isn't a medical concern.

Lucky for me I have another one that occurred in this past hour... DS needs his asthma meds refilled. Called them into the pharmacy on Sunday. Got a message that they need Doctor approval. Called today to follow up, because, you know - it's been THREE DAYS and my kid needs this to BREATHE. I was told today that they sent a dosage that was inconsistent with the refill I requested so they put it on hold. And.... And nothing. They did nothing. They didn't bother to call me, nor the doctor. Just sitting on a medication that's rated as 'acute' for my 3 year old. She told me that 'I could call my doctor to get it straightened out' and I was nasty AF and said 'I could, but I'm under the impression that's YOUR job... Correct?'

I called anyway because I trust nobody these days. Good thing he doesn't run out until tomorrow. Bunch of lazy, inept folks at the local CVS - or I should say every CVS I've had the displeasure of dealing with.

Austenista · August 2016

So mine today is courtesy of my great aunt. At our gender reveal my bff gave us an adorable onesie that said "Future Mr Darcy" (I am a huge Austenite). I used it to post on Facebook that we were having a boy. My aunt goes over to my grandparents' house to argue with them about the name they already know we're naming our son and informs them that I'm actually naming our child Darcy.

When I explained the reference, my grandfather said, "Well older folks don't read these books." Yeah, this one's only been around over 200 years, I can see how there's just not been time to familiarize oneself with it.

princesslockness · August 2016

@DiFazette just send the twat this meme.

ashleaf2018 · August 2016

@DiFazette That was so insensitive of her! Excuse my ignorance on this, but isn't it common with multiples for them to be low birth weight anyways? I have two friends who have had twins, neither one of their babies weighed over 6 lbs. So my experience may be limited, I was just of the understanding that it's more common for multiples to be smaller. So for you to get that kind of response from a multiples group is just super weird, IMO. And then the whole pharmacy thing sucks too. I hate chain pharmacies like that, we used Walgreens for a while but switched to a locally owned family pharmacy and the customer service is a billion times better than at Walgreens. I hope you're able to get that sorted out for your DS and that your Wednesday gets much better than it has been!

PensiveCrayon · August 2016

@DiFazette Yeah, what @ashleaf2018 said...read a book next time, maybe you won't get multiples.

Seriously though, you're the one who had an emergency birth with the first, right? Gahhhhh. Sure, there are some things people can do to prevent low birth weight. Maybe. I'm not an expert. But sometimes bodies flip out, and reading a book definitely isn't going to stop that!

kbduke · August 2016

My WTF goes to myself. I had a coworker from an out of state office come down for some meetings this week. He tried to greet me with a handshake and for some incredibly odd reason I reached out and hugged him. Seriously WTF? I am not a touchy person at all and am the only woman in a very male dominated field/office. What is wrong with me? I still can't figure out what I was thinking.

penelope4612 · August 2016

@dmontgo - I desperately want to know what she was thinking. Perhaps that you were suggesting that you'd steal a baby?

@DiFazette - I hate CVS. I filled my thyroid meds (1.5 tabs, 90 day supply). 2 days later my doctor increases my dose. So now instead of 1.5 pills I have to take 2. She called in a new prescription for when the first one runs out. They call me like 3 times a week to tell me my prescription is ready - for at least 4 weeks. I've asked them repeatedly to shut off the autobot and they won't do it. WHEN I NEED MY MEDS I WILL COME GET THEM.

dmontgo · August 2016

@penelope4612 I think you are right, which is why I felt so embarassed because I'm not sure what happened to make her think that. She said because I was facing her, she couldn't tell I was pregnant (?) but then once she saw my side profile she understood that I am pregnant and expecting a baby...and that I'm not "strange."

Well, no one's ever called me creepy before so I've got that going for me.

This made me laugh so hard. Last time I was pregnant I PICKED UP A HITCHHIKER! I have NEVER done that before and it's NOT something I do... wtf?! He got in the car, saw I was pregnant confused and uncomfortable, and said no worries, he'd catch the next. Thank goodness but seriously.,,, what was I doing?!

sourlemon · August 2016

Another WTF goes to myself. I was eating corn for dinner and it felt like I had a piece stuck. Go to floss/brush/investigate and noticed there's a gap between my back molar and my gum. I have NEVER felt it before now..it's like my tooth is dissolving or something. Since I've never felt it before and it's pretty darn obvious now I wonder if I broke a tooth or lost an old filling. No way that much strangeness could go unnoticed.

I already had a dentist appointment scheduled for tomorrow so I guess I'll find out what's up.

DiFazette · August 2016

@PensiveCrayon yeah, it's none of her business but... does your book tell my placenta to not kill me - because that would be great, thanks. But I'm sure if I eat more protein that totes won't happen again. Pre-eclampsia solved, y'all!

DiFazette · August 2016

@sourlemon unless you feel anything different with your tooth it's likely your gums. Than can either inflame or retract during pregnancy. It's a real good time

I'm hoping it's a temporary thing. My last pregnancy caused 8 cavities all discovered 3 months post partum. Totally sucked after not having any since I was a young kid. So I expect some problems this time I just hope it's nothing too serious.

slartybartfast · August 2016

Do these pregnancy cavities have anything to do with prenatal gummy consumption? If so I'm gonna need to start looking at dentures...

All of my cavities had to due with demineralization because L was sucking the life out of me.

I brushed my teeth after prenatal Gummies last time. My dentist said it was 50% genetics (my mom goes to him too and she had issues post pregnancy) and 50% pregnancy crap.
That pregnancy crap would be a combo of (for me):
Drinking water with lemon the whole time cuz regular water came back up.
Vomiting a lot early on then just excess saliva due to nausea until after I delivered .
Inflamed gums regardless of hygiene habits.
Pregnancy hormones jack with teeth!
Pregnancy also can rob calcium, which definitely impacts teeth.

scatherinem · August 2016

@slartybartfast prenatal gummies are a thing?!? How was I unaware of this?? That's definitely the last time I put "vitamins" on the grocery list and let H pick them out. I've got about 2 weeks worth left of my current vitamins. Gummies here I come!

Omg you have been missing out!

ea301 · August 2016

Prenatal gummies are amazing... def recommend!

Austenista · August 2016

Meanwhile the prenatal vitamins Ive been taking smell like lean cuisine Mac and cheese.

dmontgo · August 2016

I really like Smarty Pants prenatal gummie cuz they've folate instead of folic acid. Om nom nom

ea301 · August 2016

That's the kind I have @dmontgo!

aframe77 · August 2016

Ahhhhh wtf heart burn! I don't remember heartburn kicking in until around 7 months last time. So not cool!

phoenix870509 · August 2016

My WTF comes today. Sorry, bit of a rant.

DH said we'd get bagels in the morning today. Well, he overslept so I just dropped him off at work (2 minute drive from our house). He made a big deal about feeling guilty about not going through with his promise so I said forget about it, and he said I could get a bagel if I wanted to. So I got home and plugged in my dead phone to charge and went back to sleep for half an hour. When I got up I checked my phone and it hadn't charged. So I spent time trying to get it to charge and texted him I was getting bagels, did he want one? It's 7:50, I have to log onto work at 8, so I really don't have time to wait and my phone is completely dead so I can't take it with me. So after a few minutes I text him saying I can't wait any longer and I can't bring my phone so he's out of luck. I get back and there's a missed call and 3 texts from him saying thanks for giving him time and how maybe he could have been busy working. So we got into it, I said once I did my morning procedures I'd get him a damn bagel. Now he doesn't want one. So now I feel like a terrible wife and in my hormonal state start crying because clearly I can't do anything right. So I say at least let me bring you lunch. He says he might be busy. I say I can drop it off at the front desk like I've done in the past. He says I'll let you know. That's the last I've heard from him. So WTF his hangry self (not like he didn't eat breakfast, he had a bowl of cereal).

And WTF mom. I get a call from her I have to reject because I'm on a call. I call her back and she puts me on hold. Then tells me my bank account is overdrawn -130. I freak out because I KNOW for a fact I had at least $100 after bills and frantically log onto my account. I check, and there's no overdraw on it. I tell her I've got $100 in there. So she double checks and it's HER account that's overdrawn. So she hangs up with me and just a moment ago texts me to apologize.

And finally, WTF boss. He calls an impromptu meeting with my counterpart and me telling us the CEO is not happy with production. It's a whole bunch of things, but now we have to figure out how to keep agents on the phones and whatnot. He is the problem, always taking over things and messing them up and leaving a mess for us to clean up. Then puts us on random assignments that do nothing for production and marks them as priority. When we go up on our business trip at the end of the month, this is one of the things we're talking to HIS boss about. We're doing our jobs as effectively as he lets us.

Sorry for the long rant and congrats if you read the whole thing. I'm just having a real shitty day today.
