Twatwaffle Tuesday 9/13

joyful08 · September 2016

Whos got a twatwaffle today?

WinchesterGirl · September 2016

The pharmacy last night! We go to pick up my nausea meds, which I ordered online and were supposed to be done the night before. We wait in line, finally get to the front, and the lady tells us they have no record of my order. So we tell her what it's for. Oh, ok, we'll we can fill it now but you have to come back in an hour. Fine.

We come back in an hour. Lady tries to sell us on how great the online system is, but really you need to call to confirm it went through, because a lot of times it doesn't go through. So why don't I just call to place the refill? No, really, the online system is great!

Whatever, lady!

My housemates' cat. In the mornings he needs ALL THE ATTENTION. So he spilled my nightstand water, mewed incessantly, was underfoot as we scrambled (nearly tripped me 3x), and then was climbing on us and splashing in the water as we brushed our teeth.

The lady who almost hit me while speeding the other day. I was walking out of a store back to my car on a sidewalk and she came speeding from the parking lot behind the building. I literally had to jump back and she was looking at her phone and didn't see me. She had her windows down so I said "are you kidding me?" to get her attention and I may or may not have bumped her car with the frozen pizza I was holding (my husband thinks I'm going to get beat up one day for doing crap like that but I can't help it). Stupid lady yelled at me "it's a driveway!" Um, no crap but I don't drive 30mph in my driveway and roll out in to the street without looking. Then she clearly didn't want to be confronted by me anymore so she sped out in to the street taking a left turn so cars in both directions had to stop for her.

Rachelbd · September 2016

today my somewhat minor TW is my coworker, whom I normally love, who nearly everyday since I revealed the pregnancy has been telling me how big my stomach looks. Meanwhile, I still think I am barely showing, and it's a lot of "gut" still going on. Gee thanks, being told how fat I look first thing in the morning is a great way to start my day! lol

PerraSucia · September 2016

My legs are my TW. This sunburn is so itchy I'm going to die. It kept me up all night.

HeatSparks · September 2016

@CurlyCupcake2 I just got rage for you. People are bimbos. So glad you (may have) hit her car with frozen pizza. Hopefully the pizza is still intact and she didn't cause an accident.

cantalopes24 · September 2016

One of my employees loves cleaning out the fridge. I have told her before to either send out an email before dumping stuff or do it first thing Monday morning (she's one of the first people in) because the food at that point is too old to eat since it's at minimum from Friday. Came in this morning and she'd thrown the lunch I brought in yesterday and didn't eat away. I have been looking forward to eating it since I woke up and it was the last of the leftovers. She said she threw it away because she doesn't like seafood so she thought it smelled gross. I was late because of a doctors appt and I have to leave early so I can't leave to get food and I don't have money to give to someone to buy me food so I literally have a bagel and banana and some cookies to eat today.

BlondePeanut · September 2016

Today my minor TW was having to get up at 6am for work. I point blank did not feel like getting up, my bed was so so comfy. It sucked lol
Now, having been at work since 6:55, I am awake and over it mostly, and just want to eat food lol. I already ate my breakfast and lunch....the baby is hungry today

Gretchypoo · September 2016

@cantalopes24 that would really piss me off. Can you tell her that is completely unacceptable? Idk if I could without crying or turning into a rage monster at this point...

scifichick09 · September 2016

@cantalopes24 What a bitch. Want me throat punch her for you? Ugh. I hate people like that. I'd murder someone, nobody touches my food. Not even my husband lol. I'm so mad for you right now.

BlondePeanut · September 2016

@cantalopes24 - It looks like we will be ganging up on her for you....I would have lost my marbles...food and I are very close these days...and if it is MY food or something I am craving....DO NOT EVER TOUCH IT!

varimama · September 2016

My TW is my endocrinologist or at the very least her office. I'm getting blood tests for my thyroid levels every month and I've been waiting 2 weeks to hear back from her on whether I need to adjust my meds or not. I don't think I do tbh but still it's her job to respond to me and confirm that since I am not a doctor and shouldn't be making calls on my medication dosage. I came so close to running out of meds once because their office f*&%ed up the prescription and tried to tell me everyone who could help me was on vacation. After that we considered finding another doctor but ended up getting pregnant so we talked to her first about our concerns and we worked out a system that worked for the last couple of months until now, they are back to their old games. One nurse tells me she's been on vacation the last two weeks but is back now and will call me back yesterday. I didn't get a call yesterday so I call back today and am told she's still on vacation and a covering doctor should have gotten back to me. Well no covering doctor has ever gotten back to me with this office so finally I just had them leave another message that I'm expecting a call.

Plus I'm trying to figure out if we can still close on the house we're under contract for next Thursday. The appraisal was done a week ago and the bank still hasn't gotten a report and now they're saying it can take 3 weeks to get a report so we just need to wait and see. I can't wait and see we have movers scheduled for Friday that needs to be changed if we aren't closing then, our rate lock is going to be affected if it goes more than a couple of days past our initial closing, and we need to find somewhere to live if it's going to be delayed since we've told our landlords we'd be out Oct 1st.

musicinmysoul17 · September 2016

@cantalopes24 Seriously?!? Cleaning out the fridge after awhile is one thing. Throwing out something that has been there one day?!? That's so rude!! I'd be pissed that I don't have food plus that she threw away my money by throwing out my food! So not ok!!!

cantalopes24 · September 2016

Yeah she reports to one of my direct reports so I will be having a conversation with her supervisor. I'm upper management so I have to be really careful about flipping out on people at work lol.

Vastra · September 2016

@cantalopes24 UGH that would piss me off too. We have super strict rules here about food storage, but one of them is Not Yours? Don't Effing Touch! (It would say something very close to that if I were in charge...)

birdiejo · September 2016

TW is this stomach virus me and my husband are trying to get over. We're both sitting on the couch attempting to rally and make it to my anatomy scan in a few hours.

Edited to add appropriate gif

L Jane · September 2016

@marriedhamstermom My first Endo was that way. It took forever and a day for them to call me w results. Well I found a new Endo and they literally call me THE SAME DAY with my thyroid levels! It's so nice, especially when you're pregnant and more inclined to need an increased dose.

Gretchypoo · September 2016

@cantalopes24 that was my concern. Office politics can be tricky. but it would be so hard to not say "I'm pregnant and now I have no lunch for today. Your actions have direct consequences on the people around you, have some respect for the others in this office."

yogadevil · September 2016

@cantalopes24 at the very least could you put a note with the date on your food? I know she's trying to be "helpful" but clearly her decisions on what food needs to be tossed are subpar at best

tishb · September 2016

Catch her on her way out to lunch and place an order for her to bring back (at her expense, just because she's a TW)

peachesnbean · September 2016

@cantalopes24 Dafuq? Who is that obsessed with cleaning out the office fridge?! If you're upper management throw a note on the fridge that says the fridge is cleaned out Friday evening or first thing Monday morning, labe your food and any food that is 3+ days old will be tossed. Anyone in violation buys pizza for the office.

cantalopes24 · September 2016

@peachesnbean I have several employees here who voluntarily clean windows, vacuum, clean out the toaster oven and microwave. None of those things relate to their jobs, the fridge cleaner works in my warehouse packing orders. It's really weird. I have had direct conversations with her before about cleaning the fridge out. I am just going to tell her supervisor that the first Monday of the month she can clean the fridge out and then send out an email to the rest of the staff letting them know to get their crap out of there the Friday before. It's just hard because I want my employees to use their downtime constructively so I don't want to discourage them cleaningor being otherwise productive but FFS fridge monitor is not what I pay you for.

kirstynikole · September 2016

@CurlyCupcake21ugh!!! I have rage for you! My pregnancy anxiety has been AWFUL when driving. I've been in 2 accidents due to distracted drivers, and thankfully walked away fine but with a totaled car. I am constantly driving with the mindset of the idiots around me, sucks you can't even walk without that mindset too.

@homemake ugh that virus sounds awful!!! I hope you're able to pull through for the anatomy scan!

PerraSucia · September 2016

I'm totally the office fridge thrower outer.. BUT.. it's because people leave shit in there for months and it's like a science experiment.. sometimes when some opens it, it smells bad enough for me to have to run to the bathroom to hurl.

Like there was a half drank bottle of formula in there, when the last time anyone's kid around here took a bottle was over 6 months before hand.

Our legal department had 6 people in it and we have our own mini fridge, but customs compliance who sits next to us is like a dozen people and they've basically taken it over.

PerraSucia · September 2016

oh my god I have another one.. I have vaguebumped about my job before, but I get a LOT of calls for a "great idea for a new product" and this asshole just called me and was driving his fucking car trying to explain a shoe he saw online and how he wants it in adults when it's a kids only shoe. He couldn't even tell me the name of the shoe because he was currently driving and couldn't find it online.

I sort of hope he crashes.. not like bad, but enough to be like "wow i'm a fucking idiot"

yogadevil · September 2016

Today's Twatwaffle is my washing machine. Technology is too fancy for me and I'm starting the realize just why the sellers of this house left their brand new, sparkly front loaders here. I would have too.

I hate my front loading machine.. it was my largest regret purchase.

feelingjovani · September 2016

@HeatSparks the pizza was nice and solid so it made a loud thump when I hit the car.

@kirstynikole it's crazy how distracted people get. I almost wished she hit me so then it would be in the paper that a distracted driver hit a pregnant woman.

@cantalopes24 this makes me so ragey for you, I can't believe she would throw out food that isn't expired or obviously spoiled. She wins a C you next Tuesday award.

@PerraSucia I wish jackholes will crash their car a lot. Like you not bad but enough to really mess up their day.

scifichick09 · September 2016

DH keeps trying to convince me to move to a front loader next time we have to purchase new washer and dryer (because he thinks they are better and would be easier for me to use...cuz I'm short), and I'm like "No, until you do the laundry, you get no say". I hate front loaders. Too much maintenance.

jlellis603 · September 2016

My OB office is a huge TW and I am soooo angry right now! I opted for the NT scan and called my insurance company to see if it was covered and they said yes. Sweet. Awesome. Sign me up. My OB made the appointment for me. And they made it with a place that, apparently, is their competitor! It is on the same campus as the hospital so how the hell was I supposed to know?! So know I have a nice $450 bill that I cant afford and don't want to freaking pay. And my mom is in a meeting so I cant call her and ask if the insurance company will handle it (I have insurance through her still) GRRR

EDIT: Because OH PARDON ME a $492 bill. *all the expletives*

I sold my front loader fancy machine and got a used top loader. Best decision I've made in a while.

I just may have to

tishb · September 2016

Top loaders are the best! Especially the newer ones! Outs doesn't have an agitator in the middle, and it's pretty big. I don't have to take our king size
comforter to the laundromat anymore! Best of all, no leaks like we had with the front loader!

yogadevil · September 2016

@tishb what model do you have?

My front loader has a deceivingly small drum, which apparently has to be filled *just right* in order agitate properly.

Between that, the leaks, having to keep the door open to prevent mold (and risking a kitty sneaking in there contributing perma cat hair on all clothes) weekly cleaning cycles, etc: Blargh.

This is the dream in my heart, top loader no agitator.

Officially an old person.

Yes! When we bought our house we bought new LG high efficiency top loaders. Best decision we ever made

This is me, an office of mostly men that cant even manage to put their plates in the dishwasher after using them means a lot of stuff in the fridge that is waaaaay past the use by date. Every so often ill go through everything & if its got mold on it or its past the use by then it goes in the bin. So far no one has complained but then i also havnt thrown out anything that i shouldnt have.

I was the last one to clean out the fridge in our office. I gave everyone a week's notice and made multiple email/ in person announcements. one person didn't get the memo and bitched about how I'd thrown away stuff she wanted including old coffee and her gluten free bread. lady, there were 2 pieces in that bag and if you'd labeled it OR told me to save it ain't would have. everyone else got the memo. I even spoke to you personally about cleaning the fridge/ freezer. GTFO
