My sciatic nerve has been hurting lately. It makes finding a comfy sleeping position so much harder! I already get very little sleep so I don't need more issues!
Whoever the guy was that flashed his lights to get my attention, then flip me off this morning is my twat waffle. I'm still baffled to how I was targeted for that and am even more annoyed I didn't react faster and give him the finger right back. I was using my blinker well in advance so the cars coming off the side road would have plenty of time to turn. And this guy was the second in line and still got out, just to flash and finger me!! I even said to myself "is that to me?" Yup no other cars we behind me, by then it was too late to wave him goodbye we live in a small town, I'll get him back soon enough BWAHAHAHA
My back has been KILLING ME for 2 days and nothing helps except Tylenol which I'm trying to avoid taking too often. Showers and baths don't help, nor do stretching, sleeping, laying, sitting or walking. Ugh.
A guy at work keeps emailing me telling me he needs something ASAP because he waited 4 months to get it to me. Your failure to plan does not make it a fire alarm for me. I tried to google "how to politely ask someone to stop saying asap" and when no results came up, I nearly googled "how to politely tell someone to fvck off."
@Patience7150 I think the nicest way is also the cheesiest... perhaps just a good ol' "take a chill pill" would substitute lol but if I'm in a hurry for something, my husband will just calmly tell me "I'll get right on that" but he doesn't budge a muscle. Drives me crazy, so it might be fun for you to do too lol
Today mine is the seller's real estate agent for the house we are supposed to close on tomorrow. On Friday she told us the seller's mortgage discharge paper was being overnighted to the lawyers. Yesterday she claimed it would be there by 3pm. It's now past 10am the day before closing and nothing has been received. So we're pretty sure she flat out lied to us. Wouldn't be the first time in this process as this is the 3rd extension to our closing... It sucks to be so close this time though and I think we're going to have to walk away unless they have a really freaking damn good excuse for making us extend again.

@marriedhamstermom Freaking A!!!! I hate the home buying process and how obnoxious it is.
@kswiger06 - I went to the bathroom, threw a pity party, and came back to do my job to get him off my back. It was not satisfying, and I would have much rather done nothing.
@marriedhamstermom ugh. As if closing on a house isn't stressful enough without all that. Congrats on the house... when you get to finally close on it, that is.
My TW is H's 96-year-old grandmother. She asks what we're thinking of naming this little one, and I say we are thinking Isaac. She gets this horrified look on her face and says "that's very Jewish!" I was non-plussed. Is it? Who cares?? Old people are so strange. I tried to tell her that's not an issue for us but she's extremely hard of hearing and just barrels on over me, "you should re-think it." Omg, lady. You realize I'm now even more determined to name him that?
That's what I get for answering that sort of question.
Verizon is a TW. Today was the 4th time I've had to contact them in as many months! The first 3 were the same (still unresolved) issue, but today was about something new appearing on my bill that I neither asked for nor authorized. The guy was all, "you'll need to call this # because i don't have access to the call records." No, I don't need access to the call records bc I'm telling you: I neither requested nor authorized this additional service! I still have to call. Stop wasting my fucking time, Verizon.
@tentacular old people are the worse about the names. When my sister told my Grandma she was naming her daughter Emma, she about died. Would NOT stop with how ugly it was, how it was for old people, etc. They have NO filter.
@Gretchypoo I'm so sorry about your back! I hope you find some relief soon.
@Patience7150 how obnoxious. I would just say "poor planning on your part doesn't constitute an emergency on my part". Or at this point you should throw politeness out the window and say whatever comes to mind first!
my TW today is everyone in my office. Somehow, the bathroom ALWAYS smells like something pooped and vomited on themselves, and then died in there. Today the odor was extra potent and I get the gag/dry heaves every time I have to go in there. What makes it worse is that the bathroom has the fan thingy, and yet people always turn it off. LEAVE IT ON SO IT CAN SUCK UP YOUR STENCH, GAH!
On Sunday, I bought 15 lbs of all-natural chicken breasts b/c they were on BOGO (for real, not that 50% off crap). Today, I cubed and measured them all into 1 lb increments, then put them into zippies for freezing. I only ended up with 13 lbs. I even measured my trimmings: less than 3 oz. WTF! Was the extra weight the water that soaked into the pads under the meat? I know this complaint is so minuscule, but it really irked me.
@leslie1331 That's just funny. Emma is such a lovely, inoffensive name. You never know what that generation is going to be horrified by. It seems so random. And there's no explaining your choices: you're just young and wrong and stupid.
well when I had my last appointment on Friday, the dr gave me a prescription for a maternity support belt. ive been trying to get ahold of my insurance, make sure that they'll cover the cost of it, or if I have to. so far, I'm being ducked...and to top it off I'm on partial bedrest. ive been told that the only time I can hold my DD is when I'm sitting down. shes barely 1.5 years old, she doesn't understand whats going on, she only sees that mama isn't holding her much anymore. its painful for both of us, but I'm trying to follow drs orders...and cabin fever is setting in now, severely.
OUR FAMILY is a circle of LOVE! TOGETHER we are UNBREAKABLE! FAMILY is FOREVER!
There's a RAINBOW of HOPE after EVERY STORM! And a POT-OF-GOLD at the END of EVERY RAINBOW!
So we are not closing on the house tomorrow and it was confirmed that the seller's agent has been a snake and led us on. She is now MIA and not responding to anyone... We've decided we've been jerked around enough and will be released from our contract tomorrow. It's a bummer to start the process all over but we just can't trust these people anymore and are not going to hang around waiting for several more months.

@marriedhamstermom sorry to hear. That's a tough decision to make but it sounds like that's probably for the best. If she is lying to you about this, who know what else she has lied about.

ARGH, that blows, @marriedhamstermom. Buying a house is stressful even when things go as planned. I'm sorry you have to let this house go, even if it is for the best. I hope this means that an even better option is coming soon!

@marriedhamstermom - Wow, that REALLY sucks. I'm so sorry! So you have to start your search from scratch? Keeping my fingers crossed you find something even better. After all the stress of closing on our first house last year, I really feel for you. To have to start all over? Beyond sucky. I think you win TW this week.
@marriedhamstermom I feel for you! What an unprofessional agent! I can't imagine the stress you must be under. Good luck to you!
RE: Old people..there's no point in even arguing with them at this point. That's why I always smile and nod at my 90 year old grandma and then sneak away. They don't even remember what they were talking about 5 minutes later. But I feel for them.
I'm so sorry @marriedhamstermom. That is messed up. I feel like you've been about to close for our whole pregnancies! Hoping you'll get an even better deal now that people are desperate to sell before winter.
Thanks everyone! We were looking through available properties last night and I'm feeling much better about letting this house go now. There are still a lot of options available in our price range. We did really love that house but there was a lot wrong with it too that was going to take a lot of time and money. Plus it's true we caught the listing agent in one lie but who knows what else she's lied about. It does feel like it's been my whole pregnancy so far and it kind of has, we went under contract in the beginning of July... Our realtor was one of the first people we told about the pregnancy haha.

@marriedhamstermom It really sucks thay you have to restart your search after being this far into the contract. However, if you know the seller's agent is not being honest, you really do not want to be in business with them. Hopefully this is just a sign that the perfect house is now available for you guys!
The house you backed out of sounds like a nightmare situation @marriedhamstermom! I'm glad there's other strong options out there for you, and this next one goes as smoothly as possible.
And I agree with you, if the realtor was that shady what else were they lying about??
@marriedhamstermom, I'm so sorry things didn't work out with closing on the house and you guys got stuck dealing with that scumbag realtor. I really hope this is one of these type of things where something else even better comes along for you guys!
@Jelly Bean 001, I'm sorry you're dealing with all that right now. When I was pregnant with my DD, my DS was also only 1.5 and that was tough enough without dealing with the partial bedrest on top of it! They just don't understand at that age. I hope at least your insurance comes through on the support belt for you.
