Someone I went to school with from K-12 is a Facebook friend (he friended me). He now lives in Houston. The last few days have been nonstop self-promotion. I honestly think he's hoping to go viral and get some recognition 'cause he hashtags the crap outta everything. "Here's all my footage and pictures of this. Here's pictures of that. This #Hummer #whatevermodel is no match for #HurricaneHarvey ! Here we are taking donations to a shelter. Including clothes because I lost weight when wife had the babies." It's gone well beyond trying to show people what is going on and is full self-involved AWing. And he's doing it all wearing a t-shirt that says "Relax. I can fix it."
He did the same thing when his wife had twins. Here they are in their #Chicco wearing the latest #Gymboree fashions #everybrandweveusepleasegiveus$$&recognition.That was annoying AF but it wasn't anywhere near as gauche.

@kiki75 That is awful!!! I hope his shirt gets muddy and ruined. Some people are just asshats.
My WTF is the schools are closed today because of Harvey, and typically the state(where I work) closes when the schools close. Not this time!! We still had to go to work because the ppl that run the show here are all older men who do not know what it's like to have to take your OWN LEAVE to stay at home and watch your kids.I'm a FTM so this doesn't affect me (yet) but it's infuriating!!! Close the State when the schools close!
* Edited to add they AC still hasn't been turned on yet either so it's also hot in here. WTF.

My eyes! Yesterday I woke up and my left eye was burning so bad. I couldn't even wear my contacts. It got better so I wasn't worried about it. This morning I wake up and my right eye is doing the exact same thing! Whyyyy?????
WTF to myself. One of my apps asked if I was feeling movement yet (15 weeks) and so of course now I'm worrying because I haven't— and I know better than that especially being a TTM, maybe it's the PGAL brain? I don't know. I need to chill.
What in the actual FAAQQQQ to my coworkers... I don't know who did it. But my supervisor pulled me into her office this morning to talk to me. Let me start with this; last week we closed the bank early to have our all bank meeting/celebration in the park. The meeting was from 4:30-5 and family could come around 5:15 for the fun and food after. Well, my husband got off work at 4:30 and showed up around 5, but I waved him to sit further back while we finished our meeting. So that was a freakin' week ago...
My supervisor told me today that she wanted to tell me before I heard it from others, that people were talking about how my DH was there BEFORE 5:15... like seriously? Is that all these effin' people have to worry about is My husband!? WTF? I am so livid right now. They're like a bunch of freakin' middle school girls causing drama! My husband wasn't the only one that arrived early there, either. But for some reason, they pinpoint him... why? I don't know. He literally is the sweetest guy ever and would do anything for anybody so I just don't get it. Why bother talking about it? Is that the best thing they can come up with?
Well... they've now pissed off the wrong pregnant wife. You don't get to talk about me family. EVER.
@kiki75 Ewwww. Reason # 6420739 not to be on FB...
@chasingroygbiv Oh no! This is one of those times when Google may actually make you feel better
My WTF goes out to my phone. I have my NT tomorrow and have to travel for it, then driving across the state Friday for the holiday weekend, and my phone chooses today for all apps to just totally stop working. There's no time to get a new one before we go. Which means I'm gonna be sans TB for 4-5 days and have to share MH's phone on the trip like it's the 90s.
@crossfitbabybump That is the stupidest thing ever! Plus if it's at the park, then they can't tell people when they can or cannot be there. Anyone can go to a park at any time!
@crossfitbabybump That is the stupidest thing ever! Plus if it's at the park, then they can't tell people when they can or cannot be there. Anyone can go to a park at any time!
Thank you! I am just annoyed that people are "talking about it" like it's gossip. WTF? Grow up people. -_-
@kiki75 stuff like that is why I can't mess with FB. The self promotion during all this mess....I can't.
WhyTF is my younger cousin going to decide to go "MISSING" the Friday before one of the worst natural disasters ever?! He's gone off and done this thing where he doesn't want to be bothered. So he won't answer the phone, return texts,etc. And now people are frantic because he decided to have a mood during the worst possible time. My family wants to go out looking for him. Nope, not down for the shenanigans today.
@crossfitbabybump ...if my work colleagues decided to complain about some thing so harmless, I'd be just as upset. Not only is it a public park, but he didn't sit down and join your meeting, so people should mind their business. Unfortunately, some of the people at your work sound like they may be stuck in highschool.
@cford80 I hope your cousin is safe, and decides to let you guys know. It's a pretty selfish move to keep you worrying, and potentially put in harm's way if anyone chooses to go searching.
Mine is autocorrect. It's seriously driving me crazy. It changed a message to my SO's dad to "that's a vCard pair of shoes! And he loves the pencil crab!" It was supposed to say "that's a very cute pair of shoes! And he loves the pencil crayons!"...I really don't want to send vCard messages to anyone else though...
@kalawa I second the auto correct. my phone uses swipe to type and I swear, it makes so many grammatical errors and changes that I sound esl half of the time.
you all must think I have terrible gr/sp. lol
in reality I'm just too lazy right now to go back and correct unless it completely messes up the msg
I put a picture on FB today of baby's ultrasound and my "bump" and T's grandma comments asking why we never put up pictures of our daughter anymore.
1.) my mom guilt is bad enough without you acting like I can't post pictures of one child without posting pictures of another.
2.) I just uploaded pictures/videos of her like two weeks ago and it's about to be her first birthday so there's going to be plenty of pictures coming soon.
We live very far away. So I get it. But these are people who never make an effort to come see us. We always have to come see them. If you care so much, put effort it and come see your great grandchild.
Ugh. I'm not crazy about this woman to begin with which I probably why I bothers me. But ugh.

Definitely stuck in high school. My protective wife mode was switched on. Like, who does that? Complains a week later... get the FAQQQ over it. lol
@ShawnnaO Have you heard of the Tinybeans app? It is a free app where you can post pics/videos of your kid and only share it with friends and family. I love it bc my goal in life has been to not be the annoying oversharing mom on Facebook assuming rando people I knew in high school want to constantly see pics of my kid. I have a friend like that and her posts about her kid's pooping habits make me worry he will hate her one day. Anyways, it helps keep family and friends far away feel like they are involved. My family loves it!
@amylonghorn I have heard of that but honestly I share on FB the same stuff I would share on the app, so they wouldn't get any more pictures than they do now. Plus the relatives always complaining about it are also the relatives who would have no idea how to use an app like that.
@ShawnnaO@kalawa found him at a friend's house only after his sister went to the house to find him! No phone call, no text, perfectly fine. And that's why I sat my butt on my couch eating me Lucky Charms WTF indeed
My wtf is to my placenta. Just found out today I have an anterior placenta AGAIN. Not sure why it bothers me so much, maybe the fact that I'm sad I probably won't feel movement until well after 20 weeks? Idk. And worried about having a c section with an anterior placenta.
My OB just prescribed me a new fast acting anti-nausea med. Go to pick it up tonight and the Pharmacist warns me that one of the side effects is an upset stomach.
@bb3vj3n, the pharmacist looked surprised when I said "Are you kidding me?!" And his response was "Uhhh hopefully it's not as bad as what you're currently experiencing". He looked uncomfortable.
@chasingroygbiv, it's called "Metoclopramide Hydrochoride". I've never had this prescribed before. It's supposed to be fast acting. I took it tonight and it took the edge off. I still feel a bit nauseous. But I haven't thrown up and I always throw up every evening!
@chasingroygbiv, I will! I'm cautiously optimistic! I feel like such a druggie now. I'm taking 14 meds a day (1 prenatal, 6 Diclectin, 4 progesterone, 1 thyroid, and now 2 of these guys). For someone who barely pops a Tylenol, this feels like a ton!!
@justkeeptrying that's Reglan. It's a great med for nausea! And honestly, every med can cause some sort of upset stomach they just have to 'let you know' even if it's for upset stomach. Kind of silly
@kalawa YES. Someone needs to explain to autocorrect that there are almost no times when I need to text the word "ducking". Seriously, autocorrect? You know what I fucking mean.
@cford08 No one should take any risk looking for him. My mom had one firm rule: you don't do anything to scare her.
Why can't anyone behave in a hotel? Last night the guy next door was having a super loud speaker phone call sometime after 1:00. I don't sleep lightly and he woke me up. Someone's damn car alarm has gone off 4+ times since 10:30. And at after 11:30 two ladies were chilling in the hallway having a really loud conversation. And as near as I can tell, they were sober so it wasn't even like they thought they were being quiet. It sounded like they were right outside my door but they were at least 20' down the hall. And the one seemed annoyed when I stepped out. So I gave them the Lumbergh "If you could take it down to the lobby, that'd be greaaat."
