Uh WTF Wednesday?!?

[adetheridge]

Let's hear it! 

[adetheridge]

OMG! Let me start by saying alarm clocks will be the death of me. The dang thing was set and ready to go last night and POOF didn't go off this morning. So at 7:10 I wake up in a state of shock and freak out. (I really need to be at work by 7:30 if not before) Luckly, I live 2 seconds from my work but NOT THE POINT -_- and DF was awesome enough to get my lunch together and all. Grrrrr -___-

[SassyPants150]

WTF DH. I got up an hour earlier than usual because of my 5th trip to the bathroom. DH asks what I'm doing up followed by "Uh Oh...you're nesting!". I'll nest punch you in the face if you don't shut up with stupid comments before I have coffee. Like hell I'm going to do anything extra before leaving this morning.

[bethypoo83]

WTF drivers!! Took an hour to drive 20km to the train station this morning. Accidents everywhere! Weather is perfectly clear, no ice on the roads. Just people failing to pay attention to what they're doing. So frustrating.

[amylee545]

WTF plow men!! We pay $280 per month in condo fees, which is supposed to cover snow removal. I'm well aware that we got 33 inches of snow, but it's not that big of a condo complex. And the snow stopped last night. Is there a reason why My car is still BURIED in my driveway??!! It's a good thing I don't have to work today.

Ugh my phone was doing that every once in a while before. I turned it off and on again and it was fine. I didn't sleep for weeks after that though in fear that it wouldn't go off and Id be late for work.

[amelandre]

Wtf hotel...your "hypoallergenic" hand soap does NOT seem to be hypoallergenic.... My hands are on fire.

[adetheridge]

SassyPants150 I am DYING. My DF asks me the same thing. Why are you up? Well I have this child thing in me and it makes me pee 3513516900000 times a day. The best one he has asked is why do you have your phone in the bed with you EVERY morning at the SAME time. Oh ya know I'm just talking to someone at 6:00 -_- no you dork I'm turning off my alarm until the last second.

Mine is the exact same. Every night, EVERY time I get up to pee he says "are you ok??? Is something wrong???" No duh...

My husband is a CO, and was apparently forced to stay for the overnight (stupid blizzard). According to him they don't give a minute to call home and let your family know that you will be staying an extra 8 hours. So I spent the night wide a awake worrying that my husband was in a snow bank all night. He did get home this morning as I was walking out the door to head to work myself.

Wow that's awful. I would NOT be a happy wife if my H's work wouldn't allow that, especially in a blizzard. U bet your ass Id be making a stink about that.

[jennadesigns]

WTF tooth? You've hurt off an on for the last six months and now that I'm going to get a crown this morning, you feel fine. Makes me feel great about shelling out hundreds of dollars and putting up with having fingers and drills in my mouth all morning. I'd almost feel like I was getting my money's worth if it at least hurt. I hate the dentist.

[brittneysandra]

WTF Im Stuck.
The plows have plowed me in and my car is under 3ft of snow.
DH works for a utility company and hasn't been home since Monday.
I tried some shoveling last night but than the snow would cover what I did , OR the plow would just screw me over right after.
WTF.

WTF mother of my DD's friend:

One of the girl’s mothers decided to stay for my DD’s 2-hr playdate tea/cake party. She awkwardly looked around…really studying every structure of our home. She proceeded to sit right beside the girls the entire time during their tea party, and then pretty much shamed me for being a working mother. She goes “So you work? That’s too bad. I get to stay home with my daughter, and it’s what all mothers should do. I mean—my husband makes great money, and a woman should honestly never have to work. I bet your kids are sad all the time.” I looked at her like “What bitch?!” (without saying it) and replied calmly “I didn’t earn three college degrees and work my butt off to get the great career I have. In fact—I also own my own design company on the side, and am proud of my accomplishments. My kids actually benefit greatly from two incomes in the home, and are not in the slightest bit resentful or sad. They enjoy going to school, and we spend tons of quality time together in the evenings and on the weekends. I couldn’t be happier.” She then shut up and stared. Then—about 15 minutes into the tea party, the girls themselves asked her to leave the room “You can go now. It’s girl time!” I about spit my tea out! She got all uncomfortable as I smugly walked her into the living room away from the girls.

DD1!!!! For the love of everything sacred in this world, either blow your nose or let me suction it! You do not have to be this miserable!!!

3yo problems.

That is so rude! I would have a hard time inviting her back.

@ajzmommy, alwayslastzz, sabriel - She was one of those bitchy spoiled women who thought she was a god. I felt, in this situation, it was best to educate her with honey rather than vinegar...even though I wanted to punch her face in. She needed to learn a valuable lesson that working moms are good moms, too.

I don't know how you kept your cool. It would have been like WWE in my house after that shit! I get it, some people were raised to think that women shouldn't work. But some people were raised by a mom who HAD to work to keep food on the table! Ew. She puts a bad taste in my mouth.

I would've lost it too.  I was raised by a single working mom who bent over backwards to balance her time at work with her time at home.  Regardless of how much my husband makes, I would still work at least part-time by choice.  But I would never go into her home and tell her that it's "too bad" she has to stay home with her daughter all day.  She sounds like a real asshole.

I'm so happy you put her in her place!! People like her are embarrassments to all SAHM!! I would never in a million years look down on a working mother and it's drives me insane when women do! (And of course it works the other way around too-when ppl look down on SAHM. Everyone just leave each other alone!)

Are you kidding me!? What is wrong with people? Excuse my bluntness but what a BITCH. I just love how people think they are entitled to an opinion on other people's lives.

@ldsdesigner
I'm giving you a standing ovation in Canada right now for taking the high road. Handled perfectly

Edit - just to add I think she's a massive cuntface

WTF body?! My back pain kept me up most of the night. Called a chiropractor and the soonest they can see me is Friday. I could call around to get somewhere sooner, but because of all my ailments I haven't worked much.... And this place offers a groupon for 40 bucks off of the first visit! Reputable chiropractor as well. It hurts so bad but 40 is better than 100 when you've been off of work.

My fiancé's eyes popped open and he was asking what I was doing up? He had the confused sleepy face. I said I can't sleep. He replies, "oh me neither then!" With an attitude and falls back asleep lmao. Like dude.. Don't fuck with me right now.

OMG I would have died of worry and probably called the cops and filed a missing persons report. I hope you kicked his butt when he got home.

WTF coffee. I decide to go full caf today instead of the usual 1/2 caf and I don't feel any more awake than usual. I do have to poop though, so that makes me happy.

Wtf doesn't even begin to cover this. Would I like to stay home and have an immaculate house and be the person to completely raise my kids? Ya. But I also love my job and the people I get to help. I was put here for a reason and it wasn't just to take care of kids. I'm sorry that happened to you.

This! Why does everything always have to be a competition? I've never had any intentions of being a house wife or SAHM, but that's how my cards have fallen. I work my ass off around this place every day because I don't ever want my DH to come home and wonder what I did all day (not that he would, just the way I think). Running a home is a full-time job and I honestly have the utmost respect for working mothers! I have no fucking clue how you manage to make it all work! I would also love to be able to contribute financially! 

There must've been something else going on in her world. I can't imagine someone being that snotty in your own home just for the hell of it. I'm sure there's a bit of jealousy there. You handled it like a champ, cheers to you!

WTF?! I missed a phone call from my mom while in the shower. I left my phone on the kitchen bar, so DS had to drag his table over and climb on it to get my phone. It looks like he then dropped it in the dog's water bowl under the bar, and then got his clothes soaking wet when getting it out of the bowl. He then hands it to me in the shower, getting both him and the phone wet again. Phone is fine, he will be fine eventually. My mom kept calling, because she spam calls but it is never important, which upset DS even more because he hates missing calls, but he was also crying because of his wet clothes and because he was missing his kitten video on TV.

[lgsdesigner]

veganontuesdays - Yes, she is a total bitch. Next time there is a playdate, I will make it very clear that she can only drop off her child and not hang out. The sad thing is-- her daughter is an absolute sweetheart.

staccajaye - Thank you. I only handled it that way because we had a work-required stress management course last year, and they taught us "How to deal with jerks" and "How to pause and breathe when things get messy". She is very forunate I took that class to heart.

My WTF is toward my DH. Why can't you get up when your FIRST alarm goes off? Most people don't need to set 4 alarms 5 minutes apart and hit snooze on them when they go off. Just get up after the first one!

@jessmar - My DH does this constantly, and it's the most annoying alarm sound ever.

[Starbuck128]

Another WTF, this one towards DH. Thus happened a few weeks ago, but it is still bothering me. He offered to help vacuum because he knows that can really hurt my back right now. I explained that he needed to also vacuum under the furniture. He gave me a weird look and proceeded to only vacuum a few inches under the furniture. I explained that no, he needed to take off the hose and get down and really vacuum under the furniture because that's where all the dog hair ends up. He thought it was insane to go through that much work to clean. HTF does he think the house gets clean? Fairies? Elves?
