The plow guy is a twatwaffle. He plowed maybe half of the parking spots in our community so now there's no where to park. This happened last winter and it got so bad that I had to park in the middle of the street a few times (we live in a small, private community so it's more like a long driveway with parking spots off to the side). The only way he'll do his job right is if you stand out there and ask him to plow individual spots. I mean, it's not rocket science... If you see snow in the street, push it out of the way.

My twatwaffle this morning is the rain. I realize we live in a rainy climate, but do you think you could make it dry so I can walk the dog.
Our dog is such a diva that she won't go outside in the rain. She would rather hold her pee for 12 hours than go out.
Lol mine too! Will go to the beach and swim willingly, loves exploring the creek, but the tiniest condensation on the grass and she throws a fit! She will stand there just cryiiiiiing and not pee.

ohinvrtedworld & SheilaTheTank Yeah, they're pretty awful. Last month, I wound up having so many problems (completely losing internet at night), so they sent a tech at 8 am on a Saturday. He couldn't find anything wrong and wound up coding it as a problem in the house (because the problem is at night). We were charged when I asked someone in chat and they specifically said that there is no charge for the visits and I would be told if there was something the tech needed to do that would be charged. I called and yelled at them when they told what their policy was and that I should have known about it even if I was told differently. After writing a message on their facebook wall, they decided to give me a credit for the call. Every time I've talked with them since, they want to send a tech first thing in the morning on a Saturday to look at the problem. (I won't take time off for them during the day during the week) As soon as we get the IP situation figured out (I'd love to not have one in completely the wrong time zone), I'm done talking to them.
When we moved into our new apartment it took 3 techs to fix the problem. The first made a temporary fix. The second broke the temporary fix as well as severed the wire for the cable connection to our house! On top of that he offhandedly made a threat to my husband who was not there. (me jokingly: I'm going to have to strangle my husband for not writing down what he needed done. Tech 2: I'll strangle him for you) WTF!! Told my husband and he was pissed and it takes quite a bit for him to be pissed. He flipped out on the phone with comcast and demanded they send an in house tech not a contractor. The 3rd tech showed up on time, was very professional, and fixed everything. It still took two more phone calls with comcast to get the bill straightened out but we learned to never ever let them send a contractor again.
When we had Knology (now WOW), we suddenly had no internet or TV. I called them, and they said they could send a tech in 2 days or we could wait for the emergency tech. The emergency tech would NOT call ahead and we couldn't be guaranteed a time frame. I asked for the emergency tech because I was taking online classes and NEEDED the internet that day for tests. After lots of phone calls and my dad (who is disabled and has tons of time on his hands) talking to them, they finally got someone out there and gave us enough bill credits to cover our last couple of months with them. The guy said someone had turned our internet off in the box for the building instead of someone else's. So this entire thing was their fault even though they kept trying to say that it was a problem with our modem (that we owned and didn't pay them for). They never sent us our refund check because we kept accruing "fees" on the refund because we didn't cash the check we never got.

The person at work who took the last cup of coffee this morning without starting a new pot is a twatwaffle. Now I have to wait 5 minutes for a new pot to brew.

I would take DSL over Comcast. I keep trying to get AT&T, but they will only take so many customers in our area until they get their infrastructure built up.
We had it but our signal was terrible. It only worked half of the time. And with no cable and streaming Netflix, it would always crash. If I was watching Netflix, I couldn't even browse facebook at the same time. Plus it was 50 a month! We pay 50 a month for Comcast plus free HBO. Just that the customer service is terrible.
We always had a promotion with them and our signal was wonderful. Even with 3, we were able to stream Netflix to 2 devices and use our phones. It may also help that I've always lived in medium-sized cities with people who really do need their internet. And the companies pay well for good internet.

Is that even legal?
Probably not. Notice the circular logic they had. In our town, Comcrap is a step up from WOW.

Probably a silly question but have you tried a raincoat or booties? I used to have a diva chihuahua mix. He refused to go outside with a coat if it was under 60 degrees. He wasn't a fan of the booties but I hear they work for others.
ETA: just saw you have a large breed. My lab liked his raincoat. He woukd want to stay out longer. We bought them each one for the fun of it.
Tapatalk is a twatwaffle, or maybe I am. Although I do like the app, I can't get it to view newest posts and I can't get it to view the correct time zone. Also, it seems like the reply button isn't working, only the quick reply option. Maybe my phone is the twatwaffle.
Also, another twatwaffle is my sister. She is trying so hard to put out there on Facebook that she is madly in love with her fiance by tagging him in every post every other hour. And this is including after he gave her an ultimatum and after he's taken passive aggressive digs at her on his Facebook page. I understand that she may love him and she wants to try and make it work, but I don't want him to hurt her again and I don't have a good feeling about it.
Is this the sister who has her boyfriend's initials tattooed on her wrist? Or am I mixing up stories?

My twatwaffle is my stomach. I braved the roads to get to work during yesterday's storm only to have call out today. I can't figure out what's triggered this IBS flare-up but it's preventing me from leaving the house today.
Edit: I suck at proofreading. Left out words.
I have IBS too, so I totally validate your feels. It's the worst!

My twatwaffles are my shoulders. I had a massage on Saturday and the lady said my shoulders were horribly tight and I needed to stretch them. Now I still have my headaches that originate from my shoulders/neck in addition to the muscles in my upper back hurting.

Pfffft.
Ive never had a massage because I'm always afraid I'll get injured. I also don't like the idea of a random person rubbing their hands all over me so that's probably my bigger issue with the whole thing.
Okay, I know that "anything before 'but' doesn't count," but a friend of mine is irking me.
One of my co-worker friends throws herself a birthday party every year. It's a load of fun -- hour of power, videos and music, lots of drinking, etc. Last year, she set up a photo station with a remote controlled camera with lovely lighting so everyone looked pretty great. It's a blast, everyone gets pretty hammered, and a lot of people that go are co-workers so it's good bonding.
That birthday bash is coming up in a couple of weeks. She's mentioned it, talked about it at happy hours, encouraged people to come. One of our co-workers, who we all really like and try to include (she was new last year) though we understand she's a bit more reserved and introverted (she's constantly telling me how introverted she is...it's like, okay, I know, so am I, I get it), has been all avoidy on the subject. She wouldn't really give a reason why, just kind of saying she was shy or whatever. Yesterday, I broached the topic again with her. This year, it's a pajama party. H said he wanted to buy tux pj's so he would feel fancy. I was telling her how he found those silky suit pj's like Barney wore on HIMYM and told her she should come just to see that. She got all weird again...but finally gave me a real explanation.
Basically, she's still upset that people didn't pay her enough attention on her birthday. Her 30th, which she kept saying she didn't like, etc. So, obviously, no one really made a big deal because she acted like she wasn't happy about it. So I guess she doesn't want to go to another co-worker's birthday party (that, again, she is throwing for herself regardless of who comes) because no one made a big deal out of her birthday.
Because, apparently, we're all five year-olds.
I was so stunned. I mean, we're adults. Adult birthdays aren't that big a deal. I went to a famous bar for fried chicken with H and two friends. Would I have liked more to come? Sure. Would I have gone if it were just H and me? Sure. It didn't matter. I was doing it for myself. So I'm just kind of like WTF with her today because she really needs to grow up. No one's going to walk on eggshells around here for you.
tl;dr: A friend is acting like a child about birthdays.
The mother who failed to tell me her 18 month old was puking Sunday night yet she sent him to school yesterday and now all my daycare babes (and myself) have been exposed. I doubt she would have ever told me if it wasn't for the grandma dropping him off today and she told me that the child's mom is now home throwing up. The carelessness of some people aggravates me.

Ya a lot of people I know don't like them. I don't mind strangers touching me. FFTC?

+1. I'm scared but know I should go get one. My back is messed up.

So she's mad that people didn't squee over her Bday which she purposefully acted like she didn't want to have? Sounds like MUD. Let her stew in her own sorrows and have fun at the party.

My twatwaffle today is our foster puppy. He is adorable, but the whining all the time if someone isn't paying 100% attention to him is going to drive everyone crazy. It is going to be a long week of trying to instill some training before he goes back out to adoptions on Saturday.
Me: 30 DH: 29; Married: September, 2010 TTC #1: April 2013 Benched: May 2013 Cancer(DH) Off the Bench: September 2014 July 2015 ER low sperm count and motility(radiation side effect). FET September 1,2015. BFP 9/9/15.- 3 on the way.
One, my body sucks. I am spotting and CD1 will be here any minute now. And my cycles are not getting shorter. 39 days, 35 days, 37 days (three cycles off BC so far). It is such a long wait until I O.
Two, my puppy, Oliver, has decided he hates pooping outside. He prefers the dining room. He is 10 months old and we should have him potty trained by now, but he is stubborn.

I also love professional massages. +100 if there's no talking involved. And if it's almost painful.
MH and I don't exchange gifts for holidays, but he often surprises me with certificates for massages
Our heater is a twattwaffle. Last night it got down to 20 and our heat stopped working. It started blowing out cold air. It was 62 inside when I got up at 2.
Ummm. 62 is cold?? DH reset our thermostat to be 62 at night now and I keep waking up hot. I think our thermostat drops to 60 during the day.
Hope you get it sorted out!
+1.
62 is the temp we set the thermostat at nightly and while we're not home. It briefly goes up to 66 for an hour or two after we get home from work.

My twatwaffle today is myself. I dont even know if that counts. I am eating all the things and I need to stop eating all the things but all the things are delicious.

I'm in the same boat. I just killed a kit kat, and now I'm thinking of grabbing a bag of chips..
