Re: WTF Friday

  • Yes. One of our tenants where I work has steaks hanging off a stick in the courtyard over a couch. Hope it's not human!

  • What is the purpose of hanging out your steaks?  You should go ask them if this means they're cooking you a nice lunch today.

    We don't know which tenant this set up belongs to! It's in the middle of a courtyard of 40 units. I just can't believe how much effort they went to in hanging them. Brought their couch outside, cut the giant branch off a tree, nicely tied up each steak, and then secured the branch to the white couch. 

    I'm even more afraid that they are going to bring this meat couch back inside and invite people over to come eat their courtyard meat on their meat juiced couch.

  • @islandmonkey8 LOL meat couch! Maybe they're trying a new thing... sun-dried steaks. Maybe they misread a recipe and are currently grilling tomatoes? lol omg. People be cray.
  • My WTF is really just a whine. Nothing beats the meat couch and IL dramas.
    I'm stuck at work and there's a Breaking Bad marathon on. WAAAHHH.
  • Honestly, I can't even put in to words how fucked up things with then are right now.

    Cliff notes: crazy SIL got secret wasted and flipped out on Christmas. Family denies problem when I suggested she need therapy/ AA and flips out. Now the aftermath is coming and we aren't speaking to her (best because when I am angry I'm not the most level headed person and I would emotionally damage her) or his parents and it's just a shit show.

    (BR post coming)

    Basically she compromised the safety of my son on Christmas and I'm not nor will I ever be ok with that and everyone wants us to turn a blind eye because SIL is in pain. And everyone thinks it's fine and she gets a pass on it.
  • Those hanging steaks are bizarre. Modern art installation, maybe? :P

    Seriously? That is not cool in a million different ways. I'm so sorry you are going through this. Unaddressed addiction problems are scary, I'm terrified of having a kid and bringing them around my brother on a bad day. Lots of hugs. I hope it gets better and your SIL gets help.

  • yikes @bruinsbabe33. I hope she wakes up and realizes that she has a problem and gets the help she needs soon!
  • @bruinsbabe33 You had every right to say something.  I hope she thinks long and hard about what she's doing to her life and the others around her, and gets the help she needs.

  • It's such a fucked up situation. They think therapy is a bad think and don't believe in getting help no matter how bad the situation is.
  • @Bruinsbabe33 - you have EVERY right to say something, ESPECIALLY if she was a danger to your son. I hope she gets help soon.

    I'm so sorry they feel that way.  My family is the same way, and view therapy as showing and admitting weakness (which is a bad thing in their eyes).  Have you thought about talking to her directly about it, without any of the IL's around?  Or would your H have any influence if he talked to her about it?

  • @bruinsbabe33, I'm sorry your Christmas with the in laws was a shit show. I hope they come to terms and your SIL gets the help she needs.
    I hope baby bruins is ok. :-)
  • Honestly, I can't speak to her about it now without me being emotionally damaging to her. My other SIL is going to talk to her this weekend. H and I aren't in a place where we can brush our feelings aside to try to get through to her and I need to respect my feelings here, as well.
    I don't blame you. Anyone who puts your child into danger does not get a pass - does not matter who that person is. That's just bs. Sorry you have to deal with that :(
  • @bruinsbabe33 - Wow. I'm so sorry. I don't blame you at all. You absolutely need to respect your feelings and maternal instincts, especially with someone who may be unhinged. MT needs Mama and Papa Bear to protect him, so you are totally justified. I hope she gets the help she clearly needs.

  • Okay....my wtf for the day...I knew something would happen.

    As I'm making the mad dash to grab the subway to get to Penn Station and get my train home, this jackass goes through, then is standing literally right in front of the turnstile - not moving and basically blocking it so other people can't go through!!!! Wtf....people have places to go - don't stand there like a dumb ass. I yelled 'move out the way dummy' as I pushed past him, and as I'm running down the stairs I hear really loud 'HEYYYYY!!!!' Then some other stuff - I wasn't really paying attention - but I turned real quick and see the same guy I pushed past had jumped over the turnstile to yell at me. Doh!
  • Please tell me we do this thread every week...my wtf for the day wasn't nearly as interesting or crazy as some of the other stuff I've seen in this city ;)
  • Bruins, Im really sorry you're dealing with that.

    And a literal WTF to the meat couch. @callitcompulsive, your thought that they read the recipe wrong reminds me of the friends episode where racheal makes the meat trifle bc she looked at the wrong second page, lol. I guess it could happen.

    My wtf is nimrod drivers. H and I went for a lunch date and shopping at an outdoor mall complex. We saw no fewer than five people run stop signs. This is a mostly pedestrian focused shopping area. Don't be an idiot driver.

    Aaaaand now I've got one.

    My dad texting me to ask if my sister is working on a sibling for my niece...apparently because my stepmom thinks she "looks" something in a Facebook pic (looks like what, I have no idea, I didn't get any clarification).

    Thanks for that Dad. That's what my Friday night needed.
