taking a cue from other boards... post your WTF moments here.
WTF people... If you call me and I'm not able to answer the phone, leave a message. Obviously I wasn't able to get to your call for a reason. If you keep taking your chances of calling and not leaving a message, you may end up missing me and we won't be able to talk. Though I can look on my phone and see what numbers are my missed calls, and I am starting to know your phone number by memory, I'm not going to call you back. Leave a flucking message.
No kidding, I was away from my desk for a half an hour the other day. The same person (I know their #) called me at times spaced out in the following way:
2:31:15, 2:31:56, 2:32:10, 2:32:45, 2:32:55
ugh.
Re: WTF Wednesday
W(hy)TF(udge) am I so worked up about car shopping? My brain is just OBSESSED with cars this week. Ugh. I hate it. I want to just buy something and be done with it. I REALLY hope the one we're seeing tonight is IT.
W(hy)TF(udge) did I wear this color eyeshadow today? I didn't realize how glittery it looks and the glitter part won't rub off. Oops. Rainbow Bright, party of one!
W(hy)TF(udge) is my chin breaking out all of a sudden after doing SO WELL for so long!? UGH.
W(hen)TF(udge) are we going to meet my sister's boyfriend?? I'm dying to meet him!
W(hy)TF(udge) am I bother that my younger sister has a brand new fancy shmancy car and I don't? She leased a 2011 Rogue yesterday. We are more buying-used people but still, ugh, I want a bluetooth phone in my car! *stomps foot like a whiny brat*
W(hat)TF(udge) are most Minnesota drivers thinking when they try to merge????????
Wow I had a lot!
Sounds like one of my clients. When he finally does leave a message, he marks it as urgent even though it's totally not. Usually he wants to let me know he put my payment in the mail or got a letter I sent him.

I agree with the merging, Kiz! No one seems to know how to merge on Highway 100. At all. There's a gas pedal, use it. Oh, yeah, and there's yield signs people, learn how to use those too!
This happened yesterday so I'm still posting it for WTF Wednesday. We're having our siding replaced due to hail damage last fall. The siding is 95% done, we're just waiting on some backordered shakes for our dormer above the door so the siding is done to that point and then it is just housewrapped above that. Last night, some kid rings the bell trying to sell us new siding. I gave him a funny look and asked him if he perhaps noticed that we're in the middle of our re-siding project and don't need his services? He completely ignored my question and asked if he could send one of his estimators out to talk about "textures and siding options" that they offer. I told him to go away.
Must. Get. "No solicitors". Sign. For. Door.
I got a call today from Abbott asking for money for the new "mom & baby" wing. Ummm....no thanks. At first she wanted $100. Then she wanted "only" $75. Those people are persisteeeeeeent! I finally had to be kind of rude to her to get her to shut up. Blah. I only answered because I thought it might be my doctor's office telling me I could get an appointment sooner! Serves me right... :-)
I have something from today but it would have made me say WTF yesterday so maybe it can count.
We're going to the IL's for father's day. I'm vegetarian. I got an email today saying they're providing the burgers, brats, buns and chips. If I want a veggie burger or something else, I can bring it for them to grill. WTF invites people over and doesn't at least attempt to make something that everyone can eat? Or maybe I should consider myself lucky that they'll grill it for me and I don't have to eat it raw. I can't wait for them to come to our house for dinner next time. Vegan meal with lots of veggies they hate, here we come!
