your "WTF?!" moment of the day!!!

SENROCK

we all have a point in our day where it doesnt MAKE it OR ruin it. There IS that time in a day where somn happens either random or totally stoopid and it forces you to get the puzzled look and just say "WHAT THE F***?!" so lets hear it!

Today mine was seeing a pretty maculine guy driving a SMALL FORD with PLENTY of room to back out of his parking space. I was a distance away in a BIG CHEVY TRUCK and easily maneuvered my way thru. HIM? He was doing the austin powers ten point turn!!! IN A BIG SPACE!!!! he couldnt even back up STRAIT!!! he was all big and muscular and couldnt even drive! i looked at him and thought WHAT THE F***?!!!! :eek:

my dad's still in the nursing home, Sen
and I went up there b/c they called me that he tried to answer the phone and fell out of bed :eek:
Thankfully he is ok

so then I'm trying to ascertain what is the discharge plan, cause he's just like laying there, IMO so that they can snatch his $

and the problem is that he can't go to the bathroom himself and
I was nicely asking his nurse about did he have a urology consult

and this chick (and she was the one in charge) was all like "well he saw the urologist but he (my dad) says he's not ready for foley (cathether)"

AND THEY JUST LISTENED TO HIM, they didn't try to encourage him to consider it, b/c that possibly means he could GO HOME. :eek:
I got a supervisor up there so fast it was beyond comprehension,

and, then, wait for it
my dad was mad at ME and said I was crazy and started yelling at me.
He believes the social worker there over me
(and I'm also a social worker btw)
and thinks he can go to another nursing home closer to where he lives
when I've spoken to the admissions director who won't take him b/c he doesn't have the insurance coverage for it

so not only did I have the what the.... look on my face,
I was like beyond that.
like so beyond.

Aaah, thank you for allowing me to vent. Much better.

THINK POSITIVE-things will get better!

Sorry to hear that Allie. I hope he gets better...I know what it's like. My grandmother is in an 'assisted living' home and it has been tough. Bad meals, bad service - dont get old :(

I work a retail job on the weekends in Edmonton. I'm at work this afternoon and this guy comes in with a PJ hoodie on. I said, "You're a Pearl Jam fan! Me too! Actually, i'm going to DC and NYC to see them." He said, "Really? I'm going to NYC and Hartford."

I'm pretty sure we both gave each other a WTF look because it's not often that you randomly meet another crazed fan.

It was a wtf moment but it made my insides smile too

Oooh, here's another...one from tonight.

I was making shortbread cookies with chocolate in the centre. I was pushing the chocolate kisses in the cookie and i couldn't figure out why it wasn't melting into the cookie like it's supposed to.

...turns out, i hadn't actually baked them. The oven wasn't even on while they were in there. The cookie wasn't warm so the chocolate wouldn't melt! :rolleyes:

WTF? I felt like a moron.

ok...i don't know if this will translate in it's "wtf" amazingness on here, but i will try.

at work we are doing a promotion of sorts...we have a series of stickers created by various artists that we're handing out for free, with a coupon to get a discount on our website. anywho...some of them are pretty clever and random - "vote" in van halen-style logo, "voters do it in the booth", "pro-voice", etc.

one of my cashiers was ringing up a girl, around 16-17, who was asking about the stickers. he explained it all, that they were free, and that the best one of all was the one that said "every time you don't vote, a kitten dies" (it has a sweet pic of a cute little kitten too). she looks at him, dead serious, and says "that really happens". to which he and i both responded with a very serious "yes...yes kittens do die." WTF??!!! how stupid can a person be?? then she goes on to say how she doesn't understand what cats and voting have to do with one another.

i banned her forever from my store...for being an idiot! okay, maybe not...but i wish i could have. after she left the store...and we made sure she was very much gone...we both looked at each other and cracked up laughing! it made my night
