WTF Wednesday

Something I saw on another forum, another board and thought it might be a neat idea. Post somethign that made you go WTF?

WTF upstairs neighbor? Are you stomping around in clogs all night on a hardwood floor just because? I hear you at 5 p.m., I hear you at 10 p.m., I hear you at 2 a.m. ... do you ever sleep?

Good Morning Sylvie,

This made me laugh great topic!  Here's mine, WTF it's only Wednesday and I feel like I have worked all week.

Stephanie

Good morning!  I thought you went into labor...

WTF it is 56 degrees in my house this morning. Brrrrrr. the electric blanket is on, the warm booties on and all flannel material is out as well. Turning on the fireplace to warm up the downstairs a bit, refusing to turn on the heat just yet.

well i smashed into a high curb this morning and fractured the lower front of my car. wtf was i thinking! i feel really stupid bout it. today is not going well so far. I may need a drink soon! LOLOL.

Well, that sucks Nicole.  Did you beep your horn at the curb before it ran into you?  Lol, jk.  Actually, I almost took my dirt bath last night.  I saw my life flash before my eyes.  On my way home from work last night, I was in the back seat with two of my coworkers up front.  Out jumps this huge deer (I think it may have been on steroids, this guy was a monster) onto the bypass.  Luckily all three cars at that point showed some serious driving skills.  The guy in front of us swerved to avoid the deer, did about four 360's before hitting the center guardrail.  The guy behind us swerved to avoid ramming us and then had to swerve the other way to avoid hitting the car that just hit the rail, and the driver of the car I was riding in had to swerve to avoid hitting both of them.  This all happened in milliseconds.  Absolutely the most frightening moment of my life.

Anyway, my WTF is easy.  I'm an appliance salesman for a company that is new to the area called hhgregg.  Actually, our distribution center is in Maryland.  Anyway, a couple comes in last night and drops like $8 grand on an electrolux kitchen package.  The appliances all come with a limited manufacturers warranty that covers limited parts and labor.  What it doesn't cover is all the expensive parts that would need repaired or replaced.  So, instead of buying 5 year service plans on the entire package, which would have cost roughly $600 total and would have covered everything from head to toe, they say "nah, we never buy extended warranties, they're a waste of money".  Um, excuse me?  You do realize you just dropped EIGHT THOUSAND DOLLARS on kitchen appliances and your only current protection is one year for LIMITED parts and labor?  After that, you are strictly on God's good graces.  Oy vey.  Sorry, but if I'm dropping 8 dimes on something, I'm sure as hell gonna make sure they're guaranteed to work for more than 12 lousy months.  Okay, done ranting.

holy crap! so glad nothing bad happened. scary stuff! Yea the curb gave me the finger after i ruined my front bumper against it LOL.

WTF ! A man riding my bumper this morning. Hey speed limit was 45 and I was doing 50! What did he want me to do ?

OH Yeah! I like this thread! LOL

The people at the top of our new chain of command keep harping on us to sign up for training. They say " I want you to sign up for 3 classes each for the year". Ok, so I find a class I want...Put in for it and NO one will answer me. Im getting the run around. Its a $10k boot camp style class that we have credits for. PLENTY of credits for that were paid for a couple years ago and never used. 

 WTF??

My WTF... My husband and I own our own business, are making less money than the year before, for the third year in a row, but keep tightening our budget to keep our employees employed full-time, still pay for 100% of all their benefits and they've got EVERYTHING: health, life, death, LTD, STD....  Had our most senior employee leave early today with no advance notice, when he's just about out of his FOUR WEEKS vacation time, so he can pick up his boat because he just paid $3,600.00 to have his twin engines replaced.  Gee, I bet he's going to drive his big Dodge Ram 2500 truck to pick it up because I'm sure his Subaru Forester and his $26,000.00 Harley Davidson Touring Cycle are too small.  But wait, maybe he can use his $14,000 Kubota tractor!  I'm struggling to make ends meet and keep everyone employed and he's playing Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous!  WTF!!!

I like this topic!!
WTF happened to the electric in Windsor Mill today... I spent THREE hours at work in the dark waiting on UPS to come so I could go home... When does the lights magically come back?  Less than 10 minutes before UPS comes....

Grr!! What a wasted day!
