To ask you to tell me your wtf moments from this week...?

[bwentinquake]

Today a stranger walked up to me in the street, gestured to my 2yo, and said "She's Downs Syndrome, yeah?".

Dd does not have Downs Syndrome. Nor does her appearance in any way suggest she might do.

So. Weird.

Can anyone beat that?

FUUÙUUUUUUUCCCCKKĶKKK

Impatientwino! I'm gobsmacked!

mummyofmoomoos - my youngest when around 4 did that to himself with nursery scissors - he looked like Friar Tuck for a few weeks

A few weeks ago we had to go visit an elderly relative in hospital and left DS 14 at home ... we got a phone call saying a man had knocked on the door, walked straight past my son when he opened it and deposited a garlic bread in the kitchen and walked out. We rushed back and found some poor old soul, who presumably has dementia, wandering around the neighbourhood with a bin liner full of food, knocking on doors in the pouring rain to give out food to people - DH tried to ask where he lived but he wouldn't listen so I called the police who came quickly and took him home

I feel a bit sick even typing this but my WTF moment this week has to be my most WTF dream ever.

There's this really moody, overtly rude woman I work alongside (she's the IT Manager) and I dreamt last night that I copped off with her

I'm straight and even if I weren't the kind thing to say would be she's not my type.

DP took our DS to the playgroynd in our local park. DS was on the baby swing when a woman walked towards them. Her child was running towards a grass patch right next to DP that was covered in dog poop. Like extraordinarily covered iyswim.

DP warned the woman that her child was about to step into dog poop.

She then crossly said 'You shouldn't be bothering nursing mothers'

A. He and DS were the only people at the park until she arrived
B. He wasn't bothering anyone
C. She wasn't nursing any children

He just laughed and shook his head at her!

Discovering my housemates boyfriend had put on the tumble drier this morning (our flat is hotter than the sun at the moment, 28 degrees here today). Then gone back to their room (which has an air conditioner) and left my poor house bunnies to cook in the same room as the drier

A colleague refused to stay another 10 mins to sort out a potentially dangerous situation (health care related) and left me to sort out her mess as she should have picked it up earlier in the week, then refused to put herself out the following week to pick it up. I sorted things out, did an hours unpaid overtime and had to cancel people who had waited ages for an appointment to sort it out the following week.
The following week the same colleague asked if I would cover the last 30 minutes of her shift as she wanted to get away early. WTF. I don't know how I controlled myself to just saying no as politely as I could manage through gritted teeth.

All of these are hilarious.
As I work with corporate customers these moments happen every.single.day. I can't even be shocked anymore.

Conversation with a fellow mum:

Mum: DD can't use those cups, she takes the lid off and spills the water
Me: DS doesn't do that - but (laughs) it's probably not going to be long!
Mum: oh well my DD is extremely intelligent

Implying my DS isn't then!

Conversation with my 6 year old this evening about my friend who's having chemo (going to see her, so talked to her about why she doesn't have her hair now). DD was thoughtful and then told me that there were worse things than having no hair, and declared being dead would be worse. Then proceeded to ask if my friend will have lost her pubic hair too...I was slightly wtf but then realised it was a perfectly viable question and set about googling it...wtf have my Friday nights turned into; googling about the effects of chemo on pubic hair evidently

A work colleague when I gave her a taste of her own attitude - boy did she not like it

Going through passport control, assisted loading so have gone past the rather large queue, only to have a bloke join us and try to say he was with us. When we objected he started to have a go at us,telling us he was going to miss his flight because of us 😱

MrsChopper That woman doesn't sound sane enough to be looking after a child!

I've had a truly disastrous haircut that makes me look like Kim Jong Un

When I popped into mums wearing a vest top and she said, 'look at the size of your tummy, I'd know idea it was anywhere near that size'....I'm slim but have recently put on 4lbs!....wtf mum ..subtle

@FizzyCherry honestly thought you were my sister in law for a moment then as she's going through the exact same thing at work then realised that she was at work today

I got asked if my son's were twins there is a four year age gap

Don't think so, Queen, my only SiL hates me with a passion and hasn't spoken to me in months!
It's a nightmare, don't know what to do about it.

When my ex-MIL, after dropping communication with me like a hot brick since divorce proceedings, started waiving manically from a car as far as I could tell because the dcs were witnessing it. Can't think of another reason, bizarre and fake.

*waving

*maniacally

My stbexh text me to say he was thinking of me today (the anniversary of something horrible I was involved in).Thing is on the day of the actual thing he didn't give a Toss and went out with his brother rather than offer any comfort to me when I was in a real state. He has ever since maintained his behaviour that day was fine.
He has been a massive dick all
Week about other stuff as well. So his message today has weirded me out and left me wondering what he's up to. Definitely wtf?

@FizzyCherry I'll pm you my SIL's plan of action if you like?

Trying to put Braille stickers into a kitchen design - helpful DH says he'll punch out the labels ... but now I've no idea which way is up and I can't read Braille !! Told the client who thought it was rather funny !!! I can see that will get sea sick reading this plan ! Whoops !

I'd appreciate that, Queen, dreading work on Monday
