I like to think I'm not someone who expects the moon and stars from people just because I'm pregnant, but today I was seriously irked at work.
I was walking down the hall and two people were walking toward me. Now, this hallway is definitely wide enough to handle 3 adults taking up their allotted space. I swerve to the right side of the hall to get in my "lane" and they continue to walk right down the center. I seriously needed to move an arm to have enough space for them to pass by.
I can't get any thinner by turning to the side - in fact, I now take up MORE room that way!
I chalk this one up to a lack of common courtesy.
Anyone else ticked off by something today?

Lack of common courtesy irks me to no end! That happens all the time here. People are suuuuper rude where I live, thus me hating it here so much.
Today, I dropped off some prescriptions for my hubby and I at the pharmacy. The pharmacy tech said it would be 20 mins. I told her I would be back in an hr to pick it up since I had to run errands. I came back in an hr and a half and she said it wasnt ready yet. Her excuse? I didn't think you were really going to be back at the time you mentioned. Ugh. No words. My patience is non-existant these days.

@Goldilocks1107: GAH people can be so RUDE!
My favorite under-belly band jeans are getting a bit tight around the belly. That is really frustrating me today.

@marriedandlovingit: where do you live? You sound like I did when I lived in East Hartford, CT.

I was at the hospital yesterday doing some paperwork, and I had to stop in to see my manager while I was there, the elevator had a few people in it, not crowded by any means, and when I went to get in, not one person would shift over to give me any space, my belly was pressed up against the door, and I had to suck it in to let it close (not easy at 34 weeks pregnant). It wouldn't have killed anyone to shuffle a half step closer to the back wall so I could have a little space!

@mediagirl: Atlanta. I've never disliked a place so much. Living in San Diego spoiled me.

My pregnancy complaint of the day is that my lovely baby keeps trying to stick her foot right through my left side with all of her strength. ...and at 39 weeks she's getting really, really strong. Last night she did it so hard that it literally felt like she was tearing some of my muscle in there. I keep telling her that if she wants to stretch out like that then she's going to have to come out first! (...and preferably out of the correct hole, rather than being born by ripping a hole in my side!!)

@skibobrown: I spent all 24 hours of labor with Wagon Jr.'s foot (or feet) jammed into my ribs. It was so painful and no pain meds can take that away!

Swollen ankles just arrived tonight:-( pity party over here! It's 11.18 pm and I'm in bed with moisturised legs propped up on like 5 pillows, and I still can't see my feet past my belly;)
-
My complaint of the day is I can't seem to quit dropping things! It's so hard to bend over to pick things up these days, so I usually find myself weighing the pros and cons of whether or not its worth it to pick it up. Most of the time it stays where it landed. Unless of course it's chocolate.
-
@jennylynn: oh yeah. My office at work is a mess. I have paper on the ground I just can't get motivated to pick up yet.

Since I'm only 5.5 weeks, we haven't told anyone yet. However, my complaint of the day is about a co-worker. She made popcorn, and decided to set it down on the table in my office while talking to someone in the hallway. Made my office reek of popcorn, which then caused me to dry heave for 20 minutes in the bathroom. She just laughed and said "are you pregnant?" I said I just hate popcorn.
I now understand why some offices ban popcorn.
-
I don't have a complaint (for today!) but on your behalf...how rude!!!
-
@skibobrown: You made me laugh!
@jennylynn: Chocolate definitely takes priority when it comes to bending over.
I'm just glad I can come here to rant and people don't think I'm crazy.
