in Chit-Chat
To go along with the "year in retrospect" thread...

I thought it would be amusing to talk about those moments in the year that stand out in your mind as the most random.

For me, my parked car spontaneously combusted on the 4th of July. And no... it was completely unrelated to fireworks.

What happened to you this years that made you say "WTF?"

    Seriously damaged my trap muscle in my shoulder taking a tire off a car back in March. I'm STILL having trouble, even after PT.

    Nothing close to what's listed here but my brand new less than a year old CR-V flooded in August in a freak rainstorm- seriously they said a storm like this hits every 100 years-ish...

    Then after coming back from a trip to Texas in November I discovered that my Accord I got to replace the CR-V had a dead battery after sitting in the airport garage for 5 days...no lights left on or anything just bought a suicidal car I guess...

    **edited to state that both cars were paid for with down payments made with leftovers from the previous car being totaled ...Im not rolling in new Hondas over here...

    My team lead replaced me with two inexperienced newbs. One watches DVD's and takes meeting minutes. The other just reformats the documents that I've made for the last two years into the new and improved document templates (copying and pasting). Neither are technical or understand the subject matter.

    My cat decided it was too late for me to be reading in bed, so she walked over my head and turned off my bedside lamp with her paw then went and lay down to sleep. That was definitely a wtf moment.

    My husband spent most of January and February in the hospital. So the portion of our tax refund that would have went to bills and saving for my furlough ended up spent in gas and hospital cafeteria food. Our finances still haven't caught up completely. :ohwell:

    edit: This might be more of an FML than a WTF, but wtf-ever. :tongue:

    About the time I hit the "I lost 50 lbs!" mark, I developed gall bladder problems (required surgery) and plantar fasciitis - which still messes with my cardio. I thought getting healthy was .. ya know... gonna make me more healthy! :)

    I woke up one morning with a CONFIRMED raisin in my nose and I had not had raisins for days leading up to the incident.

    Doctors appointment, full checkup for good measure you know.

    She
    Recommends I make a cardiologist appoinment right away(for a heart murmer I had no idea I had) , also a mammogram and ultrasound. THEN tells me I seem sad and prescribes prozac.

    A lot of crappy WTF moments this year, but that was by far the biggest.

    I saw a Storm Trooper buying coke and muesli bars at the grocery store.

    Turns out it was a guy walking across the country for charity. But at the time he was just shopping like it was nothing.

    My house burned down in Jan. other than being a huge mess - it ended up being a great thing. All new stuff, kitchen of my dream, the kids got all new toys and clothes. We really needed a fresh start

    Diagnosed with thyroid cancer 2 weeks after we moved back into our home in June. Just had radiation treatment last week and am in isolation in my new big comfy bed.

    Here's to 2013 being much less dramatic. Lol

    Best guess is my foot got caught up and I rolled? Doctor said he'd seen it once before in 1976 *LOL* And this was on Saturday :)

    My in-laws telling me in front of the ENTIRE family at Thanksgiving that the reason they were getting another dog was because my husband and I hadn't "given them any grand-babies yet."

    And the best part is they have other children, but I guess we're the set that's suppose to supply the babies.

    Wtf.

    I've had many, but the most recent is my bf going nuts on me telling me I don't respect him and walking out the door...

    I'm still trying to figure out WTF his problem is? :/

    On my way to see a friend one night recently, I hit a deer. Then, on the way back from her house I was pulled over and given a ticket for no seatbelt. Two weeks later, I backed into someone driving through the parking lot. :laugh:

    I went for a walk with my dog one night and came across something reallyyy weird. My pup starting pulling to the side of the road so I knew she saw something there. I looked up and saw what I thought was a teenager crouched down behind their mailbox. I knew that they had a few kids so I thought that 'he' was hiding from his sibling and was going to jump out anytime soon, so I ignored it. Then I heard him 'grunt' and saw no other kids around and was then concerned that this person would jump out at ME. I turned on my flashlight, pointed it towards him and it was a WOMAN on her hands and knees, digging at the ground, grass flying up in the air and then she started barking! I said outloud.. "OK!!" and kept walking, she yells out at me, I'm just looking for my bone! I told my husband about it and he thought I was nuts so I made him go by the house again the next day and sure enough, there was a hole in the ground. LOL Apparently she's nuts or was on something. Creepy!! The evil side of me wants to toss a few bones in their yard. :)

    Too many things. This year has been one big depressing disaster.

    - My father attempted suicide. He was working a job that was very physically demanding and supporting my older sister, her boyfriend and their two kids. Neither my sister or her boyfriend has ever held a job, owned a car or lifted a finger to help him. My dad felt powerless to support everyone, so he got really drunk and drove to a friend's house with the intentions of hanging himself in his front yard.

    - My husband, my brother and I lived together in a 1 bedroom apartment. We forced my dad to move in while we kicked my sister's family out and refurbished the house.

    - I gave up everything to help support my dad. My job, my education, my LIFE. He was very stubborn and ungrateful at first. After we all moved into the newly finished house, he calmed down considerably.

    - My sister is so full of WTF moments I could cry. What happened in the end was se moved to New York, both her and her boyfriend have jobs, they have a car and they're living in a loaned house. I guess that's just bizarre to me because she's never had initiative before. She's actually grateful we did this to them.

    - Getting funding for school has been impossible. Apparently, you have to HAVE CREDIT to ESTABLISH credit. We paid out of pocket for this semester coming up and it has been a draining experience.

    I'm ready for a new year.
