Nope

[Deleted User] · September 2015

I am 39 days out from my wedding. While we're very ahead of things, this is the time it gets busy- making all of those detail decisions and finally having final meetings w/ vendors because they didn't need to see you 2-6 months ago, as they had other weddings they were working on.

I come in today and learn that my employer wants me to go to Marion, OH for 3 weeks. Um, no. A few days each week, okay- maybe I can make that work. But not for 3 straight weeks.

Especially since, according to my bank account, I had a fabulous shopping trip in Valencia Spain this weekend. (Stupid fraud rings....)

What are you "noping" lately?

I am noping the cafeteria lady today.

Me: "Just so you know, y'all have some expired milk in the fridge over there."

Cashier: "I know. (laughs) have you ever seen that Seinfeld about the expiration date on milk? I mean, is it really expired? who knows?"

Me: "...............um, so yea, there's expired milk in the fridge. So should I be telling someone else?"

No tolerance for that today. Nope.

I did that at Stop & Shop last week with expired lettuce - and the produce manager just looked at me like I had 6 heads. Um....listeria anyone???

Today, I am noping my FI. I asked him to call the car rental company we are using on the honeymoon to verify our reservation and he acted like I was asking him to tear down the Great Wall of China and rebuild it.

I'm like, on a scale of 1 to planning an entire wedding, how many things have I asked you to do? That's right. 1.

Nope nope nope nopey nope nope!! Can't today. Bye Felicia.

I'm 'noping' my half assed pre wedding 'diet' today. (And by diet I mean eat regular food and try not to consume an entire bag of chips in one sitting)

it's 0 degrees here today. And the rain is looking like its ominously on the verge of being snow. And I am totally unimpressed. So I am drinking my venti peppermint mocha and I am not feeling guilty about it.

WinstonsGirl · September 2015

I go back to work tomorrow. Really want to be a SAHW right now.

Last week FI was telling a friend that the wedding was stressing him out. His tasks for the wedding were: 1) pick out the music (which I ended up helping him with 2) Buy his and his BM's outfits (which I ended up going with him to do) 3) Buy the liquor/beer. Needless to say I gave him some shit about it.

My other nope recently was to FI's family. His dad is turning 60 this weekend and they decided about a month ago to throw him a surprise party, which is in WY about a 7 hour drive from our house. Our wedding is next weekend (the 12th). FI's mom (who isn't even married to his dad but is apparently helping to plan the party) called and said "We really want you and Julie to come". I was like WTF are these people asking me to go on a long weekend trip the week before the wedding?? Thankfully I could just say no, and had the backup excuse that my mom is flying in on Sunday. FI is going though, which is fine so I don't have to listen to him talk about how he's stressed LOL

LOL!!! That is so funny!! There is not a snowball's chance in hell that I'd be going on a long weekend trip the week before the wedding. Mine is the weekend after yours, so I am right there with you. Who seriously has time for that???

And my FI also told me today that the wedding was stressing him out. I looked at him and point blank said "Why? I have done the entire thing!"

NowIamMrsKlein · September 2015

Oh I also 'noped' my FI today! haha. That sentence sounds really funny.

He's on an out of town trip for work. I drove him to the airport on Sunday morning and he was supposed to be home at supper time yesterday. It got extended and then delayed and blah blah blah and now he's set to return at 11pm tonight. He doesn't have a vehicle at the airport because I dropped him off. I told him that I sure as hell hoped his first officer could drive him home because I sure as hell wasn't driving to the airport at 11pm on a worknight.

We leave for our wedding on saturday (Wedding is the 12th, we took the week off before as the wedding is a province over and a bunch of out of town relatives are coming in a few days early so its a good opportunity for last minute running around and visiting). Last night I was so worn out from trying to get our house into vacation mode since we are going to be gone for 3 weeks, that I finally was like. Nope. FI can do this all on Friday while I am at work. And opened a bottle of wine and watched Friends on Netflix instead of doing anything productive.

Heh FI is gone this week for work too. I've been sooo unproductive all week. I figure, I have this long weekend coming up, plus next week will just be nuts, I'm going to just relax and have some quiet days before the crazy starts in. I have been making myself do at least one chore before I sit down though. Last night I dusted, night before I vacuumed our bedroom and bathroom. Rough stuff haha.

[Deleted User] · September 2015

I am also "noping" a co-worker. He's the only guy in our department and his office manners are practically non-existent.

I was having a private conversation with my direct report and he just came up to her cube and stood there. That's his M.O.- stand there until the people stop talking and/or acknowledge him.

So, w/o warning I just started talking, mid-sentence, about my recent pap smear and breast exam. Sadly, he didn't get it.

fyrchk · September 2015

I am nope-ing a co-worker today. He has asked me the same question multiple times over the past couple of weeks. Today, I looked at him and said, "You've asked me this before. I am not your mother. If you can't remember, take notes." Then turned back around to my desk. He's currently just sitting at his desk staring into space.

I just NOPE’d Avis car rental, HARD.

"To Whom It May Concern,

We were told to contact this address regarding an Avis car rental at Avis, X St., New York, NY. We have had service problems with this site but this week's took the cake. We had a reservation (in my husband's name, cc'd). Confirmation # X, RA#: X. We rent a car from here EVERY week. I personally prefer Hertz but the bottom line is that between the two of us, we spend tens of thousands of dollars on car rentals every year for work and personal use.

Right now, X St. seems to be under construction. It was actually closed last week when my husband went to return the car and the staff instructed him to DRIVE THE WRONG WAY DOWN A ONE-WAY STREET to return it. They clearly did not have a contingency plan in place to deal with the street closure so clients could return vehicles. We actually let that slide.

Monday, Aug. 31st, when we went to pick up the rental referenced above, Xrd Street was closed again. The Avis, somehow was open. The staff stood around dumbfounded, unable to figure out how to honor the reservation since we could not drive the car out of the closed street. Why wasn't this addressed properly by this local branch? They actually turned him away and sent him to another Avis on XX St., where the staff was quite rude and questioned the reservation. I am shocked that the X St. Avis staff didn't have enough sense to SEND FOR a car. The fact that the road closure has been in effect for over a week and that site is accepting reservations that they can't honor is unacceptable. When faced with an apparently impossible situation Monday night, they chose to inconvenience the customer rather than the company by sending us to another site at 10:30pm instead of having a car delivered from another branch. Again, unacceptable.

Please let us know how you plan to address this. We have to rent from there every week and this absolutely CANNOT happen again. We do not have the time nor the patience to deal with this again and that site is most convenient for the weekly trip we need to take.

Thank you and we look forward to hearing from you.

Regards,

Mr. & Mrs. OneFoot

I noped an idea my mother had and called to ask me about. She thought it would be a cute and fun idea for her to order shirts that have mine and FI's name and wedding date on them in pretty sparkly writing for her, my FMIL, and my bridal party to wear. While it's a super nice gesture of my mom to want to do something like that, I quickly nixed the idea. I've never been a fan of giving out clothing to people with our names and wedding date on them. I've gotten so many t-shirts, tank tops, and hats with the couples' names on them--why would I wear them after the Bachelorette party?? They go right in the trash!

She then suggested matchbooks that have our names on them and say 'A Perfect Match.' That I can do.

kimmiinthemitten · September 2015

So much to nope!

1. Like @winstonsgirl FI went back to work today and that just makes me sad. He drives me nuts by the end of summer, but we go from him being home 24/7 straight into a coaching season where we works 10 hours a day M-F plus meets on Saturdays.

2. Sprint for never changing my billing address and mailing everything to my best friends house (since March 2014 no matter how many times I call)

3. And finally, my boss. One of my largest accounts was bought out by another company and he assigned that account to his Golden Boy sales rep. Today, he asks me what's going on with it, and how they intend to move forward with their purchasing blah blah blah. I looked at him nonchalantly and said "I don't know have you asked [Golden Boy]?"

ericasm0703 · September 2015

I'm currently in the emergency room dealing with a work related accident. The doctor told me that I have a fractured shin and I have to use crutches. Nope, not conducive to my lifestyle, won't use them at all. Besides the fact that I'm entirely too stubborn, I can't (won't) use them for simple reason that FI and I live in an apartment, we're on opposite shifts for the most part and we have an 11 week old yorkie-poo. There's no way crutches are gonna work, not in this lifetime. They also told me that I can't go to work at all for at least 4 weeks. Nope, I love my job too much; I'll be there after my 72 hours off and I'll sit and do admin work for 24 hours straight before I flat out not go. The nurse literally just came in and said because I can't get FI to come get me that I have to stay overnight. WTF? No. FI is on his way into work and it's his last night of field training with his new department; I'm not gonna make him come get me for nothing. Nope. Nope. Nope!!!

lnixon8 · September 2015

Noping dinner. It's not even 9 am here and I've already texted H about ordering pizza.

thefanciestbeckler · September 2015

Today I am noping work coffee. It is literally the worst. And I am so tired. I rolled out of bed 10 minutes before I had to leave for work and had no time to make my own, so now I'm stuck with it.

MissKittyDanger · September 2015

I'm noping groceries tonight.

Really need to do them, but really don't want to. Have asked H to see the list if we need anything and hasn't, so if he goes "oh we should get this" NOPE!

Also noping the fact I need to vacuum my place. I am pushing that baby to tomorrow!

luckya23 · September 2015

I really want to NOPE driving into Jersey City today, but I can't get out of it again. SIGH.

DH is supposed to come with me so we can go to Ikea, but he was up all night and is now sleeping.

novella1186 · September 2015

Last night we went over to the new house to try and get some painting done. I went into the master bathroom to check out these built-in shelves to see if they need to be sanded before we can paint them (of course they do. Everything in the stupid house needs more work than we thought.) and what do I see stuck way in the back corner of the shelf? A pad. An opened pad. Not used, but it was so dusty and nasty that it grossed me out.

Me: "AH! NOOOOOO!"

H comes strolling into the bathroom. "What?"

Me: "There's a fucking pad stuck to the back wall of the shelf!"

H: "What pad?"

Me: "Like, a period pad!"

H: "NOPE!" and runs away. I started laughing and immediately thought of this thread.

ShesSoCold · September 2015

I could go on for days but I am nopeing my job. I'm the garbage disposal of the office and at this point, it's my fault. They've been fucking me over so bad for so long that they're used to it and I bitch, they tell me they'll see what they can do, nothing happens and I bend over again. I'm using the long weekend to get my resume presentable and looking for a new job.

thisismynickname2 · September 2015

I'm noping our marathon training. It's humid and in the 90s all week, the sun is setting earlier so now there're gnats out while we run. I got a big ole gnat to the eye yesterday and think I swallowed one the day before. NOPE.

We got those for our sparkler sendoff! I love cheesy things like that... I'm easily amused

I noped my fiance last night. I was making dinner while trying to get ready for an audition that night and clean up a bit since my parents are coming into town today and will be staying with us. He keeps coming to me with my stuff and saying do you want to keep this? Where should I put this? Then gets mad when I tell him I don't know right now I'm doing 3 other things. He's like I'm trying to help you with your stuff I don't know why you're all upset about it. I mean I think he was initially coming from a nice place of trying to help but asking me what to do was really not helping me. I finally told him to just do his stuff and that it'd be quicker for me to clean up my stuff after my audition...

CharmedPam · September 2015

I'm noping my friend.

last year we went to a hockey game with our fiances, in which she paid said amount. We agreed to go again this year, with the same amount in mind.

I told her yesterday what it was with all the fee's and suddenly it's to expensive for her. She says it's $15 dollars more than what she wants to spend. Said she didn't remember paying that much last year. I kept our emails from last year. She did pay it. If she wants to sit up in crappy seats to save $35, then she can. But I'm noping the fact that we have to sit with her in nose bleed. FI and I will be sitting in good seats with our other friends (there's a possible 4 couples involved this time, which isn't fair to them)

$15?! I mean, I get and respect that people have budgets but 15 dollars is SO SMALL - especially when talking about tickets. Your location is Chicagoland - if you're talking about a Hawks game that's less than 1.5 beers.

CharmedPam · September 2015

You can't even park for $15! LOL

sparklepants41 · September 2015

H & I decided today that we are saying a big fat hairy NOPE to my cousin's wedding. First and foremost, when we received the invite and went to their wedding website, we discovered they had a Honeyfund. We side-eyed the shit out of that and decided we would just write them a check.

Cut to this morning when I find out that it's an outdoor reception on the beach (in October), with not much of a contingency plan in case of inclement weather AND there is not seating available for everyone at the reception. Oh, and it's a 7-hour train plus 2-hour drive away from us.

Nope. Not worth it.

cj3561 · September 2015

Jumping on the train of noping one of my employees. We work in a dental office so we use the word "aesthetic" quite a bit when charting notes for patient cases, putting together consent forms etc.

She has asked me probably 30 times in the last few weeks how to spell "aesthetic".

Today I turned to her, looked her dead in the face and hissed "G-O-O-G-L-E".

I think she got the hint.

CharmedPam · September 2015

ha! Sometimes i don't use google to find things out. Sometimes it IS better than spellcheck.

"did you mean....." YES! Yes, google, how did you figure it out?

cj3561 · September 2015

Spellcheck is unfortunately not included in our somewhat ancient management software I have been begging my boss to upgrade, so that's been fun. I guess with all the codes and abbreviations used in healthcare, spellcheck would be a nightmare.

It just bothers me because she will not only ask me things like that, but also she will ask "what's the number to so-and-sos office?" or something along those lines. Freakin google it! All comes down to computer illiterate people. Hateeeeee it.

Nope
