School pick up twat

343 replies

Revoltingrhyme · 25/05/2023 22:11

We’re all anonymous here so we can secretly rage at the one person who drives us insane at school pick up.

Now I’ll start by saying this isn’t an attack on the women, I am a young, high maintenance woman myself- platinum hair, false tan etc but there’s a few groups of similar mums at the school pick up who come in gym sets, hair all done, lovely done filler. Very glam.

But it’s this one dad who sets my teeth on edge. He will cut the queue every day and walk up the path past everyone until he finds one of these mums and tries to flirt with them very blatantly. It’s the strut he does, the specific type of woman he looks for. He’s not even cutting right up to the front, just until he sees one of these mums who are simply trying to pick up their kids. Argh he makes my skin crawl and it never fails to irritate me every day 😂

Anyone else have that one twat at pick up who annoys you?

@Hopelesscynic
The only grim thing is your snotty comments about other women, who decided the way you look is the best or right way.

My issue was that he cuts up the bloody queue 😂

This thread! It's nuts.

Bet you didn't think you were going to be accused of being " insanely jealous " over some creepy dad when your thread is about him being a twat and queue barging?

Or that this would be all about Dry Robes?

😂

It's crazy isn't it. 😂 I can't believe all the accusations of jealousy...🤷🏾‍♀️

At least I know what a Dry Robe is now.

Most people are actually just showing their internalised misogyny by not being able to grasp that a woman can find a man annoying without it being because she isn’t getting attention from him.

Why would I, a 26 year old woman with a partner want attention from a Mid 30s man who is arrogant enough to jump the queue every day to harass women just trying to pick up their children?

@mumof4andlovinglife How old are you to actually think there are “in crowds”? I really don’t think it matters but although I say I am high maintenance in the sense I wear false tan and have platinum hair, I actually dress very alternative and gothy, listen to metal music etc. I can absolutely assure you that the man with turkey teeth and wears Hugo boss is most definitely not the crowd I want to be “in” with.

Missed it. Curses.

I know. Given there’s some spite on this thread I wish I’d seen this, out of pure nosiness…

AngryBirdsNoMore · 27/05/2023 14:11

@Revoltingrhyme you don’t sound remotely jealous or insecure, ignore some of the odd personal attacks.

itdoesnt · 27/05/2023 14:23

God this thread got weirder and weirder. I'm glad I got to read the zinger up thread though.

Op just ignore the women obsessed with calling you jealous. It's so odd.

Most amusing shit I've read in a while. Sometimes I think MN is getting boring and then I read this stuff and I realise other people have such weird stuff going on in their heads.

The constant badgering user has now been banned according to the response to the report I made…

Much appreciated.

I think their going on about “in crowds” clearly shows they are projecting that about themselves or think they are part of an “in crowd” and us peasants would be lucky to be like them 😂

A few of the mums round my way love to wear those gym leggings that go right up your bum crack like a thong. I think I actually blushed when I found myself walking behind one for the first time, it was borderline obscene.

There’s something baboon like about them!

SaysRelaaxxx · 27/05/2023 17:51

“We’re all in Boden” is even more annoying than the pick up twat

I'm Merseyside too, we have the school dad twat who slides into all our DMs.
He's referred to as, "that creepy cunt" in the WhatsApp group.

Brutal but very apt 😂

You should start a betting pool, or at least pretend to. The next time he sidles up to one of the mums, you should all start saying “who is it? Oh Janice? Today it’s Janice. Who had Janice? Susan had Janice for today! She’s the winner!” and make it obvious you’re laughing at his ridiculous behavior.

Mumof32017 · 27/05/2023 18:13

The mums at my kids school are a bit mixed. There’s the country bumpkin types, the chavs, the career women and then like me, the regulars 😂😂

Standard garb around here in a certain type of schoolyard and yes, they will have been for a sea swim before school. They will also make sure you know about it.

Blimey. I'd be tempted to turn up in a wetsuit. With a snorkel.

GrinAndVomit · 27/05/2023 18:21

Lecherous men are disgusting. Lecherous men at the school gates are even worse!

GrinAndVomit · 27/05/2023 18:23

Ah man! It looks like I’ve missed all the fun!

Tigofigo · 27/05/2023 18:26

I wear my (not actually a dryrobe brand) dryrobe on the school run when it's cold and fuck anyone who has a problem with it. It's like wearing a duvet and I have no other long warm coat. Why wouldn't you? (Yes I also go cold water swimming on occasion which is why I got it in the first place)

SlippySarah · 27/05/2023 18:28

Dry Robe crew here as well. Also v horsey gear.

ThatOneBoop · 27/05/2023 18:28

dudes just trying to shoot his shot, give him a break xD
