School pick up twat

[Revoltingrhyme]

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?

Not been at the school pick up for many years as my kids are adults now but why the fuck has it become some sort of competitive fashion parade? Bit like everything else I suppose; all has to be instagram-ready. No one can be themselves anymore. Sad really

Perfectly acceptable for dog walking 👍

When the DC were at elementary school all the women had a full face of make-up, five dollar Walmart sweaters which looked like they cost 100 dollars when they wore them and made me look 102 when I did, Buckle jeans, sandals, and 'I'd like to speak to the manager' haircuts hairsprayed into place so that they would provide protection in a tornado.

Sounds very matronly and prim.

I've never heard of a poon hound before, this has made me laugh and I will be searching for the earliest opportunity to use it.

What about wearing to the shops though? 😬 I wore it very much for the warmth.

School runs are a distant memory for me but had I needed to do school runs over the winter, I can imagine I might have worn it. All that standing around waiting for your kids to come out. I’m sure PPs are right that some people wear them because they think it affords them some sort of status but I also reckon some of those parents were just trying to keep warm!

I'm confused how the queueing works. Do they literally call one child at a time?

Or maybe I'm paranoid cos I'm THAT MOM who cuts to the front of the morning queue but frankly I have a double buggy and I block the pavement and I cut round to get to a space large for the buggy and a trip hazard kid on oxygen.

But then the kids just all go in as and when, there's always a crowd of kids waiting to be told to go so no one is marking who's first.

The queue is very obvious at our school. You literally stand in a line to get let in - so don’t worry, you’d know if you were pushing in!

I don’t even see what anyone wears at ours.
All The cars barely stop as the kids make a jump for it.
Clearly I’m not missing out on much, dress etiquette sounds really stressy

You say that. I'm always there in old jeans, whatever top was handy that morning and with my hair flung into in an unflattering mum bun. That's the case for probably 95% of the mums on our school run. We're there to get our kids and go home, maybe have a quick catch up with a pal and that's it 😄

We live in a tiny village that only has a school, a church, and a village hall. No shops.

So the school is backed onto a massive field that also contains the play area. You can see it from the school, so she waits in the field and waves to her dd to come to out.

She has to stand far away though cos a lot of mums bring their dogs.

Crikey, at our pick ups everyone just wears Jean's tshirts and trainers

Dry robes don't seem to feature on our school run despite being right beside the sea. Those you see around in the dreaded Dry Robe seem 50+. Maybe theyre not cool with 30 and 40 year olds anymore?

I'm in a very MC area and it's pretty much all jeans or sweaty bettys on the school run. Most people look knackered!

That guy sounds like a twat OP, I'd try to trip him up as a previous poster suggested 😂

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 😂

I’m starting school runs in September, sounds exciting! Where can I get a Dry Robe to fit a horse?

I was just thinking that it had to be Liverpool!

Now that would be a sight!!

Wow, there are no glam parents at are school. Everyone looks like they fell out of bed.

Of topic but.... I didn't like them. But I went to the beach on a sort of coldish day and the water was freezing and we were in and out if it and it was soooo cold. And then I buried someone's dry robe and I swear it is the warmest thing ever under those circumstances. So for water based activities in the UK it makes perfect sense. Not so much the school run though.

I've got the equestrian version of a dry robe, because I am often out in all weathers with the horses and yes- I will wear it on the school run during winter (because its deliciously warm) and when its lashing it down because its brilliantly waterproof. It is totally unflattering- but it cost an arm and a leg and I am going to wear it as often as is humanly possible.

On topic he does indeed sound like a twat.

That's exactly what I thought.

Urgh, what a slimeball. There was one of those at my kids' primary school - no looker, breath that could strip paint, but tried it on with all the mums, including me. His wife (who was really nice and didn't deserve to be married to him) kicked him out and ended up having to get a restraining order as he showed his true colours then by stalking her.

The woman that really annoyed me at pickup was the hideous Weeble whose revolting little Tory-in-the-making spoilt brat knocked my kids' front teeth out at Cubs with a cricket bat. It was an accident, fine, but did the vile woman once approach me and apologise or ask how my son was, let alone offer to pay for dental treatment? No, she studiously avoided my eye in the playground for the next three years until my son went to secondary school, and would wobble off if she saw me coming. I heard through the grapevine that, according to her, my son 'learned a valuable lesson' although I am unclear what it was, other than some idiots shouldn't be allowed near sporting equipment and others shouldn't be allowed to breed. And she was a sanctimonious right wing church-going type. Urgh. As ugly on the inside as on the outside.

The Yummy Mummies, posing and pouting in their lycra and airpods (which are already jammed in ears and blasting out music ready for their show run post-dropoff jog), paying no attention to the kids who are excitedly chattering to them about their day ahead. No, their impending show run jog is FAR more important, if only they didn't have to drop their offspring off first, how inconvenient.
