To think this dad at school is a twat?

[verytellytubby]

I washed and sorted out my children's school uniform yesterday. I noticed that one school jumper wasn't ours and belonged to a boy in DS's class.

I took it in this morning and gave it to the boy's dad. I apologised and said my DS must have bought it home by accident (stating the bleeding obvious ). His reponse was 'it's been missing since Friday, why didn't you bring it in sooner?'

I was a bit shocked and said I only spotted it on Monday night when I was ironing.

I then made a joke saying 'oh well it's been washed and ironed'. He then said 'Well it's not good enough it should have come back on Monday'.

Twat. He's lucky to get it back. I haven't had one lost jumper back from Lost Property in the 5 years my dc have been at the school!

ps. My DS is 5 so it's an easy mistake to make.

YANBU

He is a twat.

YANBU. He is a twat.

nope, yanbu.

the guy sounds like a prize twat imo!

what charm school did he go to?!!

He really is a twat. 'Not good enough'? I would have been seriously pissed off had another parent spoken to me like that.

he's a twat

He's a twat, and rude, too.

Yup, TwaT.

But are they in reception? If so, he was maybe unaware of the rarity of the return of lost clothes ...let alone getting them back washed and ironed!

yanbu, he's bloody rude.

How bloody rude, any nice normal person would have said "thanks so much for bringing it back, and lovely and clean too!"

Arse.

Twat indeed. My ds lost 3 things on Friday and I got them back today and was over the moon that the other mum had washed and ironed them!

Can i just say he is a twat of the highest order.

...I mean unaware that he should be bloody grateful . No excuse for his rudeness though.

Maybe he bought a new one over the weekend and that was why he was being a tosser

did you respond? I would have

Obviously it's too late now but you could have claimed that your DS only brought it home on Monday.... I have no personal problem with small lies like that!

WTF?! YANBU does he think you are his secretary or something? I'd have told him where to stuff the bloody thing.

Anyone who uses the phrase "not good enough", especially to reprimand a fellow adult, is a twat.

He was a twat but, to be even handed, didn't you notice that you had a spare jumper? DD doesn't wear a uniform now but when she did, I would have noticed if she came home with an extra cardigan.

You see, for these occasions, you need my best friend in tow. Unlike you, me and 99% of the rest of the population who just stand there looking like surprised goldfish in this situation, she always has a pithy bon mot that would have brought this guy to his knees, begging for forgiveness and most probably in tears. This from a few years ago

"It's always the ones with little dicks that are ungrateful bastards"....

He is a prize knob

This is why we need a TWAT emoticon.

MNHQ? Are you listening? I have been asking for a twat emoticon for months. It is NEEDED!

Yes, he's a twat.

What did you say to him after he said "It should have come back on Monday" for the second time?
