To think this dad at school is a twat?

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 Smile). 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!

What Lois said, with bells on!

Crikey ... he's in for an interesting time, isn't he?

BalloonSlayer · 21/09/2010 12:12

Twat.

Next time, put it in the Lost Property box. If you can wrap it around a pair of malodourous trainers or a minging lunchbox full of black liquid then all to the better.

nickelbabe · 21/09/2010 12:12

he is a total twat.
if i had been you, i would have told him so, but then, i don't do polite to twats.

YANBU

Sounds like a real charmer!

droves · 21/09/2010 12:13

Some blokes are just odeoius twats. Pity his wife (if she hasnt ran for the hills ) Grin

I once had a mother phone me the evening of the swimming lesson day to say quite aggressively that she thought my dd had her dd's costume. I pointed out I hadn't even opened the swimming bag yet and she said she expected it back next day washed and dry !

verytellytubby · 21/09/2010 12:14

Year 1.

I was so [shocked] I didn't really say anything. Kicking myself now.

Humourless twat!

He's a twit, a twunt and a total TWAT.

BalloonSlayer · 21/09/2010 12:16

Don't worry though OP sooner or later he will display that attitude to a member of school staff and his reputation for being a twat will be universal.

"I am afraid we only change reading books twice a week, Mr Twat"
"Well that's not good enough"

"I am sorry Mr Twat but we cannot help your son get undressed for PE"
"That's not good enough"

"We cannot authorise you to take the family on holiday for two weeks skiing and for two weeks to Barbados both in the school term."
"That's just not good enough."

He is a twat...next time you see him make sure you point and laugh.

anonymousbird · 21/09/2010 12:22

Twat of the highest order of twats.

WE WANT TWAT EMOTICON!
WE WANT TWAT EMOTICON!

etc. If we shout loud enough....

As you were

RubberDuck · 21/09/2010 12:24

Twat.

harassedinherpants · 21/09/2010 12:24

He is a twat, and bloody rude too!!

coatgate · 21/09/2010 12:24

Definititely a twat.

My DD put her blazer on yesterday, announced it had shrunk in the wash - indeed, it was very short in the sleeve and tight, so went to school in her gaberdine. Came home last night with her blazer. She had brought another child's blazer home on Friday by mistake. No name in the other blazer though so I sent it to school today with a note.

DD's swimming kit frequently stays in the bag for almost a week before it gets washed.

Yes, we are mingers Grin - but we do return stuff washed and ironed.

gtamom · 21/09/2010 12:26

Yanbu. He was rude.

QS · 21/09/2010 12:28

He is a twat.

If your son had his jumper. Who has your sons jumper? And whose jumper was his son wearing, and did THEY wash and iron the jumper for monday morning?

I would LOVE it if it turned out that his son had your sons jumper.....

catherinedenerve · 21/09/2010 12:29

Lucysmum Shock, did you laugh very much?

What a sad, sad little man, verytellytuby, but those who behave like this are IMO the ones who would "disappear" property, given the opportunity. Just think, why would they be so worked up about it otherwise?

Malificence · 21/09/2010 12:29

Complete and utter tosser.

Docbunches · 21/09/2010 12:29

I would've been tempted to call him a wanker to his face, even though I'm usually a complete wuss in those situations.

I had a stressy looking mum knock at my door once saying my DD had come home with her DD's PE shorts. When I showed this mum the shorts in question, with MY DD's name tag sewn in, the woman went off in a huff Shock.

BalloonSlayer · 21/09/2010 12:35

I found a fleece on our pegs which belonged to a girl in DS1's class. DS1's fleece was also there, he had obviously not brought his in and casually taken someone else's because, oh, he thought he'd wear a fleece home Hmm

I was mortified. They don't wear fleeces every day, god only knows how long we'd had it. I returned it immediately with huge apologies and do you know what the other mum said?

"Oh that's OK Smile Don't worry."

...hmmmm wonder what relationship thread his DP is on?....possibly - "My DH is has no social skills and is an embarrassing twat!"

Re the need for a "Twat" emoticon. I presume twat does not mean the same to everyone. Because for me it is another name for fanjo (equivalent to the C word).

I'm amusing myself thinking about what a "twat emoticon" would look like Grin.

I took back a cardigan to school today actually, but i didnt wash it...Blush

The teacher had put it in dd4`s school bag along with the cardigan she was wearing to school(label sewn in too).

The mystery cardi was 2 sizes too big for dd4 and from a shop i dont buy from. lol .
Also name label-less .

Teacher laughed when i gave it back , and said thanks for returning it.
She hasnt a clue who it belongs to.
