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!

what a Twat (what would a twat emoticon look like - would it look like a nice feminist hairy one or a nice smooth one )

Children going home with other peoples things is par for the course for school

I would have assumed he was joking TBH.

I would have just laughed in his face.

niggle wiggle -
something like this -> (^)

????

if all else fails just do this one instead

....

Wow, what a twat. Universal yanbu here I think?
You need a late comeback, a la George Costanza in Seinfeld (who spent days thinking up a suitable reply to a rude colleague: "The jerkstore called...")!

Sounds twattish, but more of a "new parent who doesn't realise how common this is" situation than a "MAN! Grrr!" situation.

Definately a twat! My DS lost his trousers three years ago after changing into shorts for PE - still not found!

he sounds like a prize knob head.

would you be able to go back and say something?

along the lines of 'when I returned your ds's cardi the other day I thought you were extremely rude blah blah'

Twat!

Yes UQD it is all to easy to jump on the gender aspect of the situation, but you do get women like this too as Lucysmum's story suggests.

DH would have put him right in his place, I'd have been too shocked. DH usually counters comments like that with a swift 'who do you think you are talking to? Don't ever speak to me like that again.' kind of thing.

Chopchopslowcoach - Three years! If those trousers turn up you're well within your rights to declare "Well, it's just not good enough".

I wonder if he thought he was being hilarious.

Yes YANBU. He doesn't necessarily have to be grateful to get it back, it's his son's jumper, but he's being a twat about the "not good enough" thing.

I think I know this guy. TWAT!

It may be the case that people who employ a lot of people in high-pressure industries are used to speaking to them in this way, and can't adjust their register accordingly. It doesn't excuse it but may explain it.

You iron school jumpers?

He is King Twat of Twatshire! I wield my sarcasm like the beautiful, shiny weapon it is:

"It's just not good enough..."

"Nor is your knob, good day to you."

"You iron school jumpers?"

Doesn't everyone?

I iron school jumpers - not sending my kids to school in non-ironed stuff

I would just have said.
Wow you're rude and walked away
YANBU

Love Chils response re the small dick

Total dickless wonder.

Have not ironed a single thing since 1995.

I don't iron school jumpers. Or school trousers, or polos.
Shoot me.

Please please please write out one hundred times "I must try harder" and hand it to him at the school gates!

At the rate my DD loses her school jumpers I would be grateful if one of them turned up weeks later covered in paint splodges and snobs!

If someone presented me with a freshly washed and ironed jumper I would be ecstatic!

If you DC ever brings home this child's jumper again just put your childs name in it or bin it - ignorant twats deserve all they get.
