To think this Brown Owl is plain rude?

[itchybumagain]

My DD is a Brownie and she loves it.

She's only recently done her promise, so is working towards badges.

They are doing their 'friend to animals' badge and we were told they had to bring some pet food as a donation to local charity.

BO also said if they didn't provide the food they couldn't do the badge (I think this is wrong?)

So my DD takes £2.50 worth of food today, we were first to arrive so not busy. DD hands it over, made up look on her face, BO doesn't look at either of us ticks name of list and turns her back on us.

No thank you, nothing, DD looked so let down as she chose it herself hence the £2.50!

Plus I think it's unfair to put conditions of donations for them to get the badge, what if someone can't afford it?

I've bit my tongue but itching to say something

Shit, if it's got to be a significant event before we start a thread then MN will become a dustbowl!!

partypigeon wins the rude award

I will concede Partridge has a point.

Thanks, slattern :) I do think that the power of MN is to diffuse our angry feelings before we twat someone in the head act upon them. AIBU, if correctly used, is invaluable for this.

Well OP you could always remove your daughter from the pack of such a rude and ungrateful Brown Owl. If its anything like my pack (and probably most of the other guiders units on here) one of the 80 girls on my waiting list would jump at the chance of joining us. But I forgot - she loves Brownies. Guess poor Brown Owl can't be that awful then. ( Just to qualify- yes manners are of course important in case anyone thinks I don't believe that. However we are all allowed to make mistakes, unless we are a Brown Owl receiving a packet of pet food)

miaow if that is too abrupt for the op then she'd be a bit daft; I think that would be perfectly adequate and indeed friendly (for the implied praise).
