Unnecessary comment about my outfit from male member of staff at the school - your thoughts?

[TwatAtSchool91]

I live a stones throw from a secondary school which I have to pass daily on our school run.

A male member of staff stands outside in the morning greeting the kids.

A few months ago he made a comment to me as I walked past him. It was a stupid remark, nothing vulgar or massively offensive, but it has bothered me to the extent I'm now self conscious about what I'm wearing whenever I have to go past him.

The comment he made was "morning Blade" in a mocking tone, both infront of the secondary school kids and my own.

(for reference I was wearing a belted leather trench coat and some black riding style boots)

It wasn't a friendly jibe, he was being a twat. I wouldn't give it much thought if he were a random in the street but he's stood there representing the school 😐

Would you have raised it with the school or not? Do you think it was inappropriate?

I would let it go he is yukky commenting on your outfit but its a one-off i would ignore it

You clearly don't have any bigger problems in your life if this is still bothering you to this extent a few months later.

Honestly, he's human. He said to to another adult not a student. Move on with your life.

Ok, is there a back story, I can’t imagine any grown up, even a child, would consider reporting this to teacher.

Tbf this sounds funny as. He’s quite quick.

Well he took the piss out of you which isn’t nice, maybe he thought he was being funny, but you can’t criticise a teacher on MNs!

I don’t get it

I dunno what "Blade" means.

Not seeing the issue

at all guess you don’t like him

I dont get it?

I think that sounds like good natured humour and you are massively over reacting.

He was referencing a film due to the leather trench coat? Why on earth would that be something to raise with school?

this is Blade

Tbf I probably would have thought you got lost from the Matrix in that outfit.

I might not have said it but def would have had a chuckle in my head.

I agree though its not worth dwelling on, he was taking the piss out of your outfit. He did it in front of the kids which makes him a dick but there you are, the world is full of dicks.

Its not inappropriate in a creepy way but whst do you want the school to do all this time later?

For all those that don't get it

🤣 Great minds @dogsmaid

This. Sorry OP I think you need a thicker skin & maybe laugh these things off!

If you looked liked that's I'm on his side and YABU

You just need to take the piss out of his outfit next time you pass. This could be a daily thing.

I would have laughed with him! It’s quite funny.

I was going to say I admire your resilience to be able to wear boots and a leather coat in this weather . . . but then I saw it was some time ago 😂

It’s probably one of those moments where even he thought afterwards that sounded better in his head 😂

Its actually quite funny though IMO.

But seriously - a few months ago?

Probably time to move on! Plus it’s school holidays so you won’t see him again for weeks anyway 🤷‍♀️

It was funny. It was also ‘a few months ago’. Get a life.

Not funny at all and very inappropriate. He should know better.

why would you report it to the school?
just smile and wave.

What was inappropriate? It's funny and on point. It wasn't mean or unpleasant.

He could have made a comment about the Gestapo, that would have been less acceptable.
