AIBU to think a T-shirt which reads...

"GOOD MANNERS COST FUCK ALL, DICKHEAD"

is not perhaps the most appropriate attire to wear to take your kids to primary school in the morning?

One of the Dads at ds2's primary school thinks it is.

Once did a teaching placement during which the class photo was taken. It was only afterwards that a parent pointed out that one child,s T-shirt featured the word Bastard! Snotty teacher tried to blame me for not noticing but she was there at the time and in the photo.

Horrible. It should be exclusively worn by dickheads in the student union bar. I would definitely complain.

When I was teaching I had a dad with explicit tattoos of naked women all over his arms. I think he was asked to cover up but rarely did so.

When ds1 was little we saw a lorry parked at the side of the road with one of those sun strips at the top of the windscreen which read "Happiness is a Wet Pussy." That sparked off lots of debate "well, it just means the driver likes cats, darling." "Yes, but why would he like them to be wet, Mummy? Cats don't like being wet."

I really wanted to go back later and put a brick through the windscreen.

I think the t-shirt is completely inappropriate, but I don't really see what the school can do. The school has a responsibility of care but this is before school starts. At the school my dd's attend we wait in the playground until the bell goes so I guess the headteacher could insist a parent wearing an offensive t-shirt doesn't enter school property, but if this parent is standing on a street outside the school how would the headteacher stop the parent wearing whatever he likes?

My SIL's partner wore a tshirt on xmas day that had women with legs spread eagle on it (naked). The grannys weren't impressed but luckily all the kids were too young to work it out.

I didn't actually notice it but had I done I think I would've told him it was inappropriate.

Anyway YANBU and I'd mention it to someone to have a word with him.

That's so stupid. Even my dc aged 6 could try and sound it out. And yeah, next question for ME not the guy in the stupid t-shirt would be "what's a dickhead?".

Oh some people just want to be 22 for the rest of their life.

I don't like t-shirts like that (unless you are at a festival...)

But I do like this hee hee
