During the lunch break at school, the automatic doors at the main entrance shut themselves off. Only members of staff with pass-keys can open them or whoever is behind the receptionist desk. This is so the school can monitor any of the kids who decide to go out for lunch. If they choose to go out, they have to sign in and out.
I don't have a pass-key yet, so if I want to get out during lunch, I have to ask the receptionist to let me out. Today I was leaving the school, and as I approached the entrance, I noticed that a parent was heading out with me. The receptionist was in the other room on the phone (I could see her from where I was stood) and there was also a small group of kids who were signing their names so they could go out for lunch.
The parent walked up to the automatic door, and he was shocked when it did not open for him. He turned to me.
Sucky Parent: How do you get out of here?
Me: Oh, the receptionist has to let you out, but she's on the-
SP: FOR FUCK'S SAKE!
The SP went up to the desk, and started banging on the little bell as hard as he could, scaring the group of kids.
SP: HELLO?!?! HELLO?!! LET ME THE FUCK OUT! FUCKING HELL!
Me: She's just on the phone! Please control your language in front of the children!
SP: Well I want to get out! I'm wasting my lunch break here! Fucking hell!
The receptionist hung up the phone and walked out.
R: Excuse me!?! Was that you I heard while I was on the phone?
SP: Yes! Let me out!
R: How dare you use that kind of language in front of students!
SP: I will speak however the fuck I want!
R: So you're *random students* father then? I think I will pass this information on to the head teacher!
SP: Ooooo, what's she going to do? Expell my son?
R: No, but she will get an order and have YOU banned from the premisis.
SP: Just let me the fuck out.
R: With pleasure!
R let him out. She then checked all of the kids who were signing out, and sent them on their way. R is a good friend of my mum, so we had a chat about what happened.
R: He came in here about five minutes before you came down, screamed that he had *random students* lunch, and that he was in a hurry! I had his son meet him just outside the reception, and I turned away for about a second! Next thing I know, he is battering the bell!
I realised something today. Parents are not customers. They can't exactly ask to see the manager, and they can't really demand to have someone fired for being "rude".
I think I am going to like being a teacher
