Holy Christmas

[customersruinmylife]

It is the last week of school before Christmas, and there is something going on every night. We have orchestra, nativities and services going on. Tonight, it was choir.

Half an hour after the performance started, a man came to the door. I let him in.

M: I'm so sorry, I know I am late. I am here to see my daughter sing in the choir, can you please let me in?

I was debating whether I should or not. Afterall, it wasn't as if he had wandered in five minutes late. He was half an hour late, and the perfomance was half over. Why should all the people who made it on time be disturbed by him? But, I was feeling kind.

Me: I will let you in, on the condition that you go to the first seat you come across, and do not disturb or climb over anyone who is already in there.
M: Ok, Ok, I promise. I just want to hear my daughter sing.

I let him through.

About a minute later, he stormed back out, looking very angry.

M: WELL YOU MIGHT HAVE TOLD ME SHE DOESN'T ATTEND THIS SCHOOL!!!

And off he went.

He didn't give me a name or anything, yet I was supposed to know who his daughter was. He may not be able to see his kids very often or something, but I lost all sympathy when he had that outburst.

[Mnemjian]

He's late for his daughter's recital, AND he doesn't even know what school she goes to?? That's a pretty big parenting fail...

[XCashier]

How the hell are you supposed to know whether his daughter goes to that school or not?! And he yelled at you over his own stupidity? Unbe-fg-lievable!

[Mondestrucken]

Wasn't he in dictionary, as an illustration of moron?

[raw456]

I think we have a winner for douchebag parent of the year.

I feel sorry for his daughter.

[LillFilly]

I....I got nothin'.

That was just un-freakin-believable.

[Soulstealer]

He didn't give me a name or anything, yet I was supposed to know who his daughter was. He may not be able to see his kids very often or something, but I lost all sympathy when he had that outburst.

I lived in a different country from my dad after the parents divorced and yet he still knew the names off all our (mine and the siblings) schools, if and what type of special needs teaching was needed, any time one of us had to go to the emergency room, etc. We may not have gotten to see each other often but he made sure to keep in touch with us while we were growing up and saw us has often has he could. Any parent who can't even make the effort to find out the name of their kids' doctor is an idiot.

Does the school have a similar name to another school?
In my area, we had (Town) High School as well as (Town) Academy.

*blink blink* There's no possible way I can read this and not find it utterly hilarious. How do you explain that mistake to your precious daughter without sounding like a tool?

[figures]

I tend to get in trouble, laughing at people like that..

[Mongo Skruddgemire]

There are no words that have the power to fully describe just how @#$%ing stupid that was.

He doesn't give you a name, doesn't give you any information whatsoever, and had the gall to yell at you for his own mistake.

There are no goddamn words.

In my area, we had (Town) High School as well as (Town) Academy.

There is only one school in the country that shares a name with mine, and that is over 200 miles away.

[South Texan]

Dag nab it. I violated Rule #1 again.

This one made my morning.

[RavenStarr]

I wonder how many different schools he went to trying to find his daughter

I also wonder what twathead would have said if CRML would have asked what her name was.

[Primer]

I almost asked if the daughter's name was Lisa, but even Homer knows where his kids go to school!
