The school receptionist when a student leaves for an appointment

[@StorytimeWithAlly]

It’s the unnecessary pettiness for me. I don’t understand why they’re like “I’m gonna mark you absent because you left school for an ortho appointment” when the teacher already excused the student. They act like school is the most important thing in the entire universe. I’m just like “I’m still coming back tomorrow. I know I’ll need to make up work. You don’t have to make a big deal about it”

[@joyce_zhong]

Yeah that and it’s the fact that they aren’t even the teachers for me 🤩. Like the actual teacher could care less as long as you make up the work lmao.

[@StorytimeWithAlly]

@@joyce_zhong What annoys me about High school teachers is that they’re like “You need to always turn everything on time bc they won’t give you extensions, and will only accept pen, so get used to writing in black pen right now” But I’m in college right now and Professors are pretty chill about the due date and I can write in pencil (in some of my classes), so I was like “Why did they make College out to be so strict??? If anything, *they* were the strict ones for trying to scare us”

[@cjzvibes]

Receptionists generally are usually drop outs so really they are just deflecting the fact they didn't get their basic education finished.

The attendance secretary got like this with my mom once…when she said, “you ARE aware Mrs Clark, that this will affect her attendance record, right?” My mom, who’d been up all night with my sick baby sister, said, “oh no! However will she survive the rest of her life with an early departure on her middle school attendance record?!! Her life is OVER! Whatever will we do?!!” Very loudly and very dramatically. Then she calmed down and said, “have a nice day.” And led me, (laughing my ass off, btw) out the door. The principal had heard the commotion and come out of his office. He saw my mom, turned around, and went back in. Yeah, she was infamous for not tolerating the school’s superiority complex. ☺️

She got petty, called home while on speaker in hopes to embarrass me, to my Mam who said 'Oh no, whatever will she do...

I had a band teacher get upset that I was missing his class for a doctor's appointment. He asked me why I planned it just before his concert and I was going to be missing really important stuff. I told him that my appointment was scheduled six months in advance at a specialized hospital 7 hours away and that my seizures were more important than band practice. He was pissed

[@MusicalBotany]

Why have we all had similar experiences? I had a counseling appointment scheduled the day of a a band concert, so I missed the class period that morning (but I was on time to the rehearsal before the evening concert). My band teacher forbade me from performing in one of the pieces because he didn't feel I was "ready" enough.

[@Medaya14]

My band teacher was looked at and praised for being almost a grumpy old grandpa. Boomer and “get off my lawn” type of guy. I loved him him too but boy did he piss me off. And everyone just TOOK it, no questions asked. Well I had a major life trauma and honestly gave up on myself, life, everything - so I honestly couldn’t stand to hear something so unimportant being made to be such a big deal. Exhibit A: we were told we were disrespecting other schools by leaving during their performance to go to the restroom or get food/water, therefore we were banned from doing so the entire night out and during class and after school practices. I was thinking to myself - we have kids with eating disorders in this class, we have others with health conditions (they can’t not drink water or grab their inhaler or eat), we have young girls that NEED to go to the restroom during the 7 am to 9/10 pm performance day. He had suggested these things before but he was saying now he’s enforcing them. I cut him off immediately with the loudest voice I have ever used toward him and (knew this would make him uncomfortable but proved my point) WHAT ABOUT US GIRLS WITH PERIODS, WE ARE LITERALLY BLEEDING FROM OUR VAGINAS AND CAN DIE FROM TOXIC SHOCK SYNDROME IF WE DONT CHANGE OUR TAMPONS/PADS. He didn’t even argue back, he looked so disgusted and so caught off guard and immediately knew he was in the wrong and wrapped up what he was saying so fast and hid in his office while we all packed up to go home. After some more semi unrelated traumatic shit I decided to drop band because of the toxic bs reported his abusive comments and behaviors to the school counselor. They were pretty moderate things considering more severe forms of abuse but nevertheless damaging to an impressionable teens psyche. He retired the following school year.

My mum would always phone in the morning g to inform the school that I would be leaving at a certain point if I ever had an appointment, so all I had to do was go to the reception and get checked out. One time I got asked what my appointment was for and I didn't mind saying it was a doctors appointment but then she asked why I needed to go to the doctor and that made me super uncomfortable because it was about my periods so I told her I didn't really want to talk about it (especially to someone I didn't fuckin know) so she replies with "how do I know you're actually going to the doctors then if you've not got a reason" And I was already agitated at this point so I got so pissed off, like shaking with anger kinda pissed off, and I told her i DO have a reason she just isn't getting to know and if she really wanted to be that nosey and had a problem with me not telling her my private business she is more than welcome to talk to my mum when she comes for me. That lady didn't say another word and handed me my lil slip and I walked out the door still shaking cuz I usually don't do confrontation lol She must have been a temp or something cuz she wasn't there for very long, thank GOD (either that or she was just shit at her job).

The worst I ever had, was my daughter’s tutor at 6th form college, had taken 5 months off, because her Mother was terminally ill & then very sadly died. She returned to work for 2 - 3 weeks & then went off work with stress, for another 6 weeks. Shortly after this my own Mother died & I was diagnosed with breast cancer. As me and my husband were divorced, my daughter wanted to be there with me, as I went into hospital for a partial mastectomy. While I was waiting to be admitted, my daughter’s tutor rang her & began to berate her, for missing a day of college. I said tell her I want to speak to Mrs L (her boss). To which the tutor started to back off, saying ‘oh there’s no need for that!!! If it’s just for today I’m sure it will be OK etc etc’ I just couldn’t believe that she’d been through all of that devastation with her own Mom, but had absolutely no thought for what her student was going through!!!

The "Right, Megan, Megan WHAT" never gets old

[@lucillerenaud8114]

I have 3 kids, my youngest is graduating in 2 wks. I'm so happy to be done with all of this exact abuse from the office staff. I identify 100%.

[@jamie6506]

They act like the student booked the appointment And then when they talk to the parent, who did book the appointment, they seem completely unaware that that may have been the only time available. She nailed it

[@anniehill2547]

Next time you do another short like this you absolutely NEED to put some dark eyeshadow or somthing under your eyes to make dark circles, they ALWAYS have dark-dark circles lol! Love your accuracy 🌝💅🧋💦✨

I remember in high school the secretary pressing me for details about a funeral I was attending to see if an absent was excusable. "It's my grandpa's funeral" I said. That was the end of the conversation.

[@Plasma187th]

You just know that’s the sort of person who would find joy when you come back with mouth pain

[@Fawnthedeer23]

the face expressions are perfect

[@gwen_mastandrea]

The fact that this is the same person as DOTTY. FLABBERGASTED. ABSOLUTELY FLABBERGASTED.

[@princessamber18]

This is so true!!! My youngest daughters elementary school secretaries are amazing though! The middle and high school are this lady exactly!

[@jando3637]

This is a rare occasion where this must be outside the US, the desk people at my school were chill asf.

[@mariatwilightsparkle2593]

Geez, I’m glad I never had a rude school receptionist

[@hokiangateroroa]

LoL!! My daughter's high school had a lady just like this!! She tried to tell me I couldn't pull my daughter from class (reason doesn't matter, she's My child) and after a bit of back and forth, I just told her to shut her face. And she did.

[@txaggyraf]

you portrayed them so well my face gradually turned into a massive frown while watching this

[@w.hattery]

I swear they always act like it’s the worse crime to miss a day or two

[@olivesmagicalchannel815]

This is so spot on

[@Lineplayzz]

The name and the WHAT never fails me😂😂😂❤

[@PupRiku]

Too accurate. I got this when I was getting my braces. I didn't get to attend the end of year little event they did for 100% attendance because I wanted to not have teeth that were going to physically destroy my face :')

[@enanan4]

i never had to leave school for some appointment, yet this seems so true anyway

[@rachelhansen2417]

I had a school nurse who would always say, “well I don’t have a magic pill to make it better!” It always felt so condescending.

[@djdaint6206]

The attitude they give you though 😂

[@steviee0_0]

I want an asmr of this tbh✨️

[@ldbruzzi6622]

I lived in England for a year when I was 14, and this pettiness is 💯on point

[@weronikas1100]

In my school, if you go for an appointment, they don't take away your attendance so it would still be 100 percent if the only reason you're not in school is for appointments.

[@valentina94]

sometimes i forget she’s acting bc of how good she is 💀💀

[@ameliaeu1968]

Literally the passive aggressive is so on point. I don’t understand why people get these kind of jobs if they are constantly bitchy about everything and rude to the students and parents

[@eviekillen6570]

They literally don’t care sometimes😭😭

[@elvenbugs]

its like they dont realise that the child isnt the one deciding when the appointment is

[@dahnyasimpson5958]

I'm my highschool,the front desk ladies/men are super sweet,even tho there is documentary about how my mom is my real mom they made her sign me out,likd take her ID and ect. But if you come late they're super nice about it,they compliment you all the time and try to make small talk:),if you're leaving they will tell you how lucky you are lmao
