Just being me.

An irate parent and other short stories...

Yesterday marked my first day doing gate duty at school dismissal. Actually the main thing I have to do/ensure is that the students do not run while crossing the little zebra crossing from the school to the side gate. And, as if in an attempt to welcome me to my first day doing it, there came a highly irritated parent who stepped into the school compound(parents are supposed to wait OUTSIDE the school gate) to make himslef heard. He started complaining about his presumption that we hold the kids back and release them in batches. This probably stemmed from his observation that some of the kids were still streaming out even 10 minutes after the first few students had been released. However the folowing quote from him is what made me amused and wanted to laugh. "Wah, if my blood flowed like that(referring to the kids streaming out in different batches), I would have died long ago!" Haha....he even wanted us to convey his complaint to the P. That was so dumb because this practice does not even exist in school. Heh, it could have just been the case of teachers holding back the students to collect back their art pieces or whatever. Anyway, this parent seems to think that the school owes him the time spent to wait for his child. So darn impatient. Can't even wait for a few more minutes.
