Hahaha! Excellent answer

"Your cold, dead heart" damn Campbells

totally correct

appropriate response

Selfishness is not limited to boomers.

Awful behaviour. But why the need to mention her race?

Epic burn!! 😂

That's how a serious company have to answer in situations like this

The divorce party line is brilliant

I would do the same, even though my wife or anyone else in my family is not black

I hope you said this on her face in front of the kid. Asking kindly make things so much easier.

I would also be mad, really.

And that's how a this girl started to lie, since being honest took the prize away from her.

dang....i have a story similar. when i was in preschool, people who helped (clean up) extra got a tattoo at the end of the week, so i decided i was gonna work really hard to get my dora tattoo. by the end of the week, i had worked enough to get my tattoo. the teacher was getting a washcloth to put it on, while i was just sitting there. (i was holding the tattoo, cuz i chose it from the prize box) so she put it on my arm and we were just waiting. but it started to look kinda weird, so she pulled it off, and apparently the plastic was still on. she started yelling at me cuz i didn't pull it off...she never told me too...and i didnt even know you had too. long story short i never got my dora tattoo :(

...and thus a valuable life lesson was learned.

When I was little I used to go with my dad to work, he was a plumber so we’d go to different houses. One time this house we were at had some peacocks and my dad found some tail feathers, I loved them. I had them on a pin board in my bedroom. One day at school we must have had to take something’s in for display and I took my peacock feathers. A few months past and the display was taken down but I never got my feathers, when I eventually asked my teacher for them she told me that they weren’t mine and that they were hers that she’d brought in 😡 wtf this still pisses me off, I was about 10! She stole my feathers 😂🤦🏻‍♀️

It was a lesson they were trying to teach you since you failed. The lesson was that you should have lied about getting 2 pencils and simply showed the special one. Intentional or not, that's what they teach kids.

I was really in to basketball, and the boys were playing so I asked to play. They turned me down because the teams woupd be 'uneven.' The one I asked proceeded to ask one of his friends if he wanted to play, whilst I was watching. I confronted him about it, and he simply walked away. Im still very salty about it

Insert the pencil into her gut and out pops two organs. If you're lucky, one will be vital.

I would take the *un*special pencil

Boy am I pissed off. That kinda of action stays with you forever. I would love to find that witch and tell her I want my f—king pencil back with the prize.

But if you can't let go of it in all that time, you need some serious help

I don't like children and even I think that this is messed up.

A lesson in honesty , I reckon

It's amazing how many nasty, shrivel-hearted people were employed in our schools in the past. It appeared to be that the only qualification needed was a hatred of children!! Do hope it's a lot different now.

You paid for one got two, that was the prize.

and they wonder why kids lie...

I’ve never gone to a school, at any level of education, where the office workers weren’t ALL lazy, gossipy, miserable bitches. If you showed up while they were talking/gossiping/complaining, they’d give you the stink-eye, as if you’d interrupted them from what they were being paid to do.

And like what happened to you as a result of not getting the special pencil prize. Become a crack addict from the depression? Fear of pencils? Or did your life continue relatively normally? Gotta know, the suspense is stabing me like a pencil!

I remember injustices from elementary school, too. Only I'm over 70! :-) I think that these kinds of things keeps us more empathetic and kind as adults.

I would have given you a prize for honesty even if both pencils were plain ole pencils.

My sister was in kindergarten and it was her birthday. She got a big birthday cake with a cute figure in the middle. The kindergarten teacher who cuts the cake gives the piece of the cake with the figure to her own daughter who was in the same class as my sister. My sister then got a normal piece like all the others. On her birthday and the the teachers child had the special piece. My sister is almost 40 years later still sad about that.

Wow lady, talk about teaching a kid honesty does not pay.

Why would you punish a child who was honest? I'm pretty sure the prize was something like an eraser or something equally cheap, so, if anything, the student should have been rewarded for their honesty.

I'm mad for her.

lol why tell the office lady that you got two ? I would have just taken in the star pencil on its own ...

i would be mad so so mad

Really, Bored Panda? You call people entitled because they tell a childhood memory and recall how hurt they were and still feel bitter?! So unfair.

Why you teaching gambling to small kids???

So, what exactly is the problem here? She had a painful childhood memory where an adult acted like an asshole and took her prize from her. Kids have zero power, and there are a lot of power-tripping adults who pull this kind of crap with kids all the time. Of course that memory would still sting. That doesn't make this woman a "Karen", which, if you have to resort to calling someone this overused term, you have no real basis for your objection to their behaviour. Honestly, who writes these lame posts? Do better.

I'm amazed she's alive given the absence of a heart

How dumb can you be? you could have just booked the appointment then not chat when you were at the appointment. no one will continue talking if you don't answer

the team later gave the little girl a new ball and some autographed merch and banned the older woman from games in the future.

I would invite my kid's friends everyday...

What an A....hole
