Cool dude

By Blah - This FML is from back in 2009 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, I had to go to my son's school for career day, I explained what a banker does, then asked if anyone had a question. One boy raised his hand and asked, "When are all the cool parents gonna come?" FML

To #3-you've obviously never been in an elementary classroom. Kids are more brutal than Simon Cowell.

Tell that kid "Sorry, there are no parents with cool jobs coming. We fired them all because all your money are belong to us!"

Be happy you didn't get recession themed questions.

Luckily if you're a banker, you don't give two ***** what some little brat thinks of your job. To a kid, the only cool jobs are the ones like firefighters where they get to wear a hat and play on the truck. Heck, a kid probably thinks working in a toy store is the best job in the world.

If you're truck doesn't make loud noises, or have flashing lights, you're NOT cool.

What #22 said -- at least they weren't savvy enough to blame you for the shitstorm of the global economy!

#25 nice grammar Also, if banker can **** up the world, they must be pretty cool guys with pretty cool jobs eh

you deserved it. did you expect little kids to be into banking? what kind, anyway? if it's investment banking, then there was definitely no way. i'm about to graduate business school, double majoring in marketing and finance, and there's a chance i'd react the same way (albeit in my head) lol

You should have expected it. They're kids. You really think they'd be impressed by banking?

#3, what on earth does being mentally challenged have to do with asking a question like that? And I second what #4 said, kids have no respect these days!
