Kids: Educational

Educational

Today, a police officer came to talk to the kids at my workplace. He asked what they wanted to hear about first. A group of them shouted, "The donuts, tells us about the donuts." Apparently these idiots are the future of my country. FML

Today, I came through a DUI checkpoint. The trooper noticed some donuts I had. He asked, "Are those donuts?" Jokingly, I replied, "Yes. Why? Are you going to confiscate them?" He didn't see the humor and pulled me off to the side to have a team search my truck. FML

Today, I was pulled over for distracted driving. I'd been eating a donut. Let's just say the officer didn't appreciate being offered one. FML

Donut laugh at me

Today, I had a job interview at the local donut shop. It turns out I misunderstood the position, and that the job was actually to wear a donut costume and wave at cars outside the shop. I was told this after I got hired. FML

Today, I had to go to my 10 year-old son's school to talk about my job being a chef. As I was almost finished, I asked the kids "What would you like to do when you grow up?" Without hesitation one kid replied with a straight face, "Anything but being a douchebag like you." FML

Today, I was at work at a local hot dog chain. A child (about 10, who I've seen there before) came in to order food for his Dad. He orders very excitedly, and I told him he'd be a great worker here when he gets older. He said "oh no, my Dad says I'm too smart to work in a place like this." FML

Today, I had to go down to the county police department to bail out my kids who thought it would be a good idea to try mugging an ice cream truck driver. FML

Today, I made brownies for my co-workers. My boss called me into his office, and I though he was going to compliment me on the baking. Instead, he talked about how his 5-year-old daughter can make brownies better than me. FML

Today, while I was working at a supermarket, a kid started to cry in line because he couldn't get candy. Since we have free lollipops behind the desk, I gave him one. His mom complained to my manager and said I was grooming her child. FML

Today, my daughter told a police officer to call me because I could get them fired unless they let her off for speeding, spitting at and kicking officers, and damaging police property. I work in a supermarket and have no idea what she was talking about. I can’t fire anyone. FML

Awkward small talk

By mybad - 25/08/2009 13:21 - United States

Today, a customer brought her kids into the store where I work. I like to make people laugh, so being my usual joking self I kidded, "Why aren't those kids in school?" She didn't laugh when she said that their house burned down the night before and the kids had no clothes to wear to school. FML

I think you're overreacting. They are just kids.

At least they chose a subject the police know about.

These kids aren't "idiots", they're just interested in the supposed stereotypes. lol XDD Give 'em a break. I mean, anyway acknowledging stereotypes and actually being an idiot are different. Also, what did the policeman say about the donuts? I'm curious lolol

Kids will be kids, OP. No need to get so worked up about it; their joke doesn't necessarily indicate that they don't acknowledge or respect the service that police officers provide.

Okay I don't mean to go off here but aren't kids supposed to be dumb?! THEY ARE KIDS! Don't you think it's smart that they even asked about something that is sonewhat related to a policeman. Plus If you work at a place with children then that means that you are a teacher of some kind or you run some kind of a daycare/ babysitting service. Therefore their "idiotic" question is a result of your poor instruction. If you think that they are idiots then it is YOUR job to fix them. I'm sure the kids have heard that whole donut thing there whole lives anyway so grow up.

Most of them are. I'm only 15 and I think a bunch of people are complete idiots, not only the teens. .-. So don't bag on us, dude. Adults are stupid, too.

When you were that age I doubt you would have been too keen on, say, criminal justice legislation either. Give them the benefit of the doubt.

Would you rather the cop tell them about the rampant corruption or how he abuses his power on a daily basis?

These idiots? I'm appalled by your choice of words.. I'm a kindergarten teacher and kids will be kids especially if they are really young. I would have laughed jus because they are kids. I feel sorry for them knowing that their teacher is an asshole. If anything I'm worried that someone like you is allowed to teach the future generation.
