False accusation

By Missa - 04/07/2009 03:04 - Canada

Today, one of our store's beach balls came out of nowhere and whacked me in the back of my head. I started reaming out two young girls for playing in the store, even when they said it wasn't them. Soon after, one of my employees admitted that it was her. I made some 7-year-olds cry and it wasn't them. FML

Wow, what a bitch you are. Are all little children automatically liars, 100% of the time?

Tss, kids lie all the time and they need to be taught a lesson once in a while. This time, they learned that you're a jerk and life is unfair. Next time they enter the store, maybe you can appologize.

Gosh girl, calm down. Beach balls won't hurt you THAT much that you need to blame it on two little girls.

agreed! considering they were 7-year-old girls, they couldn't have thrown the beach ball very hard. OP:it probably felt like a little tap on your back? you didn't have to make them cry, did you? don't blame kids for everything, you were a kid once and you wouldn't like it too if a random shopkeeper scolds you for something you didn't do.

You made two little girls cry because you thought they'd been throwing a beach ball around? Even if they had done it, do you not think that was slightly... OTT?!

YDI, cos yeah, everyone should just blame kids for what's happening today e.g. war, abortion, more war (!) Pft.

You should NEVER scold someone else's children, unless you're a teacher. You're a bitch. YDI.

Agreed. This was going to be my point. I would be pissed if someone yelled at my kids even if they did do it. You tell me what happened and then I'll deal with them.

...Seriously? So if your child was playing on a playground, and someone else's child hit him/her, you wouldn't reprimand that other child? I feel sorry for your offspring. I agree... kids usually are the ones doing it. How was the OP supposed to know it wasn't them when the employee who was actually chucking merchandise around didn't step up?

No because it isn't my place to reprimand them. I would just lead my children to another place to play and tell the parent of the child who hit mine what he/she did. I might say something to the child if I knew him/her but not if its a child I didn't know. I wouldn't want someone doing it to my kid. I would rather deal with him/her myself than a stranger. The OP had no proof it was the kids who did it. Its awful that kids (no matter if they are young or teenagers) get blamed for everything.

So my kids will be ******* because I don't yell at other kids...?

PA88, you got it right. The right thing to do is approach the child's parents and let them deal with it. That doesn't turn your kid into a pussy, what sort of logic is that? These people arguing against you are morons.

I agreee that you shouldn't scold another person's child, but I've been in a situation where some little kid hit my brother and I told the parent. Guess what she said? "I don't give a Sh&% he probably deserved it." Not even joking about this.

Haha I always go to K-Mart with my friends just too fool around and I'm 16. It's fun to be a kid sometimes. OP, although you were doing your job, was it really necessary to flip out the way you did...?
