What's the big deal?

So one of the staff at Dominoes Pizza, had wrote on the schoolboys receipt 'Ginger Kid' instead of his name.

Is it at all surprising when his name was Ross Wajtknecht, most would not be able to pronounce it let alone spell it.

It made me laugh.... could have been a lot worse.

he gets bullied at school, he gets bullied at Domino's, hahaha.

[ummmm]

I laughed...

I have loads of gingers in my family. I don't think any of them would be offended by that.

I'll see my OH's reaction in a bit....you really can't get any more ginger than him...

[Bbbananas]

I bet he laughs ummmm...

Come on, that kid needs to toughen up a bit. It's not as though they put Ugly T*** or Lard Arse or something. Burst into tears? What a wuss.

I did laugh that it was actually printed on the receipt, personally I cant see the big deal, its a descriptive like "the bloke with the beard"

[ummmm]

I'm sure he will Salla....

[jackthehat]

Damn foreigners..........coming over here with their linguistically challenging surnames....

[ummmm]

Lol...

[Snafu03]

as long as you dont put ethnicity into it, anyone is fair game.

[Bbbananas]

Yup. Silly boy.

[flip_flop]

There is no big deal.

If this made him burst into tears, he must be a gibbering wreck every single day at school - ne needs to toughen up a bit.

When I was at school kids showed no mercy. Gingers, kids who wore glasses, fat kids, kids who had free school meals etc... basically, any perceived 'weakness' or difference was exploited. Kids who were a bit effeminate were gaylords, bummers and poofters, kids who had any sort of physical impairment were flids, spastics and mongs.

One poor sod went through his whole secondary school life as spastic spencer becuase he had a wonky eye.

This was all in what was considered a good grammar.

I'm pretty sure kids are the same today, so if 'Ginger Kid' (which let's face it is very mild and descriptively accurate) upset him then he's a ginger *** pussy.

Could have been worse....fatty...smelly....big t1ts.....baldy.....!!

No big deal.

flip_flop - you've made me literally laugh out loud - great reply. I shouldn't have laughed at 'spastic spencer', but I did - that was so indicative of schoolday taunts & nicknames. And ginger g a ylord pussy - brilliant.

thanks for that ;-)

I wonder where it all started, all the jibes etc that go with a person whose hair happens to be ginger, that is?

Is it just a male thing, since there are a number of females who are natural red heads, and even more that dye their hair so, yet they don't seem to be ridiculed?

flip_flop...excellent answer.
