D.P., no quero Mrs. Giri
So, yesterday, I walk into Mrs. Giri’s Spanish class with my check-out slip to un-register, more than a little excited that I’ll never have to see her again.
“I’m sorry,” she says when I hand it to her. “I can’t sign this. You never returned your textbook.”
My eyes instantly glaze over with pure rage. Last Friday, 3 FUCKING DAYS AGO, I had told her “I never took my book home. I checked it back in the first week of class. It’s still in the classroom.” She had said, “Okay, I’ll find it and sign it in for you-I can’t believe I forgot to do it before!”
And now the bitch was telling me I hadn’t turned it in. I told her about our conversation, and she stared at me, a look of dumb incomprehension stewing in her mushy brown eyes. Brushing off my logic, she ordered me to search through, oh, I don’t know, probably about 60 textbooks that were haphazardly strewn about the room. After looking through all of them (some of them had to be searched out from under desks and the backs of cabinets) I politely informed her that the book was not to be found in the room.
She then accused me of stealing the fucking book, and informs me that if it’s not returned within 3 days, I will have to pay $60 for it. Now, this is the REALLY ridiculous part. If you’ve been in this class, you’ll know why. The book was missing half of its pages before I ever touched it, and they’re all going to be thrown away at the end of the year, as new books have already been ordered.
I proceeded to head a school-wide search for the book. Luckily, it was found quickly, in a classroom across the hallway. Along with 3 other books.
The point of this rant: if someone accuses me of stealing a piece of shit book EVER again, due to their gross incompetence and failure to keep track of said book, which is THEIR responsibility, my head may just explode.
Rantasaurus Says: She sounds like a real snatch, especially since I think she hid your book and those two others across the hall in the French teacher’s room. They’re having un amor prohibido, if you know what I mean.
