It's not right for the school to not go by the sign-in sheet! I wouldn't blame the people for cutting when it wasn't obvious they were technically cutting (because of the sign-in). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-crazy-for-thinking-this-was-rude#post-2457117 Wed, 10 Feb 2016 15:17:35 +0000 mrsbubbletea 2457117@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So annoying! I absolutely hate situations like this. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-crazy-for-thinking-this-was-rude#post-2457014 Wed, 10 Feb 2016 14:13:26 +0000 Me3 2457014@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Neeikierose I think you are right about speaking up calmly in the moment. I am so bad at that! I feel like I have such a hard time being assertive sometimes. :(</p> <p>@T.H.O.U. and @ Mrs. Carrot I think I will tell them about the confusion just so they know for next year. Great suggestion.</p> <p>Again, thank you all for commiserating! I'm feeling much better now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-crazy-for-thinking-this-was-rude#post-2456935 Wed, 10 Feb 2016 13:38:09 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2456935@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Carrot: Yes, I think mentioning something after the fact is a good idea to the school. Letting them know, hey the process was confusing and it lead to some issues, can you please resolve next year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-crazy-for-thinking-this-was-rude#post-2456896 Wed, 10 Feb 2016 13:22:24 +0000 NeekieRose 2456896@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That sucks and I'd be upset. But I don't think there is really anything you can do about it now since the spots have already been given to others. It might have been better to say something in the moment in a calm and reasonable way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-crazy-for-thinking-this-was-rude#post-2456856 Wed, 10 Feb 2016 13:06:24 +0000 simplyfelicity 2456856@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Carrot: Agreed! </p> <p>I would be calling the school and asking for an exception. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-crazy-for-thinking-this-was-rude#post-2456852 Wed, 10 Feb 2016 13:05:12 +0000 rachiecakes 2456852@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would be so annoyed. I absolutely hate when things are so disorganized like this. Someone should have been there early taking a list - a real list that they hold to, if you were told to get there early. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-crazy-for-thinking-this-was-rude#post-2456840 Wed, 10 Feb 2016 13:00:04 +0000 Mrs. Carrot 2456840@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, it was rude, but the real fault lies with the school for not being specific about the process they follow for this. They should have spelled out clearly that there is a first come first served number system so that you knew in advance about it. Either way I can totally see how aggravating that is, I'm sorry you had a rough morning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-crazy-for-thinking-this-was-rude#post-2456839 Wed, 10 Feb 2016 12:59:42 +0000 Me3 2456839@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thank you all so much for commenting. I honestly just needed someone to validate my feelings. I feel good that I reacted calmly and I think the people who blew past me know what they did. Maybe they'll feel guilty about it and maybe they won't but I feel like I behaved like a responsible adult. And as I said to my husband, now I know for next time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-crazy-for-thinking-this-was-rude#post-2456830 Wed, 10 Feb 2016 12:58:20 +0000 snowjewelz 2456830@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh I would be so upset! I'm so sorry :sad: Is it possible to talk to the school again about the list and the fact that everyone signed up on it but didn't follow the order once the doors opened? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-crazy-for-thinking-this-was-rude#post-2456820 Wed, 10 Feb 2016 12:54:44 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2456820@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thats really rude but I agree its probably best you didn't make a scene. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-crazy-for-thinking-this-was-rude#post-2456816 Wed, 10 Feb 2016 12:53:15 +0000 catomd00 2456816@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's rude, but I'm not surprised and I would have totally expected that to happen.

It was definitely rude of those people to just go past you knowing you were there before them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-crazy-for-thinking-this-was-rude#post-2456804 Wed, 10 Feb 2016 12:49:11 +0000 youboots 2456804@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd be pissed. I'd bring it up privately to see if the list was theirs or not. If it was that is the order that should have been followed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-crazy-for-thinking-this-was-rude#post-2456797 Wed, 10 Feb 2016 12:45:42 +0000 Me3 2456797@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mediagirl I just heard them say later, "We didn't put that list up there--I don't know who put it up." So maybe one of the first guys who got there put it up? Obviously there was some confusion. But then since EVERYONE had signed the list, it seemed like we were all in agreement that the order of the list was the order we should use, and then people just blew past me to get in the door sooner and get a better number. I'm just really frustrated about this I think because it seems like a bunch of grown ups should have a little bit better manners! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-crazy-for-thinking-this-was-rude#post-2456776 Wed, 10 Feb 2016 12:40:01 +0000 mediagirl 2456776@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Me3: wow. I'd be so pissed. I hope you get that waiting list spot. Did you ask the school about the list on the door? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-crazy-for-thinking-this-was-rude#post-2456772 Wed, 10 Feb 2016 12:38:44 +0000 Me3 2456772@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's quite competitive to get preschool spots where I live. The preschool that's closest to me and a good fit for our family had registration this morning at 7:30 a.m. There were only four spots left for the class I wanted, and I was told to get there early, so I arrived at 5:15. There were already three people there. One outside, two in cars. I got out and the gentleman standing outside the door said there was a sign up sheet on the door. I could sign up and get back in my car to wait. So I did. </p> <p>More people arrived and I got out of my car around 6. I spoke with a few of the people waiting, all of whom had signed up on the sheet and knew that I had gotten there before them. There didn't really seem to be a formal line, we were all kind of bunched up. When they opened the doors for registration, two of these people deliberately went ahead of me in line through the door, and the women doing registration handed out numbers. I still thought they would use the sign up sheet to determine order of registration, but we were each called back by number. I did not get a spot in the class I wanted. However, I am first on the wait list. </p> <p>As I walked out, one of the moms who knew I was there before her and went ahead of me in line asked me if I got in. I told her no. I honestly can't believe she had the nerve to talk to me. </p> <p>Of course I'm kicking myself for not just bloody standing in the line sooner, but I also think the two people who knowingly went in front of me in line and took the last two spots in the class I wanted were pretty big jerks. I didn't say anything and I'm kind of kicking myself for it, but I also don't want to be the b**** who made a big deal at preschool registration. Plus I'm pretty sure to get a spot since I'm first in the wait list. But really, I couldn't believe how these people acted! Am I just being a sleep deprived crazy mama bear? </p>
