The keen footballer, from Peasedown, near Bath, burst into tears.

He better toughen up. Theres plenty more where that came from when he goes to secondary school.

Silly ginger ****, this will haunt him for the rest of his school life.

This !

Why do parents leave their kids like that. Half the time the bullying can be avoided by the parents.

I know i was bullied as a child, and it could had been easily avoided if both my parents werent social recluse's with no social skills !

So he has a very unusual surname and they get upset when the quantum physicists that Dominos hires lack the mental capacity to spell it and use something that they will recognise easily?

Pizza boys aren't exactly the cream of the intellectual crop. Have they never watched Futurama?

at least it was not fat ginger kid.

What difference would that make?

From now on I'll be saying "beaten like Ross Wajgtknecht" whenever I get beaten at something.

Tikkabhuna · 9 Jun 2011 at 18:53

He's bullied at school.
He cried when being called the ginger kid.
Then his parents put it on the daily mail so his entire school would know he cried.

Smart move.

If we killed all ginger people at birth we wouldn't be having this problem.

We used to do it all the time at the counter when I worked at Dominos back in the day.

Was in the local rag today.

To be fair to the Dominos guys, when the kid has said his name which is easier to spell out of "Ross Wajgtknecht" or "Ginger Kid"...

Why is "ginger kid" offensive? He's a kid and he has ginger hair. Unless you actually get to know him, those are probably the defining features you're going to remember him by.

Completely agree, you say what you see. Within reason I suppose, "its the fat ugly birds tripple ham and pineapple pizza" would probably upset!

but....he is a ginger kid o_O i fail to see where the insult is, he can't ignore what he is. He has an ugly troll face with funny looking hair, deal with it kid!

danza · 9 Jun 2011 at 20:04

With a surname like that, I don't blame them TBH.

Did one of his ancestors mash an ancient stone keyboard to create the name or something?!

In a supposedly professional operation it's a joke. Take the mick out of the customers as much as you like behind their back, but not to their face and not in print for gods sake.

Expect the store to be firebombed. Ginger temper
