  • Make me do labor for free? Explain to the Inspector why your office door is bright pink.

    So I am a highschool student, and I am the president of the art club in my school.
  • A high school student in a red sweater sits at his desk with a mischievous smile.
  • I can say I do decent things. the principal and my art teacher asked me to paint some white and peeling walls however I want, and I'd get free lunches. ( I need to add that my school doesn't have a cafeteria and just a canteen.
  • ) and since I had nothing better to do and I'd get out of chemistry and maths, i said yes.
  • An empty principal's office.
  • I painted some of the walls and a door for the chemistry lab. whenever I finished painting, they'd ask me to do something else.
  • Like paint the old benches or draw custom designs on doors. once I was done, I went to the principal and he said he couldn't give me free lunches.
  • A pink-painted brick wall.
  • so, when they asked me to paint the principal's office door since it was old? I painted it bright pink.
  • and since they asked me to do it and didn't tell me what to do exactly, they couldn't say anything.
  • But there was something I forgot. I was doing all of this because the inspector would be arriving.
  • An older man holds his head in discomfort.
  • (so, this part of the story comes from my homeroom teacher who is a part of the disciplinary committee.) when he finally arrived with his 3 secretaries, everything went well and he praised the paintings and intricate work.
  • But when he got to the principal's office.. it's door was Bright pink. he left in a hurry and our school got some maintenance people sent.
  • (sorry for my Grammar, English isn't my first language) And quick edit: my school is supposed to be the most funded and the most disciplined school in the whole district.
  • So, we can say I caused them a lot of headaches. Don't play with my lunch of chicken nuggets shoved into a piece of bread.
  • Edit: Thank you everyone for the love on this post! And I'd really appreciate you guys scrolling down to see my replies before asking questions, because I am EXHAUSTED from answering the same questions again and again ^~^
  • Coder Joe1 You painted them into a corner
  • Success Novel2231 Original Poster's Reply Haha, we can say I did!
  • Efficient_Fox2100 A valuable lesson in exploitation. Sorry you got exploited.
  • Success Novel2231 Original Poster's Reply It's alright, really. Not the first time they did this, actually. But I know I caused them a LOT of headache, so I am sipping my tea with my chest light!
  • Metalsmith21 Should have given the inspector a bill for your labor.
  • Success Novel2231 Original Poster's Reply Haha! I really should have! Maybe I'll do that if it happens again! 0_0
  • sanglar1 And you've learned your first lesson about employee-employer relationships. Well done.
  • thegiantgummybear I don't understand why a pink door is such a big issue...?
  • Success Novel2231 Original Poster's Reply First of all, it's supposed to be a really well known and a really disciplined highschool. Second of All, it's just really unprofessional. And the color was like neon pink, on a 50 something year old man's office door.. it was really silly, and the inspector was apperantly a 60 something year old man.
  • Efficient_Fox2100 I hope you get labor contracts in writing next time. The Graphic Artists Guild has a bunch of contract templates though I believe you need to buy their handbook. Worth looking into overall, if not getting templates from GAG. https://graphicartistsguild.org/dpegs- contract-downloads/
  • Success Novel2231 Original Poster's Reply Ooooo thank you!!
  • thegiantgummybear Sounds like they are extremely insecure about their masculinity. Haven't they heard the phrase real men wear pink??
  • Success Novel2231 Original Poster's Reply I don't think they did, really.
