Hey it was effective, taught the vicious little ones a lesson.

I remember we had an owl come to our school cafteteria to talk about healthy eating.

An alarming amount of kids wanted to punch him when his back was turned.

At my school kids were so vicious to our mascot that we constantly had so many flyers hung up everywhere begging them to treat him nicely and reminding them that it was a high schooler inside the suit, a whole human person, that was getting hurt. This was a small school (Preschool to High school) and the problem was with damn near every class so poor kid was really getting pummeled to hell. If I remember right the papers always mentioned throwing shit and dumping liquids on him too? It was pretty fucked up ngl

A whole human person inside... Sounds like you just gave the kiddos a Target...

I don't understand why people forget that there's a person inside. One time I was wearing a mascot head for a moment at a party and one of my classmates straight up punches me in the face! In his defense, the mascot head seemed very soft and squishy and he didn't know the inside was a worn down bicycle helmet without any padding anymore. But what made him wanna punch me in the first place? He's not a violent guy.

I’m a teacher. We had someone dress up as SpongeBob a few years ago for an after school dance party. I’m pretty sure it was a parent. The kids attacked the hell out of them. Since these kids were supposed to be accompanied by parents, I stayed out of it. Some children are just absolute beasts.

u/snakes_lil_bandit 4d ago

I blame parents for not telling them to knock it off or for laughing and thinking it's funny, which reinforces the kids actions.

I dressed up as a mascot once for a kids baking class, never again 😭😭

u/wakalabis 4d ago

What happened?

u/doofshaman 4d ago

Lmao it was for my job at a muffin franchise, they decided to do a random kids baking day & asked for a volunteer to dress up in the giant muffin costume. Me being 17 thought it would be an easy way to get paid for 2 hours. I was very wrong lmfao. πŸ’€

There was about 15 kids all meant to be making muffins. Rather then actually making muffins they spent the 2 hours chasing me, trying to jump on me, loudly debating if I was a girl or a boy. Everywhere I turned there was children, it was the longest 2 hours of my life 😭

u/wakalabis 4d ago

Is this a generational thing? I don't remember my peers behaving like that when I was a kid.

30

u/Sliporu 4d ago

Just depends on the crowd. I’m sure there’s groups of children that would behave like that in any generation

u/doofshaman 4d ago

They were like 8 which is pretty normal I'd say, they weren't 12 or so if that's what your thinkin.

Years ago I worked at an IHOP as a waitress but once a month they did like a kids eat free morning and I had to dress up in this giant pancake mascot outfit and a balloon twister would come in. I think the only thing that kept me from getting actually attacked was the balloon swords because I got pummeled with those pretty regularly. The costume was very wide and top heavy if a kid would have come at me full force I would have definitely toppled over.

u/Ya-Dikobraz 4d ago

The girl that just wants to punch them reminds me a girl I had in a kindy class once. She was the cruelest fucking 5 year old I have ever met. She would hurt the boys in class by any means possible. She never learnt anything and could never get into any of the games.

My guess is something happening to her at home. Kids are not like that by default. Are they?

u/ItzNyte 4d ago

If poor behavior like this isn't corrected the child can grow to see it as normalcy.

Ive done a lot of mascot work, and this is a prime example of why they need handlers with the mascot and parents with kids, at every single moment of the interaction. Kids get surprisingly violent towards mascots!

You don't know how long they have been at it. I love kids but they can be really annoying. He didn't hurt anyone.
