Can I yell here?? - Yada, Yada, Yada

OK first a bit of back ground to get everyone up to speed... I work for my Aunt, well the lady that just married my Uncle about 5 years ago. And for our Christmas party we were asked to bring in a picture of us when we were babies or younger. BUT no one would say what they were going to be used for. NO biggy right. I was bringing my mom with me because she is a great sport. So we went looking through pictures and found a cute one of me, her and then this one of my moms whole family... which of course included my Uncle. *sidenote my uncle lived in UT at the time and my oldest Aunt lived in CA... and my mom in the BH during the time of this pic* SOOOOOOOOOOO ok, we didn't know if my Uncle had any of his pictures around, as he had a bad divorce and things like that men tend to forget. SO my mom and I sent this picture of her family with. FUN!

Now, before I would turn in these pictures I made sure that we were getting them back. Yep Yep Yep. OK cool, I put my name on the envelope and the names of the people in the pictures. All is well.

Skipping a few weeks to last night at the Christmas party! We come in and they have a board with everyones pictures, and numbers. You need to guess who is who. OHHHH HOW FUN!!! Plus a $50 prize makes it good too. Now mom and I are going through, finding people and putting the names on our sheet. Come to the one of my Uncle, and its cropped. NO biggy, they made a copy right.... WRONG... THEY CUT the picture. A 30 year old picture, which was before my Gpa got very very sick, the CUT the family out of it for the picture of my UNCLE! NOW, NO ONE asked me if they could cut the picture. They asked my Aunt, she said yes. WHAT THE! It wasn't HER picture.

What was said... My mom asked, "you made a copy right?" Susan (the aunt) said "nope" So my mom goes to explain that this is a priceless picture... Susan says "well you shouldn't have sent it if you wanted it back" So a big gulp of air later, we went to chit chat with others.

Found out that Susan was the one who gave permission, and that a few people were not happy that they cut a picture. AND well I guess they still have the pieces of the picture. (we will see). I am going to point out that I was told that we were getting these back. And that no one would say what they were using them for, and figured that it was safe!!!

Im so mad! Im really wanting to yell!!!! HOW dare a person disrespect my MOTHER of all people. She is hurt, and so am I. Hopefully the pieces will all be there so we can scan it together, but we will never have the orginal again.

I want to say something but my mom has asked me not to because it would just make tension in the office and well kinda ruin Christmas when we see them. But I DOUBT like hell we will be attending any functions that Susan is putting on anymore.

And maybe all this fuss over a picture is stupid, but its a priceless item. You can't put a price on a picture of people back in time.... I really treasure all my pictures I have.

Unbelievable! I would be super pissed too. I wouldn't be able to keep my mouth shut. I would've told her off the second that I realized it was cut. ALL pictures in my opinion are priceless. Even if they are of yesterday it's priceless because you will never have that day again. It was rude of her to cut a photo she knew was older. She had to know it was older, you were a baby in it for heaven's sake. She seems to act like she doesn't like your family. I would give her a piece of my mind and let her know that you don't appreciate what she did or the fact that she acted like it wasn't a big deal. She should've had enough respect for you to call you and ask if you would mind them cropping the picture. That way you would have an opportunity to tell her no. I'm so sorry that this happened to you and I wish you luck in whatever you decide to do.

I just called and talked to the person who did the display board. She said that she has all the pieces *thankgoodness* and that she didn't feel right doing it, but Susan said go ahead.... Im not mad at the girl who did it, she was just doing what she was told. But for crying out loud, Susan should have had a clue. *eyeroll*

Poetmom · 12-17-06, 06:01 AM

That is SO rude, and just mean!! If you'd known there was a possibility of a picture being cropped, or of not getting them back, then YOU could have made a copy to give them in the first place. To specifically be told that you were going to get the pics back, and then to have that happen, is just WRONG!! So sorry that happened to you and your mom.......especially from someone who is supposed to be family!!

justreen · 12-17-06, 10:16 AM

Oh my god !I would be so pissed and that is so rude of her to do that.Urggghhhh...
To me whatever and no matter how old the picture is priceless!
I'm so sorry to hear that your mum and you got hurt like this.

loco_chik · 12-17-06, 10:25 AM

PICTURES ARE PRICLESS!!!!!! OMFG I would screamed in her face, sorry I have a temper lol and can control it if I choose, but what she did was unacceptable! It may not have meant anything ti her but she should have had more respect that to say yeah sure, go ahead chop it up

I am so sorry for you and your mom hun.... but glad they have the pieces still, I hope you can get it to look like new

pricanstina84 · 12-18-06, 11:19 AM

I would be pissed too!! I love pictures, taking them, looking at them whatever!! I probably get it from my grandma because she llloooovveesss pictures!! I hope she realizes that she did a BIG NO NO on her part!

but3rfly · 12-18-06, 08:22 PM

UPDATE...
I got to work today and I had 2 out of the 3 pictures I turned in. I was flipped out. I thought well maybe they gave it to Susan because they assumed that it was her picture. WELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL Susan said that she is taking care of it. I guess she is taking the pieces to a professional studio to get the picture back, in a professional quality. She told me "I figured your mom was pretty upset about it so Im trying to make it better" WOW.. yeah ya think?!?!? I think that her secretary told her how upset my mom was. She had no clue .... nore did she think about it. BUT yeah... I guess you can say she may have felt bad. *shrugs*
