Wife’s Angry Voicemail - Recording and text of Candy Tistadt’s rant, the wife’s angry voicemail that became an Internet hit - She lets a kid have it for calling her home about her husband, school administrator Dean Tistadt, not declaring a snow day.

The wife’s angry voicemail was directed at Dave Kori, a high school senior in Fairfax, VA, who called the school system’s administrator at home last week to give him a hard time about not declaring a snow day because three inches of snow had fallen.

Kori took Tistadt’s message, left on his cellphone, and posted an audio link on his Facebook page along with the Tistadt’s home number. Hundreds of students harassed the Fairfax County Schools’ chief administrator with a barrage of calls and the recording was posted on YouTube where it became a viral Internet hit.

Candy Tistadt’s Angry Voicemail Message

Wife’s Angry Voicemail Becomes Internet Hit

“This is Candy Tistadt, Dean Tistadt’s wife. This message is for Dave Kori. How dare you call us at home?!

If you’ve got a problem with going to school, you do not call somebody’s house and complain about it.

My husband was up at 4 o’clock this morning, trying to decide the best thing to do, to send you to school, on a day when the weather man is calling for one thing and another thing happens.

You don’t begin to know what you are talking about, and don’t you ever call here again!

My husband has been at the office since 6:30 this morning, so don’t you even suggest that he purposely didn’t answer his phone.

He is out almost every single night of the week at meetings for snotty-nosed little brats, and he may not have called you but it is not because he’s home because it snowed.

Get over it kid, and go to school. Get an education, that’s what you’re there for.”

From his point of view, Dave Kori thinks the angry voicemail message was undeserved.

“People in my generation view privacy differently. We are the cellphone generation. We are used to being reached at all times,” he said.

Kori explained his perspective in an e-mail yesterday to Fairfax County schools spokesman Paul Regnier. Regnier said, also in an e-mail, that Kori’s decision to place the phone call to the Tistadts’ home was more likely the result of a “civility gap.”

“It’s really an issue of kids learning what is acceptable and not acceptable. Any call to a public servant’s house is harassment,” Regnier said in an interview.

No school administrator can possibly talk to every parent or student who wants to question a decision, even about something as simple as declaring a snow day or not. There just aren’t enough hours in the day to deal with all the angry voice mail messages they receive.

Kori said that he was called into the principal’s office to discuss the posting of Candy Tistadt’s voice mail message online and encouraging other students to call the school administrator’s home phone number to complain, but said that he was not punished.

Candy Tistadt did not return phone messages from reporters, but Dean Tistadt credited Dave Kori for having the “courage of his convictions to stand up and be identified.”

He also credited him for causing the high volume of crank calls, not to mention considerable grief and embarrassment for his wife.

“This has been horrible for her,” Dean Tistadt said, adding that he and his wife both learned a hard lesson about the long reach of the Internet.

And that’s the text and recording of Wifes Angry Voicemail.
