Fairfax County School Administrator's Wife Leaves Angry Voicemail For Student

Candy Tistadt, the wife of Fairfax County Public Schools administrator Dean Tistadt, left an angry voicemail for a student who called their home in an attempt to harass her husband.

Devraj "Dave" S. Kori, a senior at Lake Braddock Secondary School in Fairfax County, VA, called Tistadt at home last week to give him a hard time about not declaring a snow day.

Kori found a number for Tistadt, who serves as chief operating officer for the county system, listed in the phone book, and decided to call to ask why he had not closed the schools after about three inches of snow fell near Burke, Va.

Instead of reaching Tistadt, Kori received an spirited voicemail from his wife, urging Kori to never call their house again. Kori put the message on YouTube and it has since become an Internet hit.

Here is the transcript of her message:

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.
