It's My Life

2002-03-29 - Arseholio, I Want To Smack You


I Want To Push You Under (For 10 Minutes)

Yesterday at the pool, it was Parent's Day, where parents are allowed to join in their children's swim class to see how they are doing. Our pool has a real nice hot tub but nobody is allowed in it unless it is during a public swim when there is a lifguard on duty.

Well, at one point I look over at the hot tub and see that there are 5 boys and one man sitting in the hot tub and so I go over to ask them to please get out, and the conversation goes something like this:

Me: "Hey guys. Sorry, but you're not allowed in the hot tub without your teacher."

5 boys: Grumble grumble grumble.

All but one climb out. That leaves man (who is ignoring me) and at that point, I assume his son. From now on, I'll refer to them as "Arseholio" and "A-hole Son".

Me: Excuse, but you can't be in the hot tub without the instructor so you have to get out.

Arseholio: No.

Me: Ummm....sorry, it's the rules. Please get out of the hot tub.

Arseholio: You go find out if my son passed his level and then I'll get out.

I say nothing and walk over to get this huge red sign that we have that says "Hot tub and sauna are to be used only during public swims when a lifeguard is on duty." Does he think I am pulling this out of my ass?? Anyways, I put the sign down about 5 inches from his head.

Me: This sign says that you have to get out of the hot tub.

* The parents sitting all around the hot tub are getting quite a kick out of our conversation.

So, after putting the sign down and saying that to him, I turn and walk away. Surely he got the hint.

Slam.

I turn around and the sign is lying on the ground. HE KNOCKED IT OVER!!! I stand there looking at the back of his head, speechless. He decided to finally get out and calls A-hole Son to come. A-hole Son then proceeds to pick up the sign, drag it about 15 feet and throw it down on the ground. Arseholio then walks by me to get to the changeroom and what does he do??

Shrugs his shoulders and *smirks* at me.

Ooooh, I wanted to smack him so hard upside his head.

Anyways, told my boss about this lovely man and she wants to call him and tell him off. She is NOT one to mess with.


days gone by * tomorrow
