Reasons
Top 10 Reasons why lifeguards have to put up with more shit than any other job:
10) Scanning (doing nothing but moving your head back and forth counting people for hours on end)
9) Adult patrons who sit there and patronize you about running the pool.
8) Adult patrons who break the rules because they think they are above the laws of physics
7) Kids who won't stop running on the pool deck.
6) Kids who whine about people splashing them when they're doing the same thing.
5) Everyone who doesn't put away their equipment (b/c then i have to).
4) Water aerobics instructors who think you are their personal slave to do their bidding (getting noodles, moving lanes around).
3) Water aerobics instructors who yell at other YMCA staff for being in 'their' lanes (they really should try a more sensible approach, LIKE ASKING THE PERSON TO MOVE INSTEAD OF YELLING AT THEM, ugh, and yes this is reserved only for water aerobics instructors).
2) the 90 degree pool deck that i sit on all day long.
and the number on reason why lifeguards have to put up with more shit than any other job is:
1) cleaning up shit (literally).
I really think the only person that can claim to have to deal with more shit than a lifeguard is the POOPSMITH. talk to ya'll later. this is me venting, by the way.
