Not playing well with others! - My adventures at the pool.(RANT)

I wonder....is playing well with others something that we learn as kids?  Or as adults are we "open" enough to adapt this trait! :)

I would like to think that as adults we have the ability to play nice, share with others and not get nasty/crabby when we don't get our way.  This morning I was proven WRONG!!!  I arrived at the pool at my normal time to find the "aqua" class forming.  Now first let me say I think its great that people are getting out and exercising in the pool when other forms of movement prove to be too stressful on their bodies.  With that said....OMG OMG OMG OMG, do you really need the entire GD pool?  You have your 3 lanes one of which is a wide end lane.  Why must you pout and fuss demanding a fourth lane because you feel crowded??  For the love of pete, how much room do you need to move? Ok, so I'll give you the fourth lane and MOVE right in the middle of MY set which I WAS timing. AARGGGGGHHHHH! Can't we all just get along???  

What now??  Ah yes of course,  your floaty barbelly things drift into my lane so I have to stop and move them, to which I get yelled at and told to leave "your stuff" alone.  ARE F'ING KIDDING ME??  Ok Sam, deep breaths......just swim, relax, breathe......OUCH.....WTH?  Did I just get kicked mid lane?  Now how is that possible???  OHHHHH, I see you're hanging on the lane lines and kicking into my lane because you need to hang that way so the sun isn't in your eyes?  OK, THATS IT!!  We need to talk.  I politely explain that I'm trying to swim my workout, and that there are only 3 lanes left for lap swimming(even thought there is suppose to be 5) so I'm trying to finish up quickly.  The actual reason being that with all of you bobbing up in down I feel like I'm in an OWS with wakes like a washing machine.....you even submerged the line lines with the waves......thats impressive!

What's that?  You say I need to be more accommodating and that people "my" age ( so I'm considered young @ 42 - YIPPEE!!) have such a sense of entitlement, then on top of that you add that swimming is the ONLY way that you're able to feel good everyday (although quietly in my head I disagree,  you aren't actually swimming you're BOBBING).  Next sentence without stopping to breath...you accuse me of being selfish.  Ok, I've had enough!!  Since when is everyone under the age of 70 a piece of selfish crap that apparently only exists to make your life troublesome!  Ah, thats right I remember now.   I didn't walk thru the snow as a child,  with bare feet to milk the frozen cow and then have to carry that milk to the general store to sell so that my mom and dad could put food on the table and pay for my education, clothing etc. Geezzz you're right.  MY BAD!  Now get the hell out of my lane SHUT UP and if you kick me again I'm going to make sure you test out this months co-pay with MEDICARE while you're at the broken foot doctor!

Ok, so maybe I'm kidding about the broken foot thing, but SERIOUSLY??? Go away, I've been nice enough.  You obviously do not SHARE WELL and you definitely DO NOT PLAY WELL WITH OTHERS!

Hee hee
