» Clients Are Stupid
Just remember, I deal with the same stupid clients you do, only I get them in too-small speedos...
I work as a lifeguard at a year-round pool, and we get lovely bits of stupidity like the following:
-There is a thermometer in the water so we can easily check the temperature of the pool, and a man swims up to me and asks "What's this?"
"A thermometer, sir"
"Is it water-proof?"
-What time is the 9.30 arobics class?
-Two children swimming in the pool and suddenly get a panicked look on their faces, look at me and ask if they are allowed to swim
During the warmer months, we also work at the beach, and I found these to be quite....well...yes
-I'm picking up a dead jellyfish up off the beach, and a lady walks up and gives me a funny look and asks me if that's a jellyfish. I say yes, and she asks very accusingly "Well....were are it's testicles?" ...n-t...big...big difference
-Why isn't the water heated? You should think about heating the water.
-Do you add salt to the water???

» My first love
the cupcakes were delicious, btw
His name was Ian, and I was six. He was the class outcast on account he would constantly have his hands in his pants in order to reach that oh so irritable itch. But that mattered not to me, not at all! We would frollick through the rain puddles whist holding hands and one day while holding hands and frollicking, I said:
"Ian! I Love you! Lets get married! But only until valentines day, then I will break up with you."
He replied with an ok, then we went inside, hand in hand, to eat cupcakes. Apparently it was, in fact, the very day of our breakup, and we were having a class party.
He didn't seem too broken up about it.
Bastard.
