I made two enemies at the pool.

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

I go to the pool pretty frequently so I recognize most of the regulars. Two of them are a couple of Pakistani men who I see there pretty much every time I go. I’ve never spoken to them myself but I’ve heard them speaking quite a bit. They can both speak English but have strong accents that I find hard to understand and when they speak to each other it’s always in Urdu.

So today I’m sitting in the hot tub with those two men and two other older white men.

The two white guys start talking about “those damn foreigners”. They’re going on quite loudly about “I have to work my whole life for everything and all they have to do is come to this country and they get medical and dental and…”.

I looked at the Pakistani men and they were just sitting there, quietly listening. I tried to give the white guys the evil eye but they were so caught up in their rant that they wouldn’t look my way.

After about 3 minutes I said “guys! come on!”.

They both looked at me and said “what?!”

So I said "do you really think it’s appropriate to be having a conversation like that with these two gentlemen sitting right here?

So they started to say “well they should hear what…”

But then the Pakistani guys got up and left and then the white guys got up and left, muttering away about “damn Liberals”.

So then I was alone in the hot tub so I floated around in the current. If there’s nobody else in it, it spins you around in a circle.

I assume they are speaking Urdu because I looked up the languages of Pakistan and it said that the languages are Urdu and English. But they just sound like my aunts mother who speaks Punjabi.

So this isn’t a poop thread? ::leaves::

I am dying to float around in a hot tub…

Given the username, I was thinking/hoping this was going to be a poop thread.

When I was getting changed into my swimsuit there was a Down Syndrome girl in the change room who said to her mom “I have to poo!” So her mom took her to the stall and she pooped, stinking up the entire changing room. At first I was a bit grossed out but then I realized that I was VERY glad that she used the toilet.

Ew, hot tubs. After working for several years at a dermatology office, I can never think of them the same. Little micro-universes of infection.

I know. Do you pee in the pool? - In My Humble Opinion - Straight Dope Message Board

I decided to block it all out of my head and pretend it’s all clean and non-peeie.

8

Pee’s the least of it- it’s sterile.

9

That’s how you can really be sure if one’s a liberal… They float.

10

La la la la la la, can’t hear you!

11

However, if she didn’t wipe good enough, after the swim, her pooper will be clean as a whistle.

12

No see, her mom wiped her and did a PERFECT job, ok?

13

The first part of your username along with the topic, is making me smile. Your last post- made me lol.

14

Poop aside, I’m glad you spoke up. I wouldn’t have had that courage. I wish I did, and I wish more people did.

15

I enjoy making stupid people look stupid. Allow me to join your floating armada of righteousness.

16

So, the white guys are the ones who you think are your enemies now, right?

17

Well they didn’t seem too happy with me. I don’t actually mind too much and I’ll still be polite to them if I see them again.

18

If you would’ve pooped in the hot tub, you could’ve had FOUR enemies.

Slacker.

19

Then I could have sat there, mesmerized by it floating and bobbing in the current. But then I’d have to change my name to FloatyPoopy.

A righteous rant about how hard one has had to work for everything just doesn’t have that same sting when it’s delivered by someone lounging in a hot tub.
