Some of this was taken from my livejournal. But after this last Thursday, it gets far, far, worse I don’ t know if any of you have seen anything to top this.
What is it with these people who send their children down to the pool unatttended, and presumably any random bystanders will look out for them? I’ve had many opportunites to observe shit like this. Watch the little punks nearly drown themselves I suppose, because between these kids, couples playing grabass…Feh! It’s annoying but whaddaya gonna do?
One kid got thrown in so many times it’s a wonder he did not aspirate any water. There are kids there with siblings putzing around and not even a 15 year old “Britnie Cheyenne” to look after them. It is a certainty that between 7 am to 5pm most people are at work, and we all know about work obligations . But last night it was asssumed that I was the one in charge of a half dozen kids, aNone of whom I know the names of a one of them. There was a small boy called Cricket, but it is presumably a nickname.
I have no desire to scrape a kid off the bottom of the fucking pool and perform CPR on him or her, if stunts keep up, it is going to happen sooner or later. I have very recently finished a CPR course, but why should i be the only one presumed responsible? Why do i only see parents if the child is less than 5? How can it be that I am the only bloody one who is really pissed about this? None of this “it takes a village”, crap, just sit by the pool and watch your little fucks!!
Dopers are the exception to most rules, but how many people just passing by know CPR, and can do it well enought to be a help and not a hindrance?
My father had been laid off from the steel mill when i was 6 and he had a lot of time to watch over my sisters and I, at the pool in the apartment complex where we lived at the time. And I’ve no doubt that this colours my perceptions.
The teenagers have their own games and they include a girl who will swim up and grab your foot, there was a group of them on Sunday attempting to make a people pyramid, like you see cheerleaders do, and playing chicken. One of the guys got his shades thrown in a few times. There was a guy was doing cannonballs, breaking up the pyramid successfully. My favourite was another old standby, talking trash about another person and plotting to beat the shit out of them.
How To Drown Myself Properly
I went swimming again Thursday the 15th, and such asshattery and bullshit I never did see. I don’t know any Dopers in my town. Presumably you keep a better eye on your children than this.
Sometimes I get to go in the morning, but generally go in the afternoon. I don’t hate kids but I wonder about them, and today I wonder how they managed not to get hurt with these fucking stunts. Bloody-minded one-upmanshi[p and total fuckwittage. It cannot be said that I am a strong swimmer and so i try to stay out of the way of these kids. I have gone swimming more times this year, than in the past three years. They also got into a shouting match, a favourite activity of all. That will be at the end and it does get ugly.
They do a somersault in the air, then come down hard into the water. One boy launched himself backwards into the pool, and came up several seconds later. Another boy took a running leap and brought his legs up high and twisted before he hit the water with his shoulder.
Several kids had foam boogie boards and were attempting to surf on them in a pool that is only six damn feet deep at the end. At first they started in the deep end of the pool. Out of curiosity, I watched young shitheads set their boards, a couple of feet out, into the water and then take a running leap. onto the board, their boards would skate them about three more feet in and then they would get dumped. Smaller boys managed to get more “surf” in and tended to go for a couple seconds more, and about a foot further in.
I was swimming past, and two boys got a surf in at the same time. They hit the fucking water so hard that I went under and swallowed some goddamn water. What was I doing? Attempting to get the hell out of the way! This is why i enjoy swimming, so that after all this time i can finally learn how to drown myself properly.
They noticed that their rides would last a bit longer at the shallow end of the pool , so they took their surf there, and would set their board near the steps and take their leaps from there. They had seveal near missed at being badly injured. However, I had the deeper end almost to myself and was swimming laps while I watched with fascination. Then a boy in blue swim trunks stated shouting at a girl in red.
Boy: You a 'ho, spreading it for anyone with five dollas!
Girl: You a bitchass pussy, and I saw you get fucked in ya boody.
Girl: You a pussy asshole who starts shit, and don’t finish it!
Boy: Gonna punch you, and kick your ass.
Girl: Talk some more shit, asshole! Why you always hang out with little kids? Dont get out of the pool,come fight your battles, bitch.
Boy: Ya mama a Section eight crackho, I saw her trying to sell it downtown!! Downtown In Da Fort y’all!!
Girl: You goand tell ya mama she forgot to give you ya retard pills and your mental pills! You gonna live like a pussy and die like one!
This continued for a good half-hour and was watched with fascination by everybody else and I was actually a bit stunned by it all. I had heard lots of trash talk before in Indiana, but after awhile this got vicious, and a small boy was yelling “I don’t wanna hear about your pussy!” I don’t know if this is a kids in Florida thing or what, but I was surprised that no one left crying.
Why would a porn starlet be looking after the children? What kind of pool is this?
