Etiquette

Hello, I have a question regarding etiquette when sharing/splitting a lane that is against the wall (with the ladders). Today a woman wanted to share my lane with me but was perturbed when I told her that I wanted the pool side of the lane. It is my feeling that if I am in the lane first I get to decide what side I want, either the wall side or the pool side. Is there a general rule or some type of etiquette that I am not aware of?

    I avoid that lane like the plague.I learned my lesson the hard way by breaking my small toe on the ladder while doing *** stroke kick-I did not realize how much I drifted toward the wall and next thing I know I'm in agony,hopping on one foot. Needless to say,since then,if I have to swim in the dreaded lane,I stick to the laneline-and it is understood that who ever gets in with me can have the rest of the space-at their own risk.
