has anyone encountered snobs in the pool?i know i have,they come in..say half an hour after you start swimming..then decide that they have your lane..you know they swim directly in your path even though you have swam linearly for 1500metres +...try keeping your path and you end up colliding...sometimes they appologise...sometimes they ignore..i have to change lanes....

  • The Barge - now that is good. Let me relate a story about a previous pool I used to swim in. Well, it's sort of pool related. We had this guy who would go in the steam room and/or sauna for a loooooong time, always in the same wifebeater tank top and gray sweat shorts. He would then come out of the steam/sauna room and immediately strip down and proceed to put these items of clothing directly in the swimsuit spinner,nthe water extracting device. It was grotesque, and he was a barge-esque man to boot. We started calling him "The Sweat Peddler." He could sweat like he was hooked up to a hose. Needless to say, if you saw The Peddler, you either raced to beat him to the spinner or just took home your suit rolled up very wet in your towel. Putting a Peddled suit in your swim bag was not a good idea.
