I can only endorse the anti-noodler rant.I try to get out before they arrive as they seemingly have no sense or respect for others and their perfume makes the air unbreathable,what is up with that?
I actually had a noodler hit me one time. Well, not hard. I was upside down, executing a flip turn, and she tapped my hamstring. (Apparently that is the universal sign for "we're taking over your lane NOW.") It was so unexpected that it invoked the fight-or-flight response from me as I pushed off the wall. All of a sudden I was shouting obscenities underwater and dolphin kicking at 100% intensity. I did move over after that... Their class is Fridays at 9 am, but I try to be out of there by 8:45 since that's when they start commandeering lanes.
