Swim Rant

ARGH! Okay I am glad I found this rant thread. I need to vent. I was doing a workout the other day and this girl asked if she could split lanes with me. No problem there, I was happy to share. Well, she doesn't get in for 10-15 minutes and by the time she is ready to get in 3 other lanes open up. I kindly ask her if she would mind taking one of those lanes since they were open and she looked at me and said, "No but you can move." I was in utter shock as the pool I swim in is not busy at all and is only used for lap swimming all day long. I kept thinking it was rude of me to ask her to use another lane but somehow I just can't think I was rude. She did finally go into one of those lanes and there were still 2 open lanes an hour later when I got out. Rant out. I'm over it now! Phew. You were there first and she expected you to move? What nerve. I've refused to split ever since a lane-mate who insisted on splitting didn't bother to tell me that a third person had joined us. I had a head-on collision with the new person, who was under the impression that we were circling. Butterfly is a good way to get rid of an obnoxious lane-mate. If you don't do butterfly, you could always do a really splashy kick set.
