One 100 free to go in set. Two open lanes.(no lane lines in pool) Noodler comes over to stand in my lane to talk with friend. Pool is set at 85 degrees cause all the noodlers say it is to cold otherwise. I complain to guard, am told, "well there are a lot more of them then there are lap swimmers" Wont be if they keep this up. UGH! :frustrated:

The guard has a point! If indeed there are more noodlers than swimmers, why should the noodlers sacrafice because a lap swimmer wants the water colder? I was raised to believe that while you may not agree with the majority, the majority rules and not to sit around complaining, do something to bring about the change you want.
I'm not convinced they are a majority, just loud complainers, but even if they are the majority you should brush up on your de Tocqueville:
