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:
I bet they would be quick to see their error. It's not like the noodler ruined your entire workout (although you let him/her ruin the rest of your day).
Seriously, you've never been up against the noddling gang to make such a foolish statement as this.
Please note that a group of us noodlers should be referred to as a pod, bloat or herd. A gang usually is reserved for buffalo, elk and turkeys.
Good point, although buffaloes do come in herds as well and I believer there are such things as water buffaloes.
I've heard enough from the other pool patrons to know that they consider lap swimmers the rudest, most inconsiderate, holier than thou folks in the pool.
Jealousy...pure jealousy there...:drown:
As long as the crazy ancient pool hogging noodlers have gotten their way by turning every single Y in the nation into an 88 degree piss pot, they are not allowed to utter one single other word on anything aquatic related. Noodlers are in no way the majority over the many other swimmers, lessons, etc that have no use for putrid hot water. What they are is the loud mean majority who have ample free time to complain to the aquatics directors all day and night. You don't believe me, ask any Y aquatic director about this. And, since 98% of them are grossly obese they have no clout with the fitness community of lap swimmers who are at least trying to get a workout in.
That's some kind of attitude, Hooiser. If the noodler was just standing there, why didn't you simply slide over a fraction of an inch and finish your 100? If you have established your space against the lane line, you could flip within inches of the stationary noodler, finish your 100, and make a your point. I bet they would be quick to see their error. It's not like the noodler ruined your entire workout (although you let him/her ruin the rest of your day).
the noddling gang...
