Before I began swimming at the gym pool, I read the rules and policies. Clearly I’m the only one because most of you bozos didn’t. Getting in a lane designated for laps and just floating there in the goddamn way instead of being in any of the huge open swim areas, putting yourselves in the path of oncoming swimmers, not circle-swimming, being a fucking nuisance. And if you bring your kids they’re twice as bad. I don’t understand how this many people can ignore signage or not follow the guidelines. It’s a fun place and all but how can you consistently be this friggin’ oblivious? Share the space! Jeez! —Mad Mermaid

I never read signs.
There does seem to be a good amount of immaturity, ignorance & not giving a shit about others going on around town
