Why do you make me be mean to you?

Many people think I'm this sweet girl.  For the most part that is true...but I'm a real mean girl the majority of the time.  I don't give second chances. You get one time to jump on my bad side...I'm just done with you.  I will forgive you...but I will cut off all communication and the "friendship" or whatever it is was will be over.

When it comes to strangers...I try to be kinder.  However, there are times when I just need them to know...I am not to be effed with today. 

Last night was a perfect example.  I went to the pool at the gym...to practice what I learned last week.   To work on my kick and to allow myself to become more comfortable with the water.  Well about 20 minutes in a cute little couple shows up.  Young kids...but fit and ready to do some laps.  The pool had other people in other lap lanes swimming laps.  I'm just staying in my small section "swimming" back and forth...not even very far.  Well the little snot of a boyfriend swims down to my end.  He says...out of the blue...no hello...no nothing.  "It's not good to wear goggles when  you are learning to swim."  I looked around to see who he was talking to.  That fool was talking to me.  So I politely say..."Are you planning on giving me swim lessons this evening?"  To which he replied, "I was just trying to be helpful."  I replied, "Unless you plan on being my swim instructor, thank you for your advice...but keep it to yourself."  Yup I was in a mood.

So I continue to do my thing.  He and his little girlfriend are swimming back and forth.  Well I guess I'm in their way.  The little fucker proceeds to ask me if I can move to another area, since I don't really know how to swim and they are trying to race/practice (not sure which).  After I looked at him like he had 3 heads.  I had to go in on him.  I didn't raise my voice or even use profanity (which is rare for me, because I so enjoy profanity).  I told him that he was rude and should learn to respect his elders.  I also told him that it was even ruder to ask someone to get out of the pool because they couldn't swim at the same level as him.  Then I proceeded to tell him that if he didn't get away from me ASAP we were going to have some serious issues..

I try to be kind to people...but I will hurt your feelings if you say the wrong thing to me.  Needless to say...him and his little girlfriend left the pool area.  I emailed a complaint to the manager last night.

I am a swimmer. I swam at the University of Maryland and at the national level for many years as a teenager. I have never heard of such rudeness. I have also never heard that you shouldn't wear goggles while learning to swim. There is a new culture of "athletes" who are intolerant of beginners and newbies that really irritates me. We all start somewhere. I applaud you for learning to swim in adulthood. This is why I loved the blog post you linked from a runner that was praising those of us going out there and trying. Keep on doing what you do and screw those people who somehow feel superior because they happen to have started something before you.
