Not Stoked.

Just had a swallow me now moment that is going to haunt me weekly.

At swimming lessons with my kid. It’s a small viewing area behind glass. All the seats are taken up as usual so I’m stood at the back. There’s a big bunch of new people there.

A mum has saved the seat for her husband at the front (in front of me).

Husband gets back and stands in front of me leaning on the chair for a straight up 10 minutes. He’s in the dead centre and is blocking the view of everyone.

After 10 minutes of staring at this guys back i tap on his shoulder and explain as much as i love looking at your back would you be able to sit down or stand on the side please.

The guy is fuming and muttering stuff at me but does move over. Then he says over to me I’m trying to watch my son which i say that’s what I’m trying to do as well :man_shrugging:

All was ok until 10 minutes later one of the instructor’s came in and (obviously in front of all the parents) explained to the mum how he’s howling although theres no tears. He’s screaming to see his daddy.

It’s at this stage i wanted to die.

Clearly theres some issues with his son which required him to be able to see his parents.

I go over and apologise to the dude…a lot. He apologises for his reaction tbf.

If only he explained why he had plonked himself in the middle of the room…

The cringe when the instructor left the room was off the charts.

These lessons are every week. FUCK.
