Today, I saved a woman from drowning at a pool where I lifeguard, but when I got her out of the water she started screaming about sexual assault. Apparently I accidentally brushed her breasts when pulling her up and out of the water. She wants to sue me. FML
Today, I was at the pool with two boys I babysit. The eldest wouldn't get out of the pool so I pretended to call his dad. He then ran out of the pool, pushed me down, grabbed my phone, chucked it into the pool and then ran back into the pool. FML
Today, I was at work lifeguarding and saw a kid drowning on the far end of the pool. I decided running would be the quickest way to get to her, but as I ran across the pool deck I slipped and hit my head. The kid's mother jumped in to save her child and then called an ambulance for me. FML
Today, a little kid accidentally ran into me at the pool. He apologized by biting my leg. FML
Today, I was swimming at the water park, when out of nowhere a lifeguard bombed into the pool, grabbed me, and hauled me to the surface, running his hands over my chest in the process. Apparently, the way I swim makes it look like I'm in my drowning death throes. FML
Today, I was verbally and physically attacked in a public pool, because I was swimming in what a grandma claimed was her part of the pool. Since I'm a very tolerant person, I calmly tried to talk some reason into the elderly lady. The lifeguard had to come to protect me. FML
Today, I saved a young girl from drowning in a hotel pool with no lifeguards on duty. The girl's mother was too busy on her phone to notice what was happening, and when I called out to her, she started yelling at her daughter for going in too far. Never bothered to thank me for saving her kid either. FML
Today, I went to the pool. When I hit the water the top of my swimsuit came off so I tried to put it on underwater. The lifeguard thought I was drowning and pulled me out in front of everyone. Topless. FML
Today, I was teaching swim lessons. I got felt up by a 6 year-old boy. Three times. FML
Today, I was lifeguarding at a community pool when I noticed a toddler go underwater. I quickly jumped in but suddenly got a cramp, which caused me to stall. When I looked up, I saw an old woman saving him, and got a shoe thrown at my head. I was fired. FML

This is why we can't have a nice, cooperative society, why people refuse to care about kids who aren't their own and why said kids grow up with this ass backwards sense of entitlement and invincibility. Ugh. pisses me off.

Apparently now a days if you rescue help a child you're considered a pedophile or something. This is friggin a tragedy bits of society have become paranoid

And lo betide the unlucky child who could have been saved from drowning, but people were just too scared of over protective mothers to do anything.

Then again, if she was so overprotective, she would have noticed her kid drowning. Probably too distracted on her phone texting to notice.

You can go home knowing you saved a child's life so that's something to account for. You did the right thing, OP. Moms are just crazy as a bat out of hell.

Slap her in the face right back. He was drowning.

If you're a lifeguard, FYL. If you're not, then I can see how the thrashing around in the water could be misinterpreted. Not YDI material though.

Well, it's also possible that she didn't even realize her son was in danger and OP didn't explain (or didn't have time to explain) to her what was going on. She jumped to the closest conclusion around. I had a similar thing happen, but thankfully, it was pretty obvious what was going on since this was a big wave and the child was small enough. The parents immediately saw that I was saving their kid and didn't accuse me.

Maybe she wanted her kid to drown. Some parents can be really ****** up.
