Today, while at work I tripped and fell in the pool while moving a waste basket. I nearly drowned and had to be saved. I don't know which is worse the fact that I nearly drowned or the fact that I'm a lifeguard. FML

If you knew you couldn't swim then why are you a lifeguard?

actually lifeguards are supposed to save other people... how can he save himself if he needs cpr or something. if he hit his head or hurt himself its understandable but if he just couldn't swim then he needs a new job or lessons.

#91, one doesn't need to be able to swim to guard people against lice. All it really involves is a special shampoo and maybe a special comb; you don't even have to shave peoples' heads anymore!

This guy doesn't know how to write an FML. "I din't know which is worse" totally doesn't fit here.

How does it not fit? All that's missing is a comma.

0 0
NeatNit 32

It doesn't fit because it means that he hates being a lifeguard, completely seperately from nearly drowning. Instead of the whole last sentence, a simple "I'm a lifeguard" would have worked better.

the better question is, how did he even get the JOB if he couldn't swim. I think every1 is assuming he can't swim but u can simply start panicking or sumthin and start drowning. I think op CAN swim

I really think you're being too hard on yourself, OP. You tripped and fell into a pool and probably panicked. Accidentally going into any body of water and deliberately jumping into it to save someone are two entirely different things. Anyone could lose their heads in a situation like this.
