Tyranny
Today, while teaching swimming to a bunch of five year-olds, one particularly bratty girl decided she didn't want to swim and led the entire class to strike, leaving the pool empty, and me without a job. Apparently I was teaching the next world tyrant to swim. FML

Today, I had to go take swimming lessons because my mom has a fear I'll drown and I'm totally afraid of swimming anyway and never get anywhere near water. My instructor? A high school classmate of mine. My fellow swimming classmates? 5 and 6 year old kids. FML

Today, I found out that a co-worker of mine that I had originally hired, trained, and mentored to work in my department for the past 4 years had just got the promotion that I had applied for. He is now my boss. FML

Today, while working my job as a swim instructor, my coworker sprayed me with the hose. I instinctively held up what I was holding to block the cold water. I was holding a 4 year-old. FML

Today, I went into a job interview for Quizno's. The boss there talked to me for an hour and half about everything on God's green earth. She noticed I was a certified swim instructor. I left Quizno's with no job, but with an appointment to teach the boss how to swim tomorrow at 9 a.m. FML

If you had learned to drown properly you wouldn't be in this situation.

You might be the best swimmer or teacher, but he might be a better leader.

Becoming a boss involves more skills then just being older, bro.

He is upset because he has more experience, bro.

More experience in learning kids how to swim =/= more experience in how to run a business, like a swimming pool.

What's up with all the pool/lifeguard FMLs?
evilplatypus 39
It's that time of year. Summer's approaching fast, pools are opening up, dumbasses are learning to swim. I'd be mildly confused if we got a flood of these types of FMLs in February.

I wouldn't. It's Summer for us in February :3
