Today, at my job as a sailing instructor, I had to stop kids from getting their asses sucked by a pool filter. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I got chewed out by a parent for putting her kid underwater. I teach swim lessons. FML
Today, I was teaching swim lessons. I got felt up by a 6 year-old boy. Three times. FML
Today, at my job as a lifeguard, the kids in the pool decided to start a new game. The game involved spreading out to different parts of the pool and pretending to be drowning at the same time. Whoever was "saved" first, won. FML
Today, I was working my lifeguard job when I had to remind a 17 year-old boy that water is clear and that I could see him pulling his trunks down to moon his friends. Kind of want to drown myself now. FML
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, while life-guarding, I had to explain to teenage boys that shoving objects up each others' butts and complaining that someone was giving them anal was inappropriate at a family facility in front of kids under the age of 10. FML
Today, I got a concussion while teaching a kid how to be a safe and cautious swimmer. FML
Today, while working as a lifeguard, a kid took a dump in the pool. When I told everyone to clear the pool so we could clean it, another kid promptly stared at me, stood at the shallow end right where I was standing, pulled down his trunks, and peed on my feet. FML
Today, a kid I taught to swim became my new boss, at the pool that I have worked at for nine years. FML
Today, I was fired because a patron complained that she didn't like the way I kept staring at her kids. I was a lifeguard. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

There are things id expect to see. And then there's this.

That's actually super dangerous, even with the special regulated drain covers that should be in place in large pools. Good thing you had some sense OP, whereas these kids obviously did not!

If that was a public pool and didn't have two main drains in the bottom of the pool they are in violation of state law. Call the Health Department of whatever county you live in for a code violation. That pool should be CLOSED until it's fixed. And yes, I do realize that would put you out of a job, but a child's death on your conscience would be worse.

I know how you feel OP, I've had some very stupid kids to instruct as well. Money can't buy brains.
