Today, while lifeguarding at my local beach, I noticed someone having difficulty swimming back to shore. I ran out and swam him back to shore. Once we were on dry land, he cussed me out for "emasculating" him in front of his girlfriend. FML

Hey guys, it was a pretty rough day so I wasn't surprised at least one person encountered trouble, and he didn't speak a word whilst he was gripped tightly to the flotation device. Once on shore I asked him if he was alright and instructed him how not to get caught in another rip current. He promptly to me to "f off" and that he didn't need help. At that point his girlfriend ran up to ask if he was hurt, and everything went downhill from there. I appreciate the sympathy, but it would be a little irresponsible of me to let the man die :)

Better yet, you could take him back out to where he was drowning.

OP should look on the bright side, the guy is in line for the next Darwin Award..."Oh no I'm drowning...but there might be witnesses so I can't tell anyone..."

Know how you feel OP people do that to me at my beach too. I just tell them "you're welcome."

Well if he can't swim he shouldn't have been showing off.

What I am wondering is how you show off by swimming? Ya I can swim like a million other people.

People do that, believe it or not, especially the sort whose attempts at showing off backfire when they get caught in the tide, and then yell at the guy who saved them.

Clearly you were just trying to steal his girlfriend. We see through your clever ruse.

But he didn't say anything the whole way to the shore? If he was really that embarrassed, you'd think he'd say something when the life guard grabbed him.

He wanted to make sure the lifeguard didn't throw him back in.

Wouldn't have been very masculine if he drowned, now would it? He should have been thankful.

I couldn't agree more, but life is full of assholes. I just wish there were more people like #51 that just say "you're welcome" :)

Next time you should let him drown. Then his girlfriend will see how manly he is.

Take him into the water and leave him there

No, don't, cause then if he makes it out of there, he'd charge OP with an attempted murder...

You can always give him another chance to show off, just throw him back in.
