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 :)

Maybe he should work out more then. Totally his fault. Rip his manly pride from his chest :)

So he tells you to **** off once on solid ground, huh? You should've told him if was truly a man he would've said that to you in the ocean before allowing you to save him.

He'd rather die than be helped. Great sense of priorities.

No, he'd rather die than be SEEN to be helped. There's probably some weird species propagation logic deep in the brain that explains this.

Drowning would be a terrifying alternative vs having a lifeguard save you.

I would have asked him would you rather have drowned as a REAL man?!

"It's not my fault you swim like a little bitch," would be the words out of my mouth.

You should've told him, "Actually, death is far more emasculating, dumb arse. So you're welcome." What a jerk.

You can emasculate me as much as you like if it saves my life. I like being alive.

Props to you OP for helping him even though he was rude & ungrateful.
