You know what’s been annoying me lately?

People who don’t swim freestyle at the gym pool.  You can easily spot these people because they’re the same one who are either lounging around chitchatting, playing in the water doggy paddling or some other shit, swimming a crooked backstroke and crashing into everybody, or taking up an entire lane to themselves with the butterfly or the breaststroke.  Hello?  Asshole?  There’s only 3 lanes for 10 swimmers here.  How ‘bout you NOT be an idiot and share the lane?  Wanna practice your Olympic form Fly?  Go join the Rose Bowl and pay for your own fucking personal lane.  People are trying to work out here.

Also, WTF is it with Asians and the breaststroke?  For the older generation especially, it’s like the only goddamn stroke they seem to know.  Almost invariably, the older Asian man with the ass slow breaststroke will decide to hop in a lane with 3 freestylers who have been harmoniously swimming circles for the past 1000m and completely fuck up our rhythm.  God that pisses me off.  They should just outlaw this slow as fuck, lane hogging stroke when there are more than 2 people per lane.

Before you say anything, *of course* I understand that everybody’s a paying customer, and that people should have the right to use the pool as they please.  That’s why I never actually complain to these people.  I just bottle it up and let it stew.  It’s healthier that way.
