@Newby: [1]Quit your bitching. [2]As if someone could drown in a two foot deep activity pool anyhow. And it's the long tube stick thingy that says GUARD on the front and is red. [3]A bigger threat would have been that I was wearing shoes which would make it hard to swim, but I didn't get yelled at for that. Nobody would have been injured at all because of my actions.
As for those who are making a living off it, they hold one job. I know this because they're friends of mine, go to my church, and we hang out outside of church/work on a regular basis. [4]They're 22, in college, live in an apartment co-owned by their younger brother (18, pre-lifeguard / slide attendant), and make by pretty well.
1. You're the one who started bitching in the first place.
2. It could happen. What if they bonk their head on the exit and become unconscious?
3. Why would you do such a thing? You're in charge of
lives, Joe. Stupid shit like that could cost you a life. How could you live with yourself?
4. So there are multiple people paying for the apartment? That's more than one person on minimum wage paying for an apartment. If it was just him paying for it, he wouldn't be able to afford to waste time outside of work and school to do anything, especially hang out with you. I don't know how pricing for apartments/housing is out there, but damnit, you couldn't live on $8/hr if you tried.
Is this "they" plural or singular? You act as if multiple people do it, but your description leads me to believe only one does. And if he's in college, I doubt he has any money left over if he's paying for an apartment and school shit. I bet he takes his job seriously. He can't lose it.
