Do I have the right to be mad?

I do all my swims at the school's pool. Generally I am the only person there, but latley I've talked a group of my friends to join me, so now it's regular group of 4 people. Anyway, the life gaurds are volunteers and you can tell they don't want to be there.

Anyone that reads my blogs will know where I'm going....

Our pool is a 25 yard pool with 5 lanes. They have two lanes, a lane marker, then three lanes, dividing the pool into areas for those wanting to do laps and the larger area for those who just want to screw around.

Today the four of us get there and start swimming. Chris and I hop in the lap lanes and start swimming while Kelly and Sarah start in the other side. Five minutes later, 20 people come pouring out of the locker rooms and jump in the large section. Appearently the track team decided to do pool running today. I was a bit ticked, but still okay. They could have reserved the pool for themselves, as would be practicle when taking up the ENTIRE pool. So now five of us are sharing 2 lanes, which isn't optimal but isn't bad. Especially since I'm just doing 50 yrd intervals for now. So I get through my 50 yard intervals and start on my 100 yrd sets when this huge guy cannonballs into the pool, almost landing on top of Kelly. She makes a mini-fuss about it and all he does is say, "oh...sorry" then starts laughing as his five other friends do the same thing. I keep swimming and on my way back notice someone passing exceedingly close to me on the left (where the lane marker is). I think I'm just close to the marker and it's somebody over there. I get to the end of the lap and turn to look, and guess what. It was one of those idiots swimming to the shallow end between me and the lane marker..... Make sense to you?

I'm starting to get a little pissed at this point, so I take off again. I reach the other end of the pool and run into a kid. I stop, look at him and say "excuse me, I'm trying to swim laps here." He just looks at me and says "so what, I'm playing foot ball, watch where you're going." So I turn around and swim back (FYI that was my fastest 25 yrd split). I decide to try one more 100 yrd set and both laps I end up dodging people that just don't care. On the last leg I even get pegged with the football!

Now the thing is, the pool rules are posted in at least 2 places and in LARGE RED LETTERS it is written: NO BALLS OR HORSEPLAY ALLOWED IN THE POOL. The entire time I am there, the life guard AND two track coaches are just sitting there watching this going on and laughing about it. After getting pegged with the foot ball, I just got out, grabbed my towel and left, visibly pissed. As I walked past the life guard, I heard him comment to the track coach, "what's his problem."

What the hell is wrong with people???
