No Judgment, Just Facts

Well, I’m sure to offend half the population with this post. I am not judging anyone. Just telling my tale.

I finally got to go back to the pool yesterday. It was great. I am forgetting (not forgiving) the CDC’s Nazi commands that 68 year olds couldn’t get in before that date. I’ll probably forget this time of life like I do a lot of stuff. I’ll pray on that forgiving business later.

Anyway.

There was just one guy in the place who stayed well away from me. Which was fine. Social Distancing junk, you know.

At the end of his swim, he tossed the swim noodle toward the pool accessory storage unit. The top shelf is always piled high with thirty or forty noodles. As the noodle hit and missed the goal, another noodle was knocked to the floor. Surprise, surprise.

He strode out of the pool and straight to the locker room without placing the noodles where they belonged. Surprise, Surprise. NOT!

It probably didn’t help the situation that I laughed out loud when he missed.

Anyway.

In all my time at the pool, I have NEVER seen a woman try to replace the noodle she used by throwing it. I have never seen a woman fail to pick up her noodle and other pool exercise equipment and return them properly.

In all my time at the pool, I have only seen men try to throw their noodles into place. (Do not respond to this comment.)

I have only seen men leave their equipment on the pool deck rather than picking up after themselves. (No comment here either.)

Just a fact.

Their mamas must not have taught them the Golden Rule part B which is “Pick up after your own sweet selves!!!”

Blessings
