As a former swimming pool lifeguard while in college I had to learn to deal with difficult people. It was a tossup as to whether the drunks or the inattentive mothers of small children were a bigger problem. I had to keep an unwavering eye on their tykes and pull them out when they kept wandering into deep water to drown while their mothers dozed in the sun.

You could not pay me enough to work that pool gatekeeper's job.

Yes, some TOTV members comprise a rough crowd.
