I ended up visiting the recreation center swimming pool on a pretty bad day. It was raining on and off, and it was kind of windy, but the pools were heated and the opportunity to do some laps while the pool was empty could not be ignored. It is worth noting that the pool tends to have high school students run their desks, one of the few jobs they can find and easily get.
On this day, the desk was run by one such student, and she was in tears when I walked in.
She had been cornered by an angry member who was yelling at her about the weather. She was screaming about how the [Review Site] pictures showed the property sunny and bright, not giving the employee time to get a word in as she chained insults, demands, and delusions together in a long and uninterrupted string.
I ended up stepping between them, which shocked the woman and caused her to stop yelling.
Me: To the employee “Hi! I’d like to get into the basketball court, please.”
Woman: “Excuse me?! I was—”
Me: To the woman “Shh!”
The woman looked shocked.
Me: To the employee “Can you please check if anyone is using it?”
Employee: “Yeah, yeah, I can check on that for you.”
Me: Whispering “Run away.”
The employee nodded at me and disappeared. She apparently went straight to the back (admittedly quite a distance) because the person who returned was a very unhappy adult.
Woman: “Finally! This boy rudely—”
Functional Adult: “OUT! Get out!”
Woman: “Excuse me?!”
Functional Adult: “If you don’t get the f*** out of my lobby, both of us are going to be leaving in f****** handcuffs, and you will not set foot in another f****** rec center again, you colossal f****** c***!”
The woman was stunned into silence, but the employee pulled his badge off and threw it on the floor along with his clipboard.
Functional Adult: “You’re going outside one way or anothe
