Swimming pool cheeky fuckers

Last week the DC and I were at a holiday park, and on Friday they went swimming for the 100th time. Massive pool, plenty of place for parents to sit and watch. I parked my chair at the back and sat down. After a while a family walked in. The man looked around, looked at me, took a chair and parked it right in front of me! Like literally almost touching my knees! So I got up and moved to the right. He then got up and took off his shirt to go swim. His back was covered in huge white spots/boils. This is still OK, but he then stood on the pool edge, reached around and started squeezing one of the spots. Yuck. Then walked around the pool while rubbing his chest and nipples. The wife then sat in his chair, and the teenage girl (wearing fur coat and Uggs poolside) looked around and, giving me a dirty look, put her chair right in front of me, around 2m from the wife's chair. I sighed heavily and move all the way to the left. Cue filthy looks from the wife and teenager. Man got out of the pool, pulled up a chair and parked it - you can probably guess - right in front of me - again! It's so hard to believe there are such nasty, rude people in the world.

WIBU to then move all the way to the right, and tell the two ladies sitting there loud enough for CFs to hear that I'm going to sit next to them, and explaining why, while pointing at the CFs. FFS - can't people think for themselves?

Oooh, manky pool mad is a vile twat!

Have to say if I get space invaders (not the crisps) at a till, myself or DH tend to drop a rancid fart (we're a windy family).
Then look disgustedly at said space invaders whilst coughing politely.

I also hate queue space invaders. I thought led one bloke that if he got any closer we'd have to get married! He moved quite quickly Wink

YANBU. My mum taught how to deal with space invaders (not the crisps) - say ‘don’t get too close, I have a nasty infection’ and just start scratching, coughing, and smack your lips a lot. If that doesn’t work- ‘You’re too close, I was here first, please move. You won’t like me when I’m angry’ make sure you cross your eyes on the word angry 😡

I have quite long,thick hair. Works wonderfully with space invaders. A good flick usually works.

I read on here before, an mner was in a queue when a space invader stood behind her, after much invading of space she turned round and said loudly “the last person that got this close to my arse bought me dinner first” space invader went bright red.

Some excellent tactics for dealing with space invaders! Though sorry for slightly derailing the thread with my queue related pet peeves OP.

I went to a dog show yesterday, picked a spot near the fence (as everybody does at this venue) and set up my gazebo. Some twat comes and starts to set theirs up right in front of mine, despite there being space for about another 100 gazebos around the field. They got the shift pretty damned quickly.

I always face the person behind me in a snaking queue. Works like magic.

It's all good Madcatter Grin. In a thread like this everyone can blow off steam.
