Ds has swimming lessons on a Saturday morning. There are various classes on at the same time so when the lessons finish there are about 35 kids all needing to use the 8 communal and 2 cubicled showers.
As I was waiting for DS to come out I heard raised voices and saw an altercation going on between a mum I vaguely know (her DD used to be in DS's class at his old school) and another mum who I don't know. The mum I don't know was basically standing in front of one of the shower cubicles refusing to move or let anyone else in as she was saving it for her daughter. Meanwhile the mum who I know a little bit had her younger Ds standing shivering needing to get in the shower but the woman refused to move and let him use it even though her daughter had not yet left the pool. The mum blocking the door got really nasty and was threatening to hit the other mum saying she can stand where she wants and no-one had the right to tell her to move.
I told one of the staff what was going on and the mum being threatened also went to the manager but nothing was done. I didn't want to step in (unless I had to) because I am there every week and sometimes that peaceful half hour is the only time I get all day to study (I am a mature student)and I don't want to have to watch my back every week. However, if I had been in that situation I think I would maybe have liked someone to stand up for me.
Was I wrong to not say anything to this awful woman?
