[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]+1 for the rude security lady.

DC was doing a time trial which required you to bring your own timer. She wouldn’t let me on deck to time. She was not “familiar” and knew nothing about it, so wouldn’t let me in.[/quote]

I think most who have volunteered know who this lady is.  But, I give her a little grace and just try to minimize my interactions with her and do what I need to do.  On the flip side of this coin, she's probably had to evolve to this posture over years of dealing with countless number of entitled swim parents who think their situation/circumstance is special/different and won't take "no" for an answer - so she's built up this front to shut all that down from the get-go.  I think she's probably the right person for this job -- maybe not what you would want but what we all need.  I know this is a minority/unpopular opinion but I for one, thank her for doing a tough/thankless job.

I just read this thread’s comments to my tween and she just rolled her eyes and said, “It’s the entitled parents who think their kids and situation are special: Welcome to northern Virginia.” Out of the mouth of babes. We love this lady and have made her thank you notes every time we swim at Maryland. My tween loves hanging out with her and made a good point: “What if the WRONG person enters the deck? How would parents feel then?” [/quote]

Sorry, but there is 0% chance that this is true.[/quote]

Absolutely. Her tween got home from school and they sat down to read almost 100 comments from this weekend’s swim meet on dcum. That’s what I call good old fashioned family bonding. [/quote]

Or…or…we were sitting at an appt and I told her how crazy this was and she said, “I love that lady!” So I showed her 8-10 of the messages about the lady (mostly pages 7-9). And my very astute oldest child made the statements she did because she thinks for herself and has lived places other than here for comparison. [/quote]
