I hate when people want something for nothing.

Melinda and I were working tonight and this lady comes in with her sons (grandsons? I can’t remember which it was).

She goes up to Melinda and tells her that the boy got a cut on his arm from the fence because he was scaling it (or running against it, or something of that nature).

Then she explains how he can’t go swimming because of it and wants to know what we were going to do about it.

What?

Your kid was stupid enough to get cut on the fence (which he had no reason to be touching to begin with) and you want to know what we are going to do about it?

She (she said he was upset about it, but it was more her than the kid) said the boy couldn’t go swimming now because of the cut. Melinda suggested putting plastic or tape over it. She said she wasn’t going to do that.

Basically, the lady wanted a free hour on the pedal cart to make it up to the boy because he couldn’t swim with the other kids (it’s a public pool and the water is ‘too dirty’. Nevermind the fact Dave shocks the crap out of that thing).

We gave it to her just to get her to go away, more or less. But it bugs me when people do that. It’s not our fault that the kid she was with got cut. He got bandaged up (I’m not sure if Rebekah did it or what) and if we just put something over the bandage he could have easily gone swimming…

She just wanted a free hour on the pedal carts.

Lame.
