:lol:
Can relate to many of those!

Funniest imo, going for a swim without tail and forgetting how to do it :rotfl:

Annoying ones; chlorine, transporting larger flukes (competitor sized, ack!),
and people who walk up to you during performance asking where you bought your tail.
And winter, of course :(

LOL!!! I love the last one! "Babe, this isn't going to work." Hahaha

I laughed too hard apparently. That was so cute. my issue is that one kid lol

One that gets me is my dry gigs when my fat rolls come out of nowhere and spill over the top of my tail. I know I need to work out, but come on!

Had all of these, and of course the obligitoray guy following you to make "fish out of water, " "cold fish," "b or c shells" "jokes.

Yeah, the kid that things its his job to debunk you to the world sort of makes me annoyed.

And I agree with cal tuna. Those adults that want you to break the illusion for them in front of kids. I usually do a whole wide eyed "I was born with mine!" Then add, "But I hear that __________(company) makes pretty good tails." Or I just refer them to mernetwork. :-S

"The one kid who insists you aren't real and insists on following you around proclaiming this loudly."
There's always that one smart ass kid. Can't stand that.
"The adults who walk right in front of kids when you're in character to ask what your tail is made of and where you bought it."
Yep. Happens all the time.
"Chasing down clients who are being difficult about paying (to be fair, this happens to most performers)"
Pisses me off.
