That awkward moment when you go swimming at the national park and theres a huge family drinking in the river who have completely ignored the sign about taking glass down into the park from the picnic area.
The even more awkward moment when they start to hit on you and act really inappropriately and won't stop pointing and snickering and trying to get you to go over so they can "touch" it.
As I left one of them was yelling at me to come back so he could have my tail. I was so tempted to yell back that he was too fat and wouldn't fit into it -_-
I think the worse thing was they were doing this in front of their little kids who are going to pick up on and mimic the behaviour.
TAMW you go to mermaid school with your fancy lunocet monofin, and you rip a big hole in your tail.
That's awful, Sarina!
And ouch, Storm!
Stay classy Townsville :rolleyes:Quote:

I've been having some really weird moments lately!
That awkward moment when a boy wants to race you but he is on the swim team, and you have never been on a swim team and don't get to swim often. I sure was relieved when I finished first. Thank youuuuu monofin!
TAMW a creepy old guy starts swimming in your lane. And you change to another empty lane. But he follows you. So you change lanes again. But he keeps switching lanes to be with you.
TAMW you're just about to report him to the lifeguard and when you open your mouth to say something, the lifeguard greets creepy old guy with a wave and hello, and then you recognise him at last...
He is one of the swim teachers. He wanted to see up close how I did the dolphin kick. Idiot should've asked instead of following me around!! All I see in the distance, with my bad eyesight and prescription goggles, some old guy keeps following me around! GAH!
Oof, Jaffa. That is awkward!
Also, Sarina and Alea. The giggling fit I just had. I blame you.
UPDATE:
TAMW you're hiking on with some people from your living area, and see some other students from your college (different living area) and greet them. you recognize two of the people and can't figure out who they are until
Guy 1: Are you savannah?
Me: ...yes?
Guy 1: your photo is on our wall!
Guy 2: hey I was that guy poking his head outside of his room when you went to add the triton photo to his door
.....oh that's how I know you... and guy 1 was #datethemermaid guys roommate
Pffffft! Lol. Your luck, Sirenia, makes the entirety of MerNetwork funnier.
All good Sabrina! I'm glad it made you laugh :)Quote:

And then you notice the lifeguard is staring at you, half standing in her chair, life preserver hefted.
She'd been just about to jump in after me! Whoops. Didn't mean to scare her.
Yeah, I'm not even allowed to hold my breath for a 25m lap of the pool where I live. I have to take at least one breath on the way, and there's no chilling out at the bottom breath-holding allowed. :( Talk to your guards, let them know your experience, and if you mermaid professionally, and offer to show them some of your tricks so they know what it looks like when you're doing your thing and what would be an indication you're in trouble.Quote:

I also love doing the dead fish trick, where I dive to the bottom, turn around and float up facing the surface.
TAMW one finally gets to use the skills one has been practicing all along, when the boys don't put the lane ropes back in, and there is "open swimming" in the other 25m half of the pool. And its so crowded. So am dodging and turning and barrel rolling along to avoid crashing in other swimmers and side jumpers. What a workout!!!
That awkward moment when your old gym membership gets to expensive and you have to move to a new pool, but the new pool only goes from 3ft to 4ft 6in and your old one had two pools: one 3ft to 8ft and one 3ft all the way. [emoji17] And just when you were getting confident enough to swim freely in the deep end. But, hey, at least I still get to go to the pool, right?

TAMW you've been working on your tail and want to take work in progress photo, so you wiggle into it... Only to realise your phone is on the other side of the apartment, and now you don't have feet. Hop, hop, hop...
Haha! Same!

TAMW you have finally convinced a group of children that you are a real mermaid at the pool, but you need to leave the pool before they do, so you have your Marine friend (no pun intended lol) toss you over his shoulder to carry you out of sight.

That awkward moment when you are at a new gym asking about fins in the pool and you realize that it's come to that time: "So...do you allow mermaid tails?" And he's like "Umm... I have never heard of that before. Sure, I guess, just don't drown." And you nearly die of happiness!

That's pretty much how I approached the aquatic center, the week after MerFest 2015.Quote:

Now merfolk rule the pool! ;)
