Drama in la-la-land...

Recommended Posts

Can't stop laughing... My boyfriend is a lifeguard for one of the most expensive appartment buildings in Monaco... He just sent me a text telling me he had an unexpected couple of days off whilst the pool was being cleaned...

Because some of the residents threw human feces from their balconies into the pool to protest about the reopening of said pool for the summer!!!! :D:D:D

Ah ha ha ha ha!!! Guess being filthy rich doesn't necessarily make you civilised!!! :ph34r::ph34r:

***So why do some residents have issues with the pool being open?:S



Noise probably..... not to mention the possibility of the lower class being drawn to poolside.

Meh . . . either way there's nothing but floaters in the pool. "Lower class" in Monaco? Seriously? I doubt the servants are going to be swimming there. We're still talking about 1% tourists at worst.

Disgusting. I can't even put myself in the mindset of being able to pick up my own poo, carry it to a balcony and throw it somewhere. Sure, I've changed my share of diapers and I pick up my dogs shit twice a day, but to me that's altogether different. What is wrong with people? :S

Did he actually text 'human feces' or shit?



Yep, human poop.

And it's a highly secure and private appartment building for the uber rich. It wasn't a tourist, as only residents have access to the pool...

I wouldn't know... But from some of the stories I hear from my boyfriend, some of these people have a very distorted view of reality...

An example: one resident asked my boyfriend's counterpart (ie: the other lifeguard) to inflate a raft for their kids... He initially politely refused because it was big and there was no pump... She insisted, so he blew into it and blew into it and blew into it... For about half an hour... Not only did the kids not play with it, but at the end, the lady insisted on giving him a "big tip" for his efforts. Fifty cents. Yep. Half of a euro. You couldn't even buy a breath-mint for that. We never did work out if she was deliberately being offensive, or if she really thought a "poor person" (ie: working-class) would actually appreciate that kind of money, or whether she had no idea whatsoever that fifty cents was about as worthless as an already chewed piece of gum... Hmmm...

I know people like that... there are some incredibly well to do people at MS.. that expect the world handed to them on a platter while their egos are being continuously stroked in every meeting but still quibble at paying any of the help a livable wage. A couple of them were in the vanguard of sending thousands of jobs to India and China for pennies on the dollar.
