'I will throw him in the pool tomorrow at 1. If something happens to him you are responsible': Rude entitled Aunty demands free swimming lessons for her son

One mom did not hold back while demanding swimming lessons for her son - for free. This text exchange is between an "Aunty," and a swim tutor. For some time, the swim teacher had been giving free swim lessons to kids, even when offered money, just to be nice. But some people are so entitled that they'll ruin a good thing! This Aunty demanded that the teacher bend over backwards to accommodate her "anxious" son. By anxious, she means he doesn't like to be around other kids. She also demands to change the time so that the water will be warmer, and even scolds the babysitter for the crime of…replying several minutes later to a text message. 

In my opinion, the swim teacher is way too nice here, she is very polite throughout the entire exchange. The entitled Aunty, however, is completely out of her mind. She doesn't even attempt to be gracious or thankful for the FREE swim services the teacher is offering. 

Check out this infuriating text convo below. After that, the commenters gave the swim instructor great advice for how to humiliate the entitled Aunty in front of the other parents. I'd love an update to know if the teacher did get any other parents involved. 

After that, check out these interesting "pointless" stories of people's odd day-to-day fails.

    Font - Give me one good reason to tell him. Else, he is gonna cry. 12:08 1. I am not teaching today. 2. I already cancelled. I can't un-cancel with everyone this late. that's even better. You can teach him alone. those brats got free classes for a month. you need to make up for that with my son. 12:12 why not? he has anxiety issues. you have to teach him alone. What? 12:13 I can't teach just for your son. 12:13 12:13 12:11 I am not a certified trainer. I don't want to be responsible for the safe

    Font - when I say anxiety, Ili don't mean like that. he just doesn't like other kids. just teach him exclusively for one month. after that, you can put him with everyone. they got more classes than him. it is not fair. so you start teaching him from tomorrow. at 1. it is better to be out of the pool by 3. that way no one gets sick. also, he doesn't have goggle. bring a extra pair tomorrow or let him use yours until i buy one. wow. you are such a selfish b. he is just a kid. don't you have any he

    Commenters sounded off, widely condemning the Aunty and suggesting ways the swim tutor could work with other parents to confront her.

    Font - Minerva_Moon Please don't take on this client. If she is willing to be this rude trying to get her son into class, imagine how it will be with him in it. She will be water side looking over your shoulder every second. She will come up to you after every class and state that you didn't give her son equal time and demand you stay later. If her son looks to be struggling she will demand your attention be placed on him instead of the other"brats".

    Font - flnativegirl This is the kind of woman that probably threatens legal action pretty frequently so that would be my worry for OP. And off topic but I need to know if she's sporting the "let me speak to the manager" haircut.

    Font - Touch You should totally forward this to the person that gave her your number. So she can't lie and complain to the other parents about you. And so that you can use this to ask all the parents that if they wish to forward someone to you, that they cannot give out your number, but can give you the number of the person instead. MyAwesomel

    Font - pretent_its_witty OP She is a very sweet stay at home mom in my apartment complex. She asked me if I can teach her son when she saw that I swim often. Then she said some other moms were also interested. Poor lady was so guilty and she kept apologising and offering to pay also. I told her to give my number to anyone in the complex who were interested. I personally know all the moms of the kids and they know about me. If this idiot bad mouths me, they d throw her out of the complex probably

    Font - Sec Henry_Paulson A better response might be to forward this conversation to all the other parents of the swim class, saying that this person is requesting that swim classes now be paid, and that this parent should get the money, and asking everyone whether they would want to start paying for swim classes to support this woman. See what all the other parents think about her grand scheme.
