Why’s a lifeguard got to know how to swim?

Working in a call center really shows The lvl of stupid in the world. i thought food service was bad when it came to the stupid factor. but everyday I see new lvls of stupid. The call center I work in provides a variety of different certifications for both personal and professional uses. Such as CPR and lifeguarding. I get moms calling all the time for their grown ass kids… we’re talking college kids 18 n up. asking why little Johnny didn’t pass his certification test or why is it expired. begging for an exception because Johnny has had a hard time or he forgot so it isn’t his fault. but my new favorite was the call I got a few days ago.
