“I Teach Swimming To Kids For Free. Mom Demands That I Teach Her Son Exclusively And Give Her The Money”
When you’re a kind enough person to volunteer your own time to help kids learn to swim, the least you should expect is a little gratitude. However, there is a certain kind of mean person out there that can’t appreciate kindness for what it is, choosing to see it as a weakness to be exploited instead.
This swimming instructor from Southern India shared the shocking exchange that she had with a single mom, who appears to be just this type of entitled brat, and people can’t believe the sheer ungratefulness of it all. Making demands for swimming lessons straight off the bat, the mom immediately rings alarm bells. I mean, what better way to endear yourself to somebody you’d like to do you a favor than harass them to ‘reply faster?’ (Facebook cover image: istockphoto / Orbon Alija)

The teacher offering free swimming lessons, Reddit user u/pretent_its_witty, refers to the single mom as ‘Aunty.’ This is a common thing to do in India, as a way to show respect to people who are older than you. “She didn’t tell me what her name was, and I was in office, so I just saved it in a hurry,” she explained. “Usually, I’d save it as Aunty X or Uncle Y. This is not some common customer. I was going to see her kid at least twice a week at the swimming pool (when I agreed in the beginning). And I need to save the number of guardians of kids I am teaching.”
What becomes abundantly clear however is that this mom did not deserve a shred of the poor teacher’s respect. From demands to threats to childish insults, she tried every trick in the book to bully and manipulate the teacher into giving her exactly what she wanted. Don’t believe us? Scroll down below to check just how rude people can be, and let us know what you think in the comments!
Here’s what people had to say about the shocking exchange

Share on FacebookI really hate women like this. I'm a single mom and I don't beg for anything. People like her give single mothers a bad name. Well, at least I understand why she is a SINGLE mom smh..
She doesn't beg either, she demands. That's about as bad as you can get.
Load More Replies...The conversation should have ended after the accusation of rudeness for not replying instantly to a private chat during normal office hours. The person on the left is either a sociopath or severely mentally ill, or probably both. Impressive how the instructor could stay so calm.
He probably learned to stay calm while dealing with kids and she looks like just another entitled kid having a tantrum :D
Load More Replies...I would have reported her for child endangerment! She literally said she would throw her child (who cannot swim) into a pool and blame whatever happens next on the trainer. Whether she meant it or not, that type of behavior is insane.
well, if things happens she would be the got dragged by the cops and probably sent to mental hospital afterwards
Load More Replies...If the poor kid has anxiety issues he most likely has them from living with that woman!
We bought new kitchen appliances to remodel our kitchen. I put our not very old stove out for bulk pickup with a free and working perfectly well sign on it. Not even a couples of hours before this lady knocked on our door. She asked why I'm giving it away, how would she be sure it works and if I could deliver it to her house? Yes it really happens.
Reminds me of the post that's trending on here, about the guy who wanted a free table for his new house that he and his new wife just moved into. Crazy jackass was demanding the person who was giving the table away bring it to them, five hours' drive away from where the owner of the table lived, and all this AFTER bitching about the table not having enough chairs (even though the table owner explained, very reasonably, that two of the chairs were thrown out because they were too worn to be used anymore.) Oh, and trying to convince the owner to give them his new table instead, because it had the number of chairs they wanted.
Load More Replies...Sounds like a trolling attempt. I refuse to believe such people actually exist.
I´m afraid for this kid. With a mother like that... She must be so stressed! She sounds like she needs help.
Yes me too..poor kid. I hope there will be someone who can take care of her/him better than the mom
Load More Replies...Unfortunately, there is no cure for stupidity. This demanding woman is a terminal case. I feel sorry for her son.
TL:DR For everyone crying fake, the world bigger than you, read the intros! If you had bothered to read the paragraph explaining the texts, you would have seen that this is happening in SOUTHERN INDIA. Not America. In India, it is a social norm to call people who are older than you or assumed to be older than you 'Aunty' or 'Uncle', similar to how here children address adults as Miss or Mister. Here, kids would call a teacher Miss Annie or Mrs. Brown, in India they would say Aunty Annie or Aunty Brown. They have different customs in different countries. People who don't live in the US have different ways of speaking and doing things. If you volunteer for any organization that interacts directly with the public or offers free services, people like this come out of the woodwork. If you personally have never dealt with someone like this, great for you. But they doesn't mean they don't exist. Weirdly, the world has way more people in it than just the ones you know.
How did she end up with a kid? She should have used her personality as birth control.
Load More Replies...I'm still trying to figure out... she gives free swim lessons. So, why does this woman think she's getting the money from these "rich b*tches?" Doesn't "free" = no money exchanging hands. Or did I miss something?
As I understood it, the instructor turned down money some of the parents had offered, so the psycho demanded that the instructor should accept it and then give it to her instead.
Load More Replies...Why did the swimming teacher even bother to keep up the conversation for so long?
Probably in an attempt to make the mother see some sort of logic or reasoning. Sometimes people choose to handle this sort of thing with calm discussion. But as seen in this post, even those people have a limit. The teacher's was clearly around the time she stopped replying altogether.
Load More Replies...Yeah just... take the kid from her already. Any "mother" who says they'd THROW THEIR CHILD INTO A POOL when they can't swim, does not deserve to have a child. Also then she can't whine about being a single mother anymore. Win-Win situation.
Honestly frightens me that some people are this crazy and entitled. I was selling a $10 lamp on Kijiji the other day and someone asked if I could do $5, I said I couldn't and she sent me a series of texts like this women did, saying I was materialistic, selfish and clearly hated my life and I was miserable, and then tried to make me feel sorry for her because her lamp broke and she would have to go 'lamp-less' like it's a f*****g lamp, you can make do if you don't have one!? If you were really that desperate you could fork over the $10 for a lamp! I just blocked her. Honestly don't understand how people can be this insane!?
Did you see that BP article about selling things online, and the buyers are trying to get the seller to come down on the price.
Load More Replies...I like how lady of the left acts like a total b***h but there are hundreds of thousands single mothers holding there own AND paying for there child to be taught how to swim, in fact, they probably teach their child their selves. Selfish b***h using here situation as a over bearing crutch instead of doing the right thing and either wait or get another person
Obvious why she's a single mom, men do not want to hang around . . . and kid will leave as soon as he can. I'd set the appointment for Child Services to be there when she throws in the kid. Maybe get some photos of her to post as a warning: don't get anywhere near this woman EVER!
This woman has serious issues and the child does not need to be living with her. Nobody is entitled to anything because they are a single parent as that is a choice. (Single parent raised two great kids by myself). I feel so sorry for the child and hope other stable family members are involved in his life.
Every time I read s**t like that I get the strong urge to hit someone. Preferably the dumb s**t who thinks the world resolves around them as soon as they say a word. But no, punching people outside of sports is against the law. Ffs what are these people thinking?
"Give me what I want or I'll intimidate and bully you- shaming you along the way" great way to justify your narcissistic self- centered "screw everyone but me-I'm the victim" mentality.
At all the people who think this is fake, it can be but if you knew at least something about Indian moms and their attitude that their kids are above everyone, you'll believe this.
Not to be rude, but that is coming off as a bit racist.
Load More Replies...Yikes... The whole way this conversation went was "Hey I see you r having a day off. That's great, now teach my son and pay me."
How dare you work a job when I am trying to get something from you! i would have stopped replying right there
This lady hasn’t been accosted but here we are banning a Christmas song older than most of us.
My mom-in-law was a single woman raising three boys AND teaching full-time. She never begged or demanded a thing from anyone else. If she wanted something...she worked to get it herself! And she gave selflessly to her own sons as well as her students on a daily basis. The best thing I can hope for with this woman is that her kid has a really damn good psychiatrist in the future to undo all the damage she's most likely heaping on him at the moment.
"I can't afford it. I am a single mom." Excuse you? There are plenty of single parents who manage to afford things for their kids. If she can't, maybe this cow should get off her lazy, entitled A*S and get a damn job. Also, I (sarcastically) like that she's getting pissy because the instructor took more than a couple minutes to respond, especially after already being told that she was at work at the time. Add to that the unreasonable demands and the fact she seriously said she would just toss her kid into the water and blame the teacher for him drowning....Jfc. The fact that there are people like that in this world makes me physically ill. Poor kid. I feel bad for him, having to grow up with such an absolute monster of a mother.
It's ignorant entitled people like that that make me want to punch people at times. I would have blocked the rude c**t
"I will throw him in the pool tomorrow at 1. If something happens to him you are responsible." WHO TF DOES THAT TO THEIR KID AND THEN BLAMES SOMEONE ELSE
...and it was exactly at 11:35 that the swim teacher knew this was gonna wind up on the internet....
I would print this out on a massive poster and tack it onto the outside of the building on the day she comes in. The Rec Center that I used to go swimming at was mostly run by young adults and they'd probably let me keep it up for longer LOL
I think the person asking for lessons is a troll or its a person that is just looking for reactions. The grammar of this mom drove me nuts! Plus, it just got worse and worse as she typed away about his son needing lessons. The lady (swim trainer), had way more patience than I would have had. I would have said something about her many ignorant s****y messages!! Like I said though, I think it was fake anyhow.
I wonder if the instructor can call authorities to report child endangerment.
Load More Replies...Did this woman reported this to the police? In my country if you say something like this your kids will me removed from you and you'll be under psychiatric observation.
I can believe it, I used to run a distribution point for a food bank. Burnt me out on charity Its too hot/cold/sunny/windy/cloudy, like could control the weather Why do I have to wait in line behind all the people that showed up before me? was a common complaint Can you bring it to my house, I dont want to come in case anyone recognises me, I dont want anyone to know I need help. was another I dont like this coffee (given to us for free by the church we used) why cant you buy Starbucks for us?
Reading this thread, I understand the two main points: the reason for her son anxieties (poor kid, by the way) and especially, especially: the many reasons for her celibacy!
This woman is clearly deeply mentally unstable. I'm really tired of reading about the horrible things people do to each other on Bored Panda
she said that the trainer have more flexible time than her. but from the conversation, looks like she got nothing to do except demands for impossible things while the trainer is working. so, i can bet that she's just a person with very very bad mental illness....
This poor volunteer was too polite for that woman. She should have told her to go f**k herself.
Unfortunately, I know a person like that. She is both entitled and a full-fledged conspiracy nut with a persecution complex. She can't hold on a job because she's very aggressive about her weird beliefs (aliens, magic, etc) and if you try to contradict her she'll burst into tears that you're oppressing her "freedom of thought". She also sends everyone on her contact list incoherent messages on whatsapp pretty similar to those in the above posting and lately she's been calling the cops to accuse random people of stealing from her and sue her relatives who (understandably) want to get her checked up by a psychiatrist and get custody of her children. Sad story. :/
This is the hardest thing about wanting to work with kids, especially kids in rough situations. Their parents can just be absolute entitled, ungrateful nightmares.
I don't know dude. I've worked in retail almost all my life and I've seen just about everything lol
Load More Replies...This has to be a joke. Has anyone confirmed this to be a massive troll job?
I think she has some mental illness problem,need to stay inside the swimming pool for 2 hours...it will ok after that..hehehe
I think it's possible that she is a swimming instructer too, and wasnt pleased with the way she teaches for free. Maybe she wanted to get on her nerves a bit.
I think She is suffering from some sort of Depression. She as a mother really need some help .
Actually, I feel really bad for her son, being brought up by this entitled cry baby who has absolutley no empathy or social graces.
OMG! i never comment on these things but this is outrageous! I was also a single mother, I appreciated every bit of help i got whether I had to pay for it or not! Unfortunately I have encountered individuals like this - very warped thinking process! Very sad! I think it is wonderful that you teach children to swim, I remember going to swimming lessons when I was a kid (in a lake too) - it was a wonderful experience and I was able to teach my son to swim when he was just a toddler. Focus on the people who have enough sense to appreciate you and keep on teaching!
I'm wondering how anyone with an attitude like that had kids to start with? I'm guessing IVF....
I pray this is fake but sadly I’m sure it’s not. How can someone be this vile and demanding and then absuive towards the person and then threatening their own child out of spite? This girl should have shut this s**t down after the first text - she was inpatient and clearly unhinged. Big fuckig whoop you’re a single mum- not the first and won’t be the last- you chose to have a kid so deal with it. I couldn’t buy things because I worked 3 jobs 7 days per week just to pay rent and basics for my child since the father was AWOL but never did I play the sympathy card to garner free things. I can’t believe this mother was lucky enough to find someone to teach swimming FOR FREE yet she wouldn’t be satisfied with that amazing generosity instead badgering this person for unreal expectations. Her kid has anxiety- no s**t- look at its parent ! She’s horrible and should not be allowed the privilege of being a parent. Dumb b***h ruins it for the others who’d be over the moon for this amazing gesture
I would love to meet her face to face and try and find out what makes her so stupid!
Ugh, this lady is SO RUDE! I can't believe people like this even exist. No wonder she's a single mom.
Unbelievable, I feel bad for the child, his mother must drive him crazy, and why does't he like other kids, she simply said that thinking she will then get private lessons, at age eighteen if he has what it takes he will leave his crazy mother, if he lasts that long !!!
Money doesn't solve everything. Some people do things simply out of the goodness of their heart. It's not their job to do what they offer so, they don't have schedules or shifts or prices, they have the freedom to set for themselves when they want to extend that kindness to others, and if they want anything in return. No one has to do anything for you, no matter what you demand. It's not called being a b***h; it's not a service they are providing you as a customer; it's her own business (no pun intended) and no one else who teaches, for how long, at what times, and what they offer in return. Unfortunately people feel the need to project how they feel about themselves onto others. What an entitled wretch making such demands, when the offer was FREE to begin with. My mother would have raced to the offer of free lessons for us in a heartbeat and worked flexibly with the teacher on that. Not much in this world is free and you have to be grateful AND gracious when taking offers like that.
If this were in the US i'd be thinking millenial Social Justice Worrier. (NOT misspelled, lol)
I have a hard time believing that ANYONE could really be that stupid and selfish. Threatening to throw her kid in the water, accusing a nice person, who teaches swimming for free, of being a b***h.... this is over the top. No wonder the guy split... she is a monster and she is going to turn that kid into a demanding selfish monster too.
first i was hoping this is some sort of troll because knowing there's a person like that existing and reproducing in the world, is just very sad. It makes me feel hopeless....! The teacher is so kind and nice! Id have blown up on her and tell her to f**k off. Poor boy will have to live with that monster of a mother for a long time. His life will be so damaged by her! Imagine what she does with his friends and teachers and everyone else around him.
There appears to be a modicum of a personality disorder involved with this woman's thinking processes.
She really should never have procreated. She has no place raising an impressionable human being. I would have just blocked the b***h after the first three messages.
That women is a f*cking son of B*TCH no not even a son of just a F*cking B*tch
Yeah, there's this function called "BLOCKING". Unless you're actually trying to go viral, there is absolutely no reason to put up with this kind of b******t.
In my opinion this article will stop some people from volunteering or charities because implies that when you do so youre going to be a victim of such weirdos. Reading comments i see that most assumes automatically that "people like that, what they think, they, they… " . In my opinion its weird, rare and absurdally unusuall. Im a swimming coach. I do use charity to learn kids empathy and sensitivity. For last 15 years or more theres never been anything else but appreciation and grattitude. Such demands never ever happened. If they did? I dont mind its entertaining that woman. Secondly that kid needs rescue. Id take him. Hesitation and calculating arent best advisors when you giving.
This requires the people of an entire country to rise and slow clap.
I feel like this person must be trolling because there's no way anyone can be so out of touch with reality.
What the **** is wrong with this kind of people... somebody gives free swimming lessons for kids who need it. Take it and be thankful, how rude! And those demands... This kind of persons make volunteers stop what they're doing.... What a shame!
Sounds to me like this lady's one diving board short of a pool, if you know what I mean.

Far out!! What a nasty woman. Feel so sorry for the teacher. I have no words, just mouth agape. Beg for money and free lessons and be horrible. Her poor son, definitely no wonder he has anxiety.
Wow. Just wow. "I throw him in the pool at 1, and if anything happends..."? The teacher is very polite, but still the b***h push and push. lmao!
SHE CUD CARRY HER A*S ELSEWHERE!. the nerve of this freedom grubbing degenerate.. someone take that kid away from this moron.
I actually feel bad for this lady... it seems like she is suffering from some type of mental illness.
She's sick and need immediate attention with the right candidates.
She's probably sick and needs attention soonest with the right candidates.
What a stupid f*****g b***h!!!! Throw her in a pool twice the size of her and whatever happens to her is her fault lmao!!!!! F**k off stupid b***h get her child taken away too lousy mother!
That woman is so off the wall that I have to wonder if this is actually true.
A conservative estimate is that 1 in every 5 people has some sort of mental problem. Always remember that when dealing with humans.
Keep telling ppl that you are a single mom, you need money and thing doesn't fair for her.
"My son doesn't this"...what? If your gonna rage do it with proper grammar...
Aunty/Uncle is a polite term for an older stranger in countries including China and India.

Ok. Nevermind on my comment. I should have read the entire article before. My bad.
Why is the contacts name "Aunty"? How would the womans name be programmed in the phone unless this was preplanned? I have so many questions. Lol
Reading this almost gave me a heart attack. What a crazy person. Maybe she was stressed and needed to vent, but WOW.

Can´t believe people like that exist... how can you live without a brain and a heart???
OMW, I would have blocked her with the second message, i mean really its no wonder she in single she is mad. demanding training that is free demanding a time, trying to force you to train her son on his own I mean who does this Idiot think she is. all i can say is typical.
and 'The Bitchiest A*****e Award' goes to.... I actually feel very bad for her son. May he grow up soon and get away from her!
I feel bad for the kid, because I won't be surprised if nobody would be willing to do/ give anything to him for free after this.
A disgusting person (and I use the word loosely) Good on the Teacher for standing her ground. Entitled snow flakes hate someone with a spine!
Ou back when I was a student I met RICH parents like that who wanted me to come to their houses to another city for private lessons at 10 pm or later! I mean I did it one time because I was terribly broke and needed the 2 cents.. They terrorized me until I had to block them.
Is the left guy her aunt or her cousin? The replier seems to be patient.
I sincerly hope this comes around Child Services, throwing anxiety child in a pool and lying to him to take somewhere and just get rid of him. You can take him swimming by yourself. I hope you will be reading this, Spoiled self centered horrible nasty brat, That's what you are, and probably even lying being a single mom. If you don't earn enough educate yourself and work for promotion. Some example of a mother you are, Dig a hole and be ashamed of yourself for a very long time. Your child deserves a better life. God knows how you treat him manipulative selfish b***h.
I'm a single Mom ,go work and give me all your money,I need more than all of you, I'm a single mom.🤯 I'm so shocked and not fully convinced if she is normal.poor kid, she is toxic.
WOW...I'm so sorry you had to deal with someone like that. The first thing I would do is block her. I also agree that she probably has mental issues becus that's not normal. With that being said I REALLY think you should have her banned from where ever you teach. It seems that she could potentially be dangerous and if she was so willing to throw her son into the pool she could also be hurting him during one of her manic episodes so you really need to report her to child services.
This is starting to sound too familiar. When did "poverty" make some people feel like they are entitled to be total a**holes? Maybe I'm on Bored Panda too much ;)
Are these text exchanges even real? Since the first one of those "give me sth for free" conversations went viral, there hav been suspiciously many of them...
If it's not anxiety don't call it anxiety? Introvert is different from r****d.
??? What does anxiety have to do with developmental disabilities? (I assume that's what you mean by the use of the word "r****d")
Load More Replies...Please tell me it's fake. Seriously? I will throw him into the pool at 1.....?
I have a hard time believing any of this is true. There are too many conversations like this online, people saying basically the same thing to illustrators, teachers and such. Seems staged.
I haven't read all the comments but can no one see this is a gottcha, like the Beastie Boys used to do?
I actually cannot belive what I’m reading, surely it’s a fake account.
This really reads like a prank. Is there anything to indicate there is actually anything real about this?
This is oviously 100% fake, whoever wrote this nonesense failed terribly. You can do better..
I don't believe these types of posts. No one can be that self centered loony tunes. If I got this text, I'd get her address and go and kick her a*s
I know plenty of women who are like that.. You must be pretty lucky and naive in your bubble
Load More Replies...This is most definitely a troll texting this person lmao. And...this is not a single mom, it's a troll acting like they are one. I'd put money on the fact the person was chuckling as they were texting. Always reply with laugh/cry emoji when the troll shows itself :)
This is absolutely not real lmao. The "mother" is most definitely a troll texting as a single mom. The quickest way to shut these trolls down is the laugh/tears emoji as soon as the troll reveals itself :) lmao!
I am from 'southern part of India' and the whole conversation looks fabricated to be honest, not so uncommon these days, sadly.
Is that really true? I can't imagine someone being that stupid/arrogant/rude. Wow...
Oh, come on. This has got to be fake. I get that there are a lot of rude morons floating about, but this is too over the top
I am not buying that this was an actual conversation, cant believe someone got that hot that quick , screams of sensationalism, just like all those videos of guys trying to hook up with a hot looking girl,getting brushed off til they show personal financial value , getting the girl to change their mind and then accusing them of being goldiggers, I call BS.
That reads as about the fakest exchange I've seen on here. Somebody just needs some attention - the alleged "swim teacher".
Or you could go away so we don’t have to listen to your whining. Are you six?
Load More Replies...no way, this must faked conv, or a troll or smth, it forces an image that's usually more subtle to get at, referring to that of person that sums up most of the bad qualities of a human being: selfishness, arrogance, hatred, envy, ignorance, cheap manipulative strategy. And they all come out of nowhere. It may be just my 2 cents, but I see it as very less-likely to happen. And as it may be, the trend of "choosing beggars" exploaded on social finger-pointing media, I see it as a click bait in this case. Again, my 2 cents :)
Sorry, again, not buying it. There are too many red flags for this to be real. I can see it happening for real, but, it seems just another made up story of Outrage.
If you had bothered to read the paragraph explaining the texts, you would have seen that this is happening in SOUTHERN INDIA. Not America.

Whereas here, kids would call a teacher Miss Annie or Mrs. Brown, in India they would say Aunty Annie or Aunty Brown. Because, oddly, they have different customs in different countries. People who don't live in the US have different ways of speaking and doing things. How very strange!

Load More Replies...I like how lady of the left acts like a total b***h but there are hundreds of thousands single mothers holding there own AND paying for there child to be taught how to swim, in fact, they probably teach their child their selves. Selfish b***h using here situation as a over bearing crutch instead of doing the right thing and either wait or get another person
Obvious why she's a single mom, men do not want to hang around . . . and kid will leave as soon as he can. I'd set the appointment for Child Services to be there when she throws in the kid. Maybe get some photos of her to post as a warning: don't get anywhere near this woman EVER!
This woman has serious issues and the child does not need to be living with her. Nobody is entitled to anything because they are a single parent as that is a choice. (Single parent raised two great kids by myself). I feel so sorry for the child and hope other stable family members are involved in his life.
Every time I read s**t like that I get the strong urge to hit someone. Preferably the dumb s**t who thinks the world resolves around them as soon as they say a word. But no, punching people outside of sports is against the law. Ffs what are these people thinking?
"Give me what I want or I'll intimidate and bully you- shaming you along the way" great way to justify your narcissistic self- centered "screw everyone but me-I'm the victim" mentality.
At all the people who think this is fake, it can be but if you knew at least something about Indian moms and their attitude that their kids are above everyone, you'll believe this.
Not to be rude, but that is coming off as a bit racist.
Load More Replies...Yikes... The whole way this conversation went was "Hey I see you r having a day off. That's great, now teach my son and pay me."
How dare you work a job when I am trying to get something from you! i would have stopped replying right there
This lady hasn’t been accosted but here we are banning a Christmas song older than most of us.
My mom-in-law was a single woman raising three boys AND teaching full-time. She never begged or demanded a thing from anyone else. If she wanted something...she worked to get it herself! And she gave selflessly to her own sons as well as her students on a daily basis. The best thing I can hope for with this woman is that her kid has a really damn good psychiatrist in the future to undo all the damage she's most likely heaping on him at the moment.
"I can't afford it. I am a single mom." Excuse you? There are plenty of single parents who manage to afford things for their kids. If she can't, maybe this cow should get off her lazy, entitled A*S and get a damn job. Also, I (sarcastically) like that she's getting pissy because the instructor took more than a couple minutes to respond, especially after already being told that she was at work at the time. Add to that the unreasonable demands and the fact she seriously said she would just toss her kid into the water and blame the teacher for him drowning....Jfc. The fact that there are people like that in this world makes me physically ill. Poor kid. I feel bad for him, having to grow up with such an absolute monster of a mother.
It's ignorant entitled people like that that make me want to punch people at times. I would have blocked the rude c**t
"I will throw him in the pool tomorrow at 1. If something happens to him you are responsible." WHO TF DOES THAT TO THEIR KID AND THEN BLAMES SOMEONE ELSE
...and it was exactly at 11:35 that the swim teacher knew this was gonna wind up on the internet....
I would print this out on a massive poster and tack it onto the outside of the building on the day she comes in. The Rec Center that I used to go swimming at was mostly run by young adults and they'd probably let me keep it up for longer LOL
I think the person asking for lessons is a troll or its a person that is just looking for reactions. The grammar of this mom drove me nuts! Plus, it just got worse and worse as she typed away about his son needing lessons. The lady (swim trainer), had way more patience than I would have had. I would have said something about her many ignorant s****y messages!! Like I said though, I think it was fake anyhow.
I wonder if the instructor can call authorities to report child endangerment.
Load More Replies...Did this woman reported this to the police? In my country if you say something like this your kids will me removed from you and you'll be under psychiatric observation.
I can believe it, I used to run a distribution point for a food bank. Burnt me out on charity Its too hot/cold/sunny/windy/cloudy, like could control the weather Why do I have to wait in line behind all the people that showed up before me? was a common complaint Can you bring it to my house, I dont want to come in case anyone recognises me, I dont want anyone to know I need help. was another I dont like this coffee (given to us for free by the church we used) why cant you buy Starbucks for us?
Reading this thread, I understand the two main points: the reason for her son anxieties (poor kid, by the way) and especially, especially: the many reasons for her celibacy!
This woman is clearly deeply mentally unstable. I'm really tired of reading about the horrible things people do to each other on Bored Panda
she said that the trainer have more flexible time than her. but from the conversation, looks like she got nothing to do except demands for impossible things while the trainer is working. so, i can bet that she's just a person with very very bad mental illness....
This poor volunteer was too polite for that woman. She should have told her to go f**k herself.
Unfortunately, I know a person like that. She is both entitled and a full-fledged conspiracy nut with a persecution complex. She can't hold on a job because she's very aggressive about her weird beliefs (aliens, magic, etc) and if you try to contradict her she'll burst into tears that you're oppressing her "freedom of thought". She also sends everyone on her contact list incoherent messages on whatsapp pretty similar to those in the above posting and lately she's been calling the cops to accuse random people of stealing from her and sue her relatives who (understandably) want to get her checked up by a psychiatrist and get custody of her children. Sad story. :/
This is the hardest thing about wanting to work with kids, especially kids in rough situations. Their parents can just be absolute entitled, ungrateful nightmares.
I don't know dude. I've worked in retail almost all my life and I've seen just about everything lol
Load More Replies...This has to be a joke. Has anyone confirmed this to be a massive troll job?
I think she has some mental illness problem,need to stay inside the swimming pool for 2 hours...it will ok after that..hehehe
I think it's possible that she is a swimming instructer too, and wasnt pleased with the way she teaches for free. Maybe she wanted to get on her nerves a bit.
I think She is suffering from some sort of Depression. She as a mother really need some help .
Actually, I feel really bad for her son, being brought up by this entitled cry baby who has absolutley no empathy or social graces.
OMG! i never comment on these things but this is outrageous! I was also a single mother, I appreciated every bit of help i got whether I had to pay for it or not! Unfortunately I have encountered individuals like this - very warped thinking process! Very sad! I think it is wonderful that you teach children to swim, I remember going to swimming lessons when I was a kid (in a lake too) - it was a wonderful experience and I was able to teach my son to swim when he was just a toddler. Focus on the people who have enough sense to appreciate you and keep on teaching!
I'm wondering how anyone with an attitude like that had kids to start with? I'm guessing IVF....
I pray this is fake but sadly I’m sure it’s not. How can someone be this vile and demanding and then absuive towards the person and then threatening their own child out of spite? This girl should have shut this s**t down after the first text - she was inpatient and clearly unhinged. Big fuckig whoop you’re a single mum- not the first and won’t be the last- you chose to have a kid so deal with it. I couldn’t buy things because I worked 3 jobs 7 days per week just to pay rent and basics for my child since the father was AWOL but never did I play the sympathy card to garner free things. I can’t believe this mother was lucky enough to find someone to teach swimming FOR FREE yet she wouldn’t be satisfied with that amazing generosity instead badgering this person for unreal expectations. Her kid has anxiety- no s**t- look at its parent ! She’s horrible and should not be allowed the privilege of being a parent. Dumb b***h ruins it for the others who’d be over the moon for this amazing gesture
I would love to meet her face to face and try and find out what makes her so stupid!
Ugh, this lady is SO RUDE! I can't believe people like this even exist. No wonder she's a single mom.
Unbelievable, I feel bad for the child, his mother must drive him crazy, and why does't he like other kids, she simply said that thinking she will then get private lessons, at age eighteen if he has what it takes he will leave his crazy mother, if he lasts that long !!!
Money doesn't solve everything. Some people do things simply out of the goodness of their heart. It's not their job to do what they offer so, they don't have schedules or shifts or prices, they have the freedom to set for themselves when they want to extend that kindness to others, and if they want anything in return. No one has to do anything for you, no matter what you demand. It's not called being a b***h; it's not a service they are providing you as a customer; it's her own business (no pun intended) and no one else who teaches, for how long, at what times, and what they offer in return. Unfortunately people feel the need to project how they feel about themselves onto others. What an entitled wretch making such demands, when the offer was FREE to begin with. My mother would have raced to the offer of free lessons for us in a heartbeat and worked flexibly with the teacher on that. Not much in this world is free and you have to be grateful AND gracious when taking offers like that.
If this were in the US i'd be thinking millenial Social Justice Worrier. (NOT misspelled, lol)
I have a hard time believing that ANYONE could really be that stupid and selfish. Threatening to throw her kid in the water, accusing a nice person, who teaches swimming for free, of being a b***h.... this is over the top. No wonder the guy split... she is a monster and she is going to turn that kid into a demanding selfish monster too.
first i was hoping this is some sort of troll because knowing there's a person like that existing and reproducing in the world, is just very sad. It makes me feel hopeless....! The teacher is so kind and nice! Id have blown up on her and tell her to f**k off. Poor boy will have to live with that monster of a mother for a long time. His life will be so damaged by her! Imagine what she does with his friends and teachers and everyone else around him.
There appears to be a modicum of a personality disorder involved with this woman's thinking processes.
She really should never have procreated. She has no place raising an impressionable human being. I would have just blocked the b***h after the first three messages.
That women is a f*cking son of B*TCH no not even a son of just a F*cking B*tch
Yeah, there's this function called "BLOCKING". Unless you're actually trying to go viral, there is absolutely no reason to put up with this kind of b******t.
In my opinion this article will stop some people from volunteering or charities because implies that when you do so youre going to be a victim of such weirdos. Reading comments i see that most assumes automatically that "people like that, what they think, they, they… " . In my opinion its weird, rare and absurdally unusuall. Im a swimming coach. I do use charity to learn kids empathy and sensitivity. For last 15 years or more theres never been anything else but appreciation and grattitude. Such demands never ever happened. If they did? I dont mind its entertaining that woman. Secondly that kid needs rescue. Id take him. Hesitation and calculating arent best advisors when you giving.
This requires the people of an entire country to rise and slow clap.
I feel like this person must be trolling because there's no way anyone can be so out of touch with reality.
What the **** is wrong with this kind of people... somebody gives free swimming lessons for kids who need it. Take it and be thankful, how rude! And those demands... This kind of persons make volunteers stop what they're doing.... What a shame!
Sounds to me like this lady's one diving board short of a pool, if you know what I mean.

Far out!! What a nasty woman. Feel so sorry for the teacher. I have no words, just mouth agape. Beg for money and free lessons and be horrible. Her poor son, definitely no wonder he has anxiety.
Wow. Just wow. "I throw him in the pool at 1, and if anything happends..."? The teacher is very polite, but still the b***h push and push. lmao!
SHE CUD CARRY HER A*S ELSEWHERE!. the nerve of this freedom grubbing degenerate.. someone take that kid away from this moron.
I actually feel bad for this lady... it seems like she is suffering from some type of mental illness.
She's sick and need immediate attention with the right candidates.
She's probably sick and needs attention soonest with the right candidates.
What a stupid f*****g b***h!!!! Throw her in a pool twice the size of her and whatever happens to her is her fault lmao!!!!! F**k off stupid b***h get her child taken away too lousy mother!
That woman is so off the wall that I have to wonder if this is actually true.
A conservative estimate is that 1 in every 5 people has some sort of mental problem. Always remember that when dealing with humans.
Keep telling ppl that you are a single mom, you need money and thing doesn't fair for her.
"My son doesn't this"...what? If your gonna rage do it with proper grammar...
Aunty/Uncle is a polite term for an older stranger in countries including China and India.
Load More Replies...Sooo... call social service? You know, just to be sure what’s going on in that house. Christ...
Ok. Nevermind on my comment. I should have read the entire article before. My bad.
Why is the contacts name "Aunty"? How would the womans name be programmed in the phone unless this was preplanned? I have so many questions. Lol
Reading this almost gave me a heart attack. What a crazy person. Maybe she was stressed and needed to vent, but WOW.

Can´t believe people like that exist... how can you live without a brain and a heart???
OMW, I would have blocked her with the second message, i mean really its no wonder she in single she is mad. demanding training that is free demanding a time, trying to force you to train her son on his own I mean who does this Idiot think she is. all i can say is typical.
and 'The Bitchiest A*****e Award' goes to.... I actually feel very bad for her son. May he grow up soon and get away from her!
I feel bad for the kid, because I won't be surprised if nobody would be willing to do/ give anything to him for free after this.
A disgusting person (and I use the word loosely) Good on the Teacher for standing her ground. Entitled snow flakes hate someone with a spine!
Ou back when I was a student I met RICH parents like that who wanted me to come to their houses to another city for private lessons at 10 pm or later! I mean I did it one time because I was terribly broke and needed the 2 cents.. They terrorized me until I had to block them.
Is the left guy her aunt or her cousin? The replier seems to be patient.
I sincerly hope this comes around Child Services, throwing anxiety child in a pool and lying to him to take somewhere and just get rid of him. You can take him swimming by yourself. I hope you will be reading this, Spoiled self centered horrible nasty brat, That's what you are, and probably even lying being a single mom. If you don't earn enough educate yourself and work for promotion. Some example of a mother you are, Dig a hole and be ashamed of yourself for a very long time. Your child deserves a better life. God knows how you treat him manipulative selfish b***h.
I'm a single Mom ,go work and give me all your money,I need more than all of you, I'm a single mom.🤯 I'm so shocked and not fully convinced if she is normal.poor kid, she is toxic.
WOW...I'm so sorry you had to deal with someone like that. The first thing I would do is block her. I also agree that she probably has mental issues becus that's not normal. With that being said I REALLY think you should have her banned from where ever you teach. It seems that she could potentially be dangerous and if she was so willing to throw her son into the pool she could also be hurting him during one of her manic episodes so you really need to report her to child services.
This is starting to sound too familiar. When did "poverty" make some people feel like they are entitled to be total a**holes? Maybe I'm on Bored Panda too much ;)
Are these text exchanges even real? Since the first one of those "give me sth for free" conversations went viral, there hav been suspiciously many of them...
If it's not anxiety don't call it anxiety? Introvert is different from r****d.
??? What does anxiety have to do with developmental disabilities? (I assume that's what you mean by the use of the word "r****d")
Load More Replies...Please tell me it's fake. Seriously? I will throw him into the pool at 1.....?
I have a hard time believing any of this is true. There are too many conversations like this online, people saying basically the same thing to illustrators, teachers and such. Seems staged.
I haven't read all the comments but can no one see this is a gottcha, like the Beastie Boys used to do?
I actually cannot belive what I’m reading, surely it’s a fake account.
This really reads like a prank. Is there anything to indicate there is actually anything real about this?
This is oviously 100% fake, whoever wrote this nonesense failed terribly. You can do better..
I don't believe these types of posts. No one can be that self centered loony tunes. If I got this text, I'd get her address and go and kick her a*s
I know plenty of women who are like that.. You must be pretty lucky and naive in your bubble
Load More Replies...This is most definitely a troll texting this person lmao. And...this is not a single mom, it's a troll acting like they are one. I'd put money on the fact the person was chuckling as they were texting. Always reply with laugh/cry emoji when the troll shows itself :)
This is absolutely not real lmao. The "mother" is most definitely a troll texting as a single mom. The quickest way to shut these trolls down is the laugh/tears emoji as soon as the troll reveals itself :) lmao!
I am from 'southern part of India' and the whole conversation looks fabricated to be honest, not so uncommon these days, sadly.
Is that really true? I can't imagine someone being that stupid/arrogant/rude. Wow...
Oh, come on. This has got to be fake. I get that there are a lot of rude morons floating about, but this is too over the top
I am not buying that this was an actual conversation, cant believe someone got that hot that quick , screams of sensationalism, just like all those videos of guys trying to hook up with a hot looking girl,getting brushed off til they show personal financial value , getting the girl to change their mind and then accusing them of being goldiggers, I call BS.
That reads as about the fakest exchange I've seen on here. Somebody just needs some attention - the alleged "swim teacher".
Or you could go away so we don’t have to listen to your whining. Are you six?
Load More Replies...no way, this must faked conv, or a troll or smth, it forces an image that's usually more subtle to get at, referring to that of person that sums up most of the bad qualities of a human being: selfishness, arrogance, hatred, envy, ignorance, cheap manipulative strategy. And they all come out of nowhere. It may be just my 2 cents, but I see it as very less-likely to happen. And as it may be, the trend of "choosing beggars" exploaded on social finger-pointing media, I see it as a click bait in this case. Again, my 2 cents :)
Sorry, again, not buying it. There are too many red flags for this to be real. I can see it happening for real, but, it seems just another made up story of Outrage.
If you had bothered to read the paragraph explaining the texts, you would have seen that this is happening in SOUTHERN INDIA. Not America. In India, it is a social norm to call people who are older than you or assumed to be older than you 'Aunty' or 'Uncle', similar to how here children address adults as Miss or Mister. Whereas here, kids would call a teacher Miss Annie or Mrs. Brown, in India they would say Aunty Annie or Aunty Brown. Because, oddly, they have different customs in different countries. People who don't live in the US have different ways of speaking and doing things. How very strange!
