So, I worked as a lifeguard at a local pool in my late teens. It was a shit job and we were always understaffed, especially in the summer season, so we are normally pretty stressed out and tired. I'm quite jokey with a lot of customers and it normally plays off well , but this time it really didn't. 

There are the usual pool rules signs up, but one rule we have is you can't jump in backwards. This is one of the rules that are really heavily enforced because I've heard stories of people cutting their chins on the poolside as they jump in. So on this day, a couple of kids are jumping in, having fun, but one is about to go in backwards. Trying to stop them I dash over and say "woah woah woah" (If you're asking why I didn't blow a whistle, we had swimming lessons on at the same time and the instructors use whistles so everyone just ignores them). Anyway, I get there a bit late and the kid goes in but thankfully he didn't hurt himself. I kneel down, smiling cause I'm glad hes fine, and say with a bit of  laugh "don't be an idiot mate and go in backwards, you can hurt yourself."

The kid looked at me very wide eyed, but that was quite a good reaction because most normally cry when being told they can't do something. So I take that as a success and return to my post. Then, this dude (who I later found out was the kid's dad) comes charging at me, yelling that he wants to speak to my manager. I go fetch the boss and this dude starts yelling how I called his son an idiot and he's going to make a formal complaint. I try to say how its very dangerous to go in backwards and I don't want anyone to get hurt and he relies "you shouldn't be a lifeguard if you're that panicky."

To be fair, I am quite a jumpy guy. He logged a formal complaint but my manager at the time made sure it didn't go any higher. I just feel like he over reacted to the word "idiot", which I don't consider that offensive especially how I said it. I'm pretty sure he didn't here exactly what I said, I managed to get hold of a copy of his complaint and he said I yelled at his kid "stop being an idiot", which isn't true.

This has bugged me for years as everyone I have told this to never gives me a straight answer. Whatever the judgement, I will accept it.
