  1. Tim Aplin says:

    you forgot ‘oogling at hot women in bikinis’ which would take up about 75% of my time….

    • wood says:

      The Graph was by someone named “Krista G” so she was probably checking out the sweet banana hamocks……

      • Tim Aplin says:

        even straight women oogle at other women in bikinis (okay the technical term is ‘compare’ but they are still oogling)

    • Dina says:

      Having worked as a lifeguard, I can say there is a distinct lack of women in bikinis… or at least women who SHOULD be in bikinis.

    • david says:

      there should be a graph about that-
      probability of getting hot girls in bikinis in your section= 1%
      probability of getting fat 70-year-old men in your section=70%
      probability of getting annoying kids in your section=29%

      cuz seriously thats what its like, if you haven’t ever lifegaurded…

  2. Burphel says:

    What, no large segment for “looking at nice butts” and tiny sliver for “time spent in the pool”?

  3. Luanne says:

    Swinging whistle cord around finger one way and then another (or maybe that was an ’80s thing.

    • Rachel says:

      NOT just an 80s thing.

      I would say 90% I’m doing that. (often combined with staring into space aimlessly or reading)

  4. Nick says:

    I don’t know about you. But if I worked for 5 hours lifegaurding and 30-35% of that time was spent eating snack bar food…I wouldn’t be lifegaurding for long. I’d just be fat and unhappy (I don’t know anyone who can eat for an hour and a half snack bar food in a 5 hour shift).

    I think that %’age is a lot high. Maybe 10-15%, so like 30-45 minutes in a 5 hour shift. This makes room for another 5% of in the pool time, and 15-20% of looking at hot women/guys (depending on gender of course).

  5. jynx says:

    maybe she ate her snack bars really slowly- maybe she made it a game- like that she could only take a bite when a kid yelled out that another kid was peeing in the pool- and thats another thing- i’m pretty sure most lifeguarding takes place during kids swim rather than adult swim so there probably wasn’t a lot of oogling of either gender going on

  6. Mel says:

    What about time spent bathing in sunscreen? Or is that just for pale chicks like me?

  7. Hakib says:

    I had the EXACT same experience in my lifeguarding job.

    And in reference to oggling at women…there werent any worth oggling at…

  8. Kaiser Steve says:

    maybe its more of a where thing, i would suspect that in the middle of say Wyoming there isn’t much but say beach lifeguarding at miami, maybe something.

  9. E. Tufte says:

    so far, no one in this thread has spelled “ogle” correctly.
    Not until just now, anyway. :)

  10. lizbiz says:

    it may be boring but a lifeguard saved my autistic cousin from almost drowning in a pool, so… thanks :)

  11. cornflower says:

    what about yelling at kids to stop running? that should be a good 10% at least – maybe right before handing out the band-aids…

  12. Dustin says:

    Oh so true. Switch around reading/sudoku with bandaids, and then bandaids with snacking, and you have my pool. XD

    But ya, agreed w/ cornflower.

    Chain of Events:
    *run* -> “WALKKKK!!!” -> *face2concrete* -> *cries* -> *band-aid action*

    It’s fun to watch sometimes, though…. Unless it’s devastatingly horrible.
    You tell them to stop, but inside you want to see what will happen if they don’t. :D Lmao, jkjk

    • Lane.Dizzo says:

      THIS graphjam is NOT FUNNY in any way, shape or form. Could I give a crap about what you do at your job? Gah!!! Hate to sound like a c**t… but what ever happened to all the hilarious charts?

      • Lewis says:

        It’s funny because its ironic. It’s pointing out the humor in the fact that lifeguards are employed to save drowning people however for most lifeguards that comprises little or none of what they do. The fact that it had to be explained to you probably takes away from the humor of the experience. Maybe you could find a nice picture of a dog in sunglasses or something else more suited to your level of comprehension to make you giggle.

  13. Mike Trouw says:

    Jesus, this is how my entire season has been thus far, and I’m about to go and lifeguard in about an hour… mind numbing!!!

    Anyone who is a lifeguard will get the humor, otherwise they just don’t understand just how ridiculous being a lifeguard actually is.

    I’ve used my training only three times in the past 3 years, two of them being generic first aid and only one being an actual save, no cpr or anything like that though…

    mmm snack bar!

  14. Mike says:

    Never been a lifeguard, but I tell you, replace Sudoku with drawing,
    and you have exactly what I would do if I were there.

    A “heh” graph. 7/10 not bad

  15. hyzenthlay says:

    Maybe reserve a tiny sliver of ‘eating snack bar food’ for eating, and a slightly larger bit for ’staring at hotties of your preferred gender’ and then the rest is ‘yelling at kids to stop running’.

  16. Norwegian Guy says:

    Y’know, this would be better if the term “band” was removed from “giving children…”

  17. Cody says:

    Oh god..
    for me, almost the entire thing would be “staring aimlessly into space”, and instead of “giving little kids band-aids,” it would be “pretending to be working hard when my boss is there”.

  18. david says:

    and then theres the people in the snack shack-
    eating food-50%
    trying to convince your boss you were eating food-20%
    giving the lifegaurds free food behind your bosses’ back-20%
    playing ‘noes-goes’ for not doing the snow-cones-5%
    freezing lazy jerk’s work shirt-5%

  19. Courtney says:

    u must be a red cross lifeguard cause i dont see anything to do with actually jumping in and saving lives which i did almost every day at my lifeguard job

  20. Elyssa says:

    Don’t forget about time spent “Practicing saves” after the pool closed, putting brownies in the pool, drinking in the pump room, and all the HTH bombs!

  21. Amilie says:

    Most of the lifeguards I’ve seen spend 99% of their time twirling their whistle around their finger over and over.
