We were swimming at the Y today and there was a guy there who at least appeared to not speak English - you are not allowed to mess with the sauna temperature but he was sneaking into the room where the sauna controls are and turning it up & up. The poor lifeguard was having a hard time with him. He had the sauna so hot a girl was burned on her bare foot when she stepped onto the floor. Then he was shaving in the hot tub, had it all full of his disgusting beard and soap. So now he had both the sauna and the hot tub shut down and a teen off to the ER. They kept telling him he had to leave but he just kept on saying he doesn't speak English. The lifeguard took him to the gate - pushed him out and locked the gate - he walked around the building and came back in through the locker rooms. The guard was so mad - the guy was mad and they are just standing there yelling in 2 different languages . Finally the police showed up, and had a man with them who appeared to be an interpreter. The police took him away.

He was shaving in the hot tub? I can't imagine that.

Where was it said that the guy was an illegal?

And yes, sometimes, some people will pretend that they don't speak, or understand English. No where did I say the word, "illegals".

But, one would have to admit, that there are people who have been in our country for a number of years, whether legally, or otherwise, who will play the "I don't understand you" card, when it is convenient for them.

I've seen it happen with my very own eyes, so don't tell me that it doesn't happen.

Just as an aside, I would steer clear of any public hot tub or sauna. They are breeding grounds for MRSA.
