My partner (35M) and I (21M) are on holiday in Spain at the moment.<\/p>\n
We are very much enjoy snorkeling in the crystal clear waters.<\/p>\n
We went to a remote beach which has no lifeguard and is not very touristy as the beaches where we were staying were packed and too hard to see the water.<\/p>\n
This man spotted a huge jellyfish in the water.<\/p>\n
We were swimming along the rocky coast, and the water gets quite deep quite fast, but there\u2019s very little current and it\u2019s in a bit of an alcove, so it\u2019s safe for the majority of swimmers.<\/p>\n
However, when we were swimming, we spotted a giant jellyfish a few metres out.<\/p>\n
We swam away from it, but then I passed a family who were English. They were swimming that way with two young kids (maybe about 5 or 6?).<\/p>\n
He warned the family who was going in the direction of the jellyfish.<\/p>\n
I stopped and said to the dad that there was a jellyfish a few metres out that way, but if they stay by the rocks, they would be okay. I said just be wary as it was fairly large and also because there is no lifeguard (so no medical supplies).<\/p>\n
The kids were also still using floaties, so naturally not the best swimmers.<\/p>\n
They thanked me and I swam past.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s noted that the parents didn\u2019t have any goggles.<\/p>\n
He heard the parents telling their kids that there were no jellyfish.<\/p>\n
Then, about five minutes later, the girls were screaming about jellyfish.<\/p>\n
I heard the parents exasperatedly say there was no jellyfish and to keep swimming.<\/p>\n
This is where the issue started.<\/p>\n
The parents would not stop whispering and glaring at me, and one of them commented I intentionally scared their children.<\/p>\n
His partner told him he should not have said anything.<\/p>\n
My partner says I should\u2019ve kept it to myself and not said anything.<\/p>\n
The girls wouldn\u2019t stop saying about jellyfish and they had to get out eventually.<\/p>\n
But before they did, they were saying they saw jellyfish.<\/p>\n
The parents were still telling them there was none.<\/p>\n
The parents were obviously upset with him for scaring their daughters.<\/p>\n
The father was trying to coax the daughter to him.<\/p>\n
But about two foot away from him were two jellyfish.<\/p>\n
The daughters refused, and I saw them get out.<\/p>\n
And the parents are still giving me death glares from across the beach, supposedly for ruining their beach day.<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t have kids so I can see how that was frustrating, but I didn\u2019t want them to get hurt.<\/p>\n
AITA?<\/p>\n
Did he do the right thing, or should he have stayed quiet?<\/p>\n
