The birds are flying south for the winter.
In all of my almost 41 years of life, I have never seen a sign like the one I saw yesterday. The sign said “Incontinent or non-toilet trained people are not allowed in the pool.” Another sign close by has a list of rules that after reading you’re too tired to go swimming: No jumping in the pool, no splashing, no running, no rough play, keep the noise level down, blah blah.
I agree that all pools should have a list of rules. I guess these rules make it clear that no fun should be had by anyone who might have some tiny portion of kid left in them.
I wonder if I will be one of those people enjoying all those rules one day, and just when that day will come. I hope never.
Thanks to everyone for Tybee and all the great memories to add to my list.
That being said, I still don’t think people should poop in the pool with or without a sign. Our pool was shut down three times this summer for several days each time because some poopin’ idiot doesn’t respect that rule.
All these rules are caused by lawyers. If you warn people about something you are not considered negligent. In the ole days before the proliferation of lawyers society operated under the rule of “Caveat emptor” or buyer beware. If you bought something or used something you did it at your own risk. People were required to think and make prudent decisions. Now people take action on how they feel not on how they think because they have lost the ability to think.
Actually somebody pooped several time in the pool this summer. We just didn’t know about. Those are the most ridiculous rules I’ve heard.
