Poolside Manners
There are few things in life more infuriating than “pool people.” You know those people who head to the pool with their family, 50 cousins, 3 coolers, and 10 packed lunches. Your quiet, relaxing time has just turned into a circus production. Here are a few tips for while you bronze at the pool.
- Snacks are acceptable, but if they fill up more than a personal beach bag, you have too many
- Snacks are snacks…a roast chicken is not something you bring to the pool
- Splashing is fine when you are 6…it is not when you are a full grown man, stop bothering people
- Watch what you wear. There are some things better left a mystery. No one wants to watch you pour over the sides of your swim suit. There are swim suits for every size…find yours.
- Stop having sex…I am right here, go home or do it in the middle of night when no one knows
Basically just be respectful of others. People come to the pool to relax and have fun. So if you are there relaxing, don’t sour it for everyone else. And if you are there to have fun, don’t bother everyone else.
