'The pool is closed... what you may not know is the reason': HOA board makes startling decision without informing homeowners

Ew, no one wants to go swimming in a green pool . It happens to every pool owner at some point: you go a few days without adding chlorine, and one morning you awaken to a pool full of bright green algae. The good news is that it's often an easy fix: you just need to shock the pool with some chlorine, or find a pool maintenance person to do it for you. But this person, u/Otherwise_Hunt7296, realized that their green pool problem might take a bit longer to solve than they'd planned. It's all due…

'One of my four children dumped a half gallon of milk in the freshly filled pool': 20 Mildly infuriating summer moments to distract you from the sweltering heat

'One of my four children dumped a half gallon of milk in the freshly filled pool': 20 Mildly infuriating summer moments to distract you from the sweltering heat

It's the time of year where summer has outstayed its welcome. In the beginning of the summer , we welcomed the warmth and stuffed our winter jackets in the closets to switch to shorts and tee shirts. Maybe you took a trip or two to the local beach or took a summer road trip with the kids. But now, in the middle of the hottest months, we're all sweaty and cranky and we'd like less heat, please. Getting dunked in the pool sounds perfect right now, followed by drinking a huge glass of ice water. T…

'Is all of this really necessary?': Customer thinks he knows better than pool store employee, tries to save money on pool before his plan backfires

'Is all of this really necessary?': Customer thinks he knows better than pool store employee, tries to save money on pool before his plan backfires

This pool salesman has been on the job long enough to know that some customers can't be convinced to buy the products they need. Customers often like to think they know everything about a product just because they own it. In this case, the owner of a pool was pretty sure he knew everything he needed to know about his swimming pool. How hard could it be to maintain one little pool? All you have to do is fill it and empty it seasonally, and put in some chlorine or salt. Right? Surely there's noth…

'I personally went from making 15$ an hour to $27 an hour': Swim club president insists on pay cuts, hero boss gets every lifeguard a gigantic raise

This person had the best summer job ever, all thanks to their boss who went above and beyond his job duties. We could all use a boss like John, as their former employee, u/timothy53, told in a tale of incredible malicious compliance. Summer jobs give teens a taste of independence. At your first job, you have the freedom to drive to work, earn some cash, and then catch up with your friends to enjoy some summer fun. A really great job for teens is lifeguarding . You have to be certified, and it's…

'She said they went down [to the pool] an hour ago, but couldn't get in': Entitled mom and kids demand to swim for literally mere seconds, just before pool closes

'She said they went down [to the pool] an hour ago, but couldn't get in': Entitled mom and kids demand to swim for literally mere seconds, just before pool closes

Going swimming at hotel pools is one of the best parts of vacation — and if you're a kid, it might even be the best part! Unfortunately, one mom and her kids found out the hard way that you can't just use all parts of the hotel any time you please. Pools usually aren't open 24/7 at most places. And as the OP shared in this post to r/TalesFromtheFrontDesk, at their hotel, people can only use the pool for an hour at a time, and it closes at 10 P.M. sharp, so that the OP can complete the rest of t…
