AIBU?

to find it rude when people turn on the bubbles in the jacuzzi, without asking you what you want?

that's it really. I had a day out at a local spa with a couple of friends. it has an open-air hot tub with room for about 6 or 7 people. we were sitting chatting happily - no bubbles, just still water, when 2 women climbed in and turned it onto the volcano setting, 2 or 3 times, no eye contact, or asking us if we minded. it happened later that day with a different couple. I think they were bloody rude, but is that what people do in spas?

Is that not the point of a jacuzzi, bubbles?

happystory · 08/04/2013 16:17

I thought the whole point was the bubbles....?

snice · 08/04/2013 16:18

can I ask-what were you expecting it to be like in a jacuzzi?

ShatnersBassoon · 08/04/2013 16:18

They're supposed to have bubbles. It's more unreasonable to want to sit in a communal bath.

carlajean · 08/04/2013 16:18

I know what you mean, but this has 3 settings-still, some bubbles and, as it says 'volcano'. surely if the people in it have it on still you don't crank it up to max?

It's a jacuzzi! Without the bubbles you're just sitting in a bath!

I would probably have checked as I put them on but would not have been shocked if someone else had just turned them on!

EffieTheDuck · 08/04/2013 16:19

Do not do as I did and add bubble bath.

In search of a hotel that’ll give you some hard-earned pampering, even when you have the kids in tow? Look no further - we’ve got Mumsnetters’ pick of the best UK spa hotels that welcome the whole family.

I thought the 'still' setting was for when it's not in use. Sitting in it like that seems a bit strange to me.

VivaLeBeaver · 08/04/2013 16:20

Yabu. You're sat in a jacuzzi. It wouldn't cross my mind to ask. I'd think I was doing them a flour by pressing the button. They probably thought you were a right lazy arse for not pressing.

snice · 08/04/2013 16:20

perhaps one of them needed to trump so was covering her tracks so to speak..

Fenton · 08/04/2013 16:20

I have something in my head about being thankful, and the types of bubbles but I just can't put it together and say it.

NotAnotherPackedLunch · 08/04/2013 16:20

Maybe they had a massive fart brewing and needed the bubbles to mask it.

VivaLeBeaver · 08/04/2013 16:20

Favour not flour.

JambalayaCodfishPie · 08/04/2013 16:21

We'd all had beans for lunch and needed to disguise it. Sorry OP.

TheCraicDealer · 08/04/2013 16:21

Agree with Viva. I'd think you didn't know how to work it and that I was doing you a favour by introducing some bubblez. If I wanted to sit in a tank of still water I'd have a bath, not pay for a spa day.

VivaLeBeaver · 08/04/2013 16:21

I could tell my tale again of the bloke who sat next to me in a gym jacuzzi and had a wank. Be thankful things weren't that bad.

GhoulWithADragonTattoo · 08/04/2013 16:21

YABU, it's a jacuzzi!!

JambalayaCodfishPie · 08/04/2013 16:22

Glad other posters are as crude as me!!!

haggisaggis · 08/04/2013 16:22

I thought when it was on "still" that was it's cleaning phase and you had to get out? Certainly at any spa I've been to you are not allowed to stay in it on the "still" phase.

ShatnersBassoon · 08/04/2013 16:22

It's like moaning that someone got in a lift with you and pressed a button to travel to another floor when you were just using the lift as a quiet place to have a rest and didn't really want to go anywhere.

carlajean · 08/04/2013 16:23

honestly I never thought of that. at the risk of being accused of drip feeding, apparently it's a hot spa pool

I'd think you were the one being rude, hogging the jacuzzi and not wanting bubbles on!

Madness.

PostmanPatricia · 08/04/2013 16:23

Sounds like they were using it for its intended purpose.

LegoAcupuncture · 08/04/2013 16:24

Wow, lots of first world problems on MN today.

YABU. Jacuzzis are meant to have bubbles.
