To think hot tubs in back gardens are a bit shit and anti social?

I'm sure they're nice and realxing and perfectly acceptable if you live a house with a huge garden and no close neighbours nearby, but my neighbours have just bought one. We live in a row of terraces, with small gardens and are overlooked from every direction. It's slap bag in the middle of the back yard and I can actually see them sitting in it if I go upstairs.

All weekend Ive heard the constant hum from the pumps and the stench of chlorine filling the air. Now they're sitting in, shouting like they're deaf because they can't hear themselves talking over the pump.

If I'm honest I also find them a bit tacky. I can't think of anything worse. Just have a sodding bath! DB's next door neighbours have and he's been moaning about it for ages, thought he was being a killjoy until one was installed here! Now I get it.

They're horrible things. Can't see the attraction at all.

My friend opened her back door to let her cat out last week and her neighbors were having very loud sex in theirs Blush

Yes, I agree. My chavvy neighbours have one too. Detached house but about a foot away from our fence. However, it seems to have been a short lived wonder. Can’t remember the last time they used it .

Dead skin soup.

Sex pond?! WTF?! My neighbours are actually nice people, and I'd never complain because really they can have what they like in their garden. But surely they wouldn't shag in it? In full view of the neighbour?!

I don't think you need be sociable to others if you don't want to be in your back garden, but agree about the smell. In any case they are usually too small for more than two people and in a garden cannot usually be used naked.

Chlamydia soup //🤮

HoleyCoMoley · 15/08/2018 20:59

Also breeding grounds for legionella and all manner of disease.

how gauche. i check out the neighbours carefully when viewing properties.

MerryDeath · 15/08/2018 21:06

also i had sex in a hot tub once and it was rubbish. far too slippery.

SendYouUpInFlames · 15/08/2018 21:06

I'm blessed. My NDN had theirs put in about 2 year ago. They've been in it about 3 times and heard nothing but complaints about the infested swamp. Hoping they send it back.

They are honestly vile. Just imagine how much crap is being collected up on the sides, and floating on top of the water. 🤢
