Lazy river ownership

Currently on holiday exploring the pool area.

We decided to go for an adventure, we adventured (my wife and I) to the private villas (swim up), we then adventured back (on a nice floaty).

On the way back we heard a comment from a private villa occupant that the adventure path was reserved for private villa occupants. No signage to say can't go down it and we were quiet, just wanted to see what was up that part of the pool.

Being my good self I wholeheartedly intend to adventure there again. AIBU, I most definitely think so.

And Poppycock.

Since you end the OP stating you're going again, so not sure of the point of posting, but careful you don;t drown.
It would be a loss to the world.

He sounds like a bit of a pompous tool but i think this is a bit far!

QuinionsRainbow · 29/08/2022 13:58

OP,I'm still baffled. Is this any old "lazy river" or The Lazy River? And if the latter, where on earth is it? And what kind of Adventure is involved? and did you get back safely? And was there honey still for tea?

I cringe for this poster

and his poor wife (assuming he’s a man)

I bet he wear swim shorts that a far too tight for him. Oh and white socks and sandals

So many arsey responses.

I have certainly seen around a million other similar AIBU questions over the years - about things that could easily be resolved by asking someone - and rarely seen such unnecessarily unpleasant replies.

OP has been pleasant and respectful on the thread so I'm not sure why the vitriolic response really unless pp was right and it's because op is on a nice holiday and referred to a wife.

Lazy river

a long and winding pool with a slight current that pushes you along gently

bloody love them

ClownSchool · 29/08/2022 13:52

I think OP might mean ventured?

Endlesslypatient82 · 29/08/2022 13:52

Out of interest, how come you name changed to start this thread Op? Embarrassed to be associated with it? Or don’t want a poster AS your name and seeing all the times you have complained about perceived injustices 😂

YourLipsMyLipsApocalypse · 29/08/2022 13:52

Apologies, just misread your post.

Why do you write so weirdly? Do you think you're funny? [Cringe]

Sounds so pompous. I don't mind the pushing the rules to the limit, but he writing style here makes me itch.

I see no anger. No passive aggression.

:) adventure path is most certainly public.

I'm a little bit like a roomba on holiday, I like to map out the edges.

Angry (passively) villa resident was certainly vocal once we were "out" of earshot.

I can't wait to revisit the adventure path

I see no anger. No passive aggression.

I don't understand. Does the lazy river go past the private villas? In that case, of course you're allowed to adventure go there. That's the point of a lazy river. You can float along it and go round as many times as you like.

But although a lazy river is mentioned in the title, I don't see any mention of it in the body of the post. And what the hell is an "adventure path"?

Has the OP gone? (back up the river, adventuring?) I did a little username check and even this thread doesn't show up?

OP has floatied off into the sunset ...

I was expecting something akin to A level geography and sedimentary rivers.

Can I just squeeze in a mention of oxbow lakes? Mainly because that is the only thing I can remember doing in Geography.

Purplecatshopaholic · 29/08/2022 13:46

I clicked on this as I didn’t understand what the thread was about. I still don’t…lol

JinglingHellsBells · 29/08/2022 13:44

@FuckThisForAGameOfNotSoldiers You are not allowed to assume he is a MAN simply because he/she/they refer to their 'wife'.

Wow good for you.

Usually I take a good book for holiday entertainment, but you crack on with your illicit floatie adventure.

The most tragic post I've ever read on MN 😂

Oh come on, it's nice to find a man on Mumsnet not moaning about not being able to get sex he does sound an absolute knob though

TabithaTittlemouse · 29/08/2022 13:39

Surely if the swimming pool goes in a circle around the hotel they can’t stop people swimming adventuring in that bit? Or you would have to get out halfway and walk adventure to the next public bit?
Please draw a diagram.

Btw Holibobs makes you sound terribly common (which I think is the opposite of what you were going for).

Dwrcegin · 29/08/2022 13:39

Your title is clickbait. Disappointed.

CaptainThe95thRifles · 29/08/2022 13:39

"Adventuring", even if we can accept this as a verb which I'd really rather not, really shouldn't involve a man-made "lazy", shaped swimming pool abomination.

If you want to go on an adventure, get a grip of yourself and find a proper river where you can engage with reality.
