On holiday last week at a place that had a swimming pool with two water slides, obviously being used by loads of children. One little boy (about 8) ran up the steps, then called out for his mum. She went up and caried him back down. He had cut his foot on something and as she carried him, the blood trailed everywhere. The dad came over to look at his son's foot. They wrapped it up in a t-shirt I think then the dad called out to the young boy (about 16) running the pool bar that there was blood that needed cleaning.
The pool bar guy went up with a mop and cleaned, but a few minutes later when I took DS on the slide there was still a lot of blood on the platform at the top and down the steps. I took DS down the slide then went and told the guy behind the bar that there was still a lot of blood. I said if he gave me the mop, I would go and clean it up for him but he said he would come. So he came out with a dry mop which wouldn't really be any use. We could see him trying to clean it and failing, so DH filled up two of our empty 2L water bottles with pool water and took it up to help clean it.
The whole time, the dad of the boy was just sat on the edge of the pool watching DH and the pool bar guy cleaning his son's blood up. Literally watching them do it! The mum was playing pool. The boy was fine on his sunbed.
If it had been me, I would have offered to clean it up myself as soon as it happened. I would definitely have got off my arse to help if two strangers started cleaning it up. You just would, wouldn't you? It made me fume for at leastan hour afterwards!
AIBU?
