to think "my pool, my rules"

We have a swimming pool in the garden. The garden has high fences and is not overlooked. When I have guests I will wear both halves of a bikini, when I am alone, I am happy to leave the top off and sometimes not to bother at all. My attitude is "my pool, my rules" and as long as I am not subjecting anyone else to my attire or lack of it to think that this is my business. Besides, I hate the feel of a wet swimming costume if I can avoid it.

Honey let's have a go...

AIBU to boast about my pool?

YABU!

ILoveTIFFANY · 18/07/2014 20:30

Is it really a pool or the neighbour's koi pond?

HoneyDragon · 18/07/2014 20:33

I despair of AIBU FFS sake people don't even try anymore.

If I had a pool I'd by like

Hah! I totes have a pool and you probably don't AIBU to point out its really hot today?

And no nudity required.

Air out your clunge!

Hahahahahahahahahaha

SweetFelicityArkwright · 18/07/2014 20:36

Oh I'm disappointed. I thought this was going to be a more assertive version of that thread years ago about the next door neighbour who wouldn't stop using the pool. I remember it fondly as being the height of unreasonableness on the part of the neighbour and politely masked oozing resentment by the pool owner.

Does your DH wear a mankini or is that not in the rules?

MyFairyKing · 18/07/2014 20:41

Can I come over for a swim? I don't care if you're completely starkers if that helps at all.

MamaLazarou · 18/07/2014 20:41

YABU

I have the same dilemma when swimming off my yacht.

apermanentheadache · 18/07/2014 20:44

Oi think you'll fin oi am considerably richer than yaaw, and I have bigger bosoms too. I demand a pool-off.

Vingtdeux22 · 18/07/2014 20:45

Definitely not a stealth boast, pool is nothing special. I can promise that I have kept out of neighbor's koi pond lol, might frighten the fishes! I grew up in the US but now in UK and sense that attitudes toward such things are slightly different in UK.

When I have guests in my Lear Jet I serve caviar.

When I am alone, I don't because I don't like it.

AIBU?

picnicbasketcase · 18/07/2014 20:45

Earlier I had a shower with literally no bikini on at all, and if my neighbours have a problem with it, they should just stop peering through my windows. So there.

StillFrigginRexManningDay · 18/07/2014 20:52

Unless your fanny is sucking up the pool water like mine does in the bathBlush and depositing it on the floor of waitrose then YANBU.

SaucyJack · 18/07/2014 20:53

I don't care what you do in the privacy of your own home. I don't particularly see why you need to share it with the WWW tho.

LastTango · 18/07/2014 20:55

I say that to the guests who use the pool of our yacht when out in the middle of the med. No problems at all!

SauvignonBlanche · 18/07/2014 20:55
Confused Not just me that doesn't get it then?
SiennaBlake · 18/07/2014 20:55

Is this a bikini troll?

All her other posts are about the pool.

Odd.

StillFrigginRexManningDay · 18/07/2014 20:57

Bet its a three ring pool she gets blown up at the local garage and is sitting starkers in 4" of water.

londonrach · 18/07/2014 20:59

So....

gordyslovesheep · 18/07/2014 21:01

I'd never allow nudity in the guest pool - too unhygienic but in my personal pool it's fine - it's out by the helipad so not overlooked at all

Nevertriedapickledegg · 18/07/2014 21:04

As long as you wear goggles. Otherwise you'd just look ridiculous. And all that chlorine's not good for the eyes.
