To think you shouldn't pluck your bikini line at the pool?

Enjoying a lovely family holiday and today was greeted poolside with the sight of a woman plucking stray hairs from her bikini line with a pair of tweezers. She was not even trying to do it on the sly - legs akimbo! AIBU to think this is pretty grim and not really appropriate poolside be behaviour? Shock

Boak...and Ouch!

I've said this before on here but a woman once came and sat right next to me and the kids on a virtually empty beach, pulled out her pediegg and started giving her feet a right good seeing to. Mank!!!

Just wrong.

MandateMandy · 03/08/2017 20:52

I'm also vaguely impressed that someone plucks their pubes - mine would take a few years to get anywhere near the bikini line!! I'm a "Ach just tuck them in" kind of women.

Yep, pretty gross.
I was by the poolside at Center Parcs with a boyfriend once; I noticed he needed to cut his toenails, and told him so. He went to put his toes to his mouth to bite them short - got his foot right up in the air and literally had them to his lips before I shouted: "No! Don't do that!". He didn't seem to think anything was wrong with it.
Humilitating.

It's weird but it's hardly disgusting- they are just pubes, as someone else said.

As for 'blew away into the breeze' being gross- far more pubes floating about in the pool, I'd imagine.

I once saw a man shit on a beach in Spain.

This reminds me of a few years ago I was having a coffee in sainsbury's cafe and a man was cleaning beneath his fingernails with a fork.

Scrumpernickel · 03/08/2017 21:00

Oh emily.

As long as it wasn't your man.

MandateMandy · 03/08/2017 21:00

You win.

IAmCrazyMostOfTheTime · 03/08/2017 21:01

Nope not Benidorm, a 5 star in Cape Verde, not that that should make any difference.

We didn't stay too long so not sure how the afternoon panned out but I might glad I didn't have to see too much more.

I almost admire her for it. But not quite.

HarryBiscuit · 03/08/2017 21:03

My driving instructor used to pick stuff out from under his fingernails, just casually as I was sat next to him.

Scrumpernickel · 03/08/2017 21:04

They should knock a star off the resort for public displays of pubic deforestation.

HarryBiscuit · 03/08/2017 21:05

Maybe you should include it in your Trip Advisor review OP?

Ankleswingers · 03/08/2017 21:13

Ewwwwwwwwwwww

That's vile.

HmmShock

Flopjustwantscoffee · 03/08/2017 21:20

But surely the whole point of removing pubic hair is either because you think its presence is unsightly OR you want to fool the world into thinking you have no pubic hair beyond your bikini line. Removing it so publicly somewhat defeats the purpose surely?

SayNoToCarrots · 03/08/2017 21:22

Yes iloveruby, I remember! Clicked just to see if anyone else did!

LauderSyme · 03/08/2017 21:30

YANBU. Of course yanbu! How could you possibly be being unreasonable!?
She was an unpleasant plucker.

I know, but they're less likely to end up in anyone's ice ream or drink if they're in the pool Confused

Jesus, some people shouldn't be let loose in public. How grim Envy

Nancy91 · 03/08/2017 23:05
