To think that most people pee in the pool, on holiday? Do you?

[Blondiebeachbabe]

Just back from a hot holiday. Hotel had a lovely big pool, with a swim up bar serving all manner of cocktails, wine, beer etc. People would be in the pool for hours drinking, chatting etc. Surely everyone is actually peeing in the pool? And do you?

Just fucking gross. Lazy, smelly cretins. Would you get out the pool in front of everyone and pee through your bikini.

Similar to my DP’s private pool in SW France which never smells either as no one is allowed ever to pee in it. It’s saline too (no idea really why that’s better or not).

The same here.
I don’t do this at the sea either, it’s usually packed the same as swimming pool.

14% actually voted not unreasonable which is concerning...

That could just mean they agree. That they think a lot of people do, not that they do.

No way, that’s horrible op. Do you need a swim nappy ?

No but I would expect a pool to be full of bodily fluids and substances as many people don't wash properly.

Nope. I also don't use communal pools or swim up bars because people stay there all day tipping beer in their faces without getting out.

Sea yes pool no way

So you don't think the people before you pissed in pool ?

I don’t think OP said she did?

I don’t, no. I would consider it very uncivilised.

But I don’t know why everyone is going quite so bonkers about it. You know babies and toddlers are doing it. You must also know that the pool isn’t clean in any sense - people sweat, for a start, and then there’s all sorts of other oozing bodily fluids. Plus insects and the bottoms of people’s feet that have been all over the place round the pool.

I think in threads like this there’s an element of performative revulsion. Either that or people haven’t really thought a lot about the implications of, you know, living in a world with other people/animals. If you have a picnic/play in the park, you might easily be sitting where a dog crapped yesterday for example (owner picked it up but dog poo residue remains). The world is full germs, many of them worse than a bit of heavily diluted urine. I don’t want to see people peeing in the pool, but I’m happy enough to pretend it doesn’t happen and carry on swimming.

I wasn't going to burst that bubble 😅

I can honestly say hand on heart I've never pee'd in a swimming pool. Just gross!

I can't believe the amount of shock. Of course people do because they can't be arsed to get out and use the toilet. The chlorine will see to it and given the huge amount of water In a pool anyway it's hardly even there

The voice of reason!

According to this post most people go on holiday and don’t swim in the pool. I’m sorry but I just don’t believe that for one second.

They don't exist. They are a prevalent myth though: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urine-indicator_dye

Maybe all the ones who did swim in
the pool on holiday are too traumatised to talk about it now after reading your OP 😂

but seriously I didn’t swim in the pool in any of the hotels I stayed at in Vietnam last month . I just couldn’t be bothered faffing about lol I don’t think everyone uses the hotel pools or they’d be much busier.

Well that sucks!

How does this make a difference? Do you think they drain it and refill when the guests changeover? I don't.

No, we get out and use the toilet however I don’t doubt that many people do wee in the pool.

Anyone recall the poster last year who said they never use a public swimming pool because it’s disgusting to swim in other women’s vaginal discharge? Some worry about wee, this poster thinks there is vaginal discharge floating everywhere.

It's honestly never occurred to me this happened. How horrible.

And how exactly do you police that?

I can’t believe I’m the only one that admitted it.
im genuinely shocked.

Some of us are shocked that you do. Grim. Just grim.

Has this thread made you reconsider, or will you continue with your ways?
