Splashing people in the pool?

[bullofred]

I saw a video where a woman was posing on some pool steps, she was about knee high in the water and her friend was taking photos.

This man purposely cannonballs into the water and soaks her and she visibly pissed off. All the comments are laughing saying she deserved it, they hate influencers (no evidence she’s an influencer) and that “not all hero’s wear capes”, it’s a public pool and she should expect to get wet.

Aibu to just not find it funny?

Honestly can't believe so many women are excusing this behaviour.

Public pools are for swimming, not for posing for photoshoots. If I were ready to dive in for my swim, I’d ignore someone poncing about for instagram too, male or female (I’m female). If she didn’t want to get wet, she shouldn’t have gone to a swimming pool.

If she’s blocking the steps, how is he supposed to get into the pool?

They’re both as bad as each other.

Whilst the guy is being a knob on purpose, these Instagram posers do take the piss, how long was she stood there trying to get the perfect shoot? How many other people has she given dirty looks to if they dared to get in her way?

Just Google 'influencers in the wild' to see the stupid antics they get up to around people trying to have a meal out or enjoy their holiday, it's quite ridiculous.

I'm childish, I laughed 😂

But, if my friend was taking a photo of me by the pool and he'd done that to me, I'd STILL laugh.

No-one died. She just got wet at a swimming pool 🤷‍♂️

I agree. It's A POOL.

'Twas ever thus.

Swimming ≠ cannonballing

This is literally what happens around pools.

It's not a board room.

I would have found it funny AFTER she took her picture.

She could've been there hours posing for the 'perfect shot' and potentially blocking the steps for people getting in and out - don't want to get wet, don't be a dick around the pool

Why? Are we supposed to automatically side with other females even if we think their behaviour was wrong?

Ah, ok. Either way, the twit posing would get splashed. That’w what happens at pools, you get wet.

Yes, obviously 🤣 Drink the kool aid. Daft, isn’t it?

I see this kind of behaviour as similar to when men say to women in the street "cheer up love".

What was particularly wrong about it? She was posing ..ok, maybe a bit cringe but so what

Would he have done it to a man I wonder?

Hmmm I don't know, maybe "excuse me"?

And he dive bombed her and splashed and got a laugh. Bit cringe but you know... POOLS.

So not anything to get worked up over.

Probably.

You know, pool etc

He wasn't trying to humiliate her so much as get her to stop treating it as a photoshoot

If she'd been there ages then everyone else was probably fed up

It's not like he ran up and dumped a bucket of water on her head. He just used the pool as a pool

I find it very weird that if a woman on these boards starts a thread about how a random man tells her in the street to 'cheer up love' or 'smile' other posters are up in arms about the patriarchy and mens entitlement to think they can control a woman's public behaviour/persona.. yet this is fine....hmmm

yet this is fine....hmmm

Are they all in bathers around a you know what in those descriptions?

If there had been a togged up bloke posing for the camera ,instead of a woman it would have been equally as funny/not funny.

The " funny " is the risk factor of dangling around a pool, on the edge, doing other things and not noticing.

Whether it's ending up in the pool or being dive bombed or whatever.

This is SO overthinking though.

Do you have a link?

The culture affects everyone - it affects the kind of shit my daughters have to be surrounded by as they grow up and live with the shitty value that society places on such a vacuous existence.

So yeah, they can fuck off!
