My condo allows residents to bring guests to our pool. In the past, everyone got 2 guest passes. Various Meemaws and Peepaws complained up the chain, and now everyone gets 5 passes, which is so way over the top.
The pool is large, as is the seating area around the pool, and it can accommodate quite a few people. However, the Meemaws and Peepaws aren't bringing their old friends to the pool, they bring their fucking grandbrats.
Today I was off and went out and did errands. By 1:00, it was about 93 degrees and super humid, so I headed to the pool with my neighbor. The pool was completely overrun with brats. The shallow end had at least 15 kids in it, and some of them were swimming into the deep end (where they aren't supposed to be). They were screaming, yelling, playing Marco Polo and I swear to God, every one of them from 2 years to 10 years had on either swimmies or a life vest and goggles. Don't fucking kids learn how to swim anymore? Jesus Christ.
When I wanted to get out of the pool, I had to shoo away groups of Moos and Meemaws who congregated on the steps with toddlers - who were wearing those fucking swim diaper things.
I have absolutely fucking enraged, so I called the super. Basically, his hands are tied because the decisions come from higher up. I called the HOA board president and left a message, and then I decided - fuck it - I am calling the management company. I got some bored middle management asshole on the phone who told me that I had to wait until NEXT YEAR to attempt to overrule the new guest pass rule. They wouldn't even listen to reason - that there are too many kids for the ONE lifeguard to watch, children in diapers SHOULD NOT be in a PUBLIC pool and the increased influx of people has lead to a MESS being left in the pool area - water bottles, snack bags, ground up crackers, etc. Every chair and table that the famblees used were filthy when they left. The miserable looking lifeguard got the pleasure of scrubbing everything down with Soft Scrub and a brush. What a fucking load of bullshit.
The kids were also running in and out of the clubhouse and gym in their wet bathing suits, which isn't allowed - but who is going to listen to a 19 year old lifeguard?
I am so fucking aggravated. I LOVE the pool here, and it's literally 5 feet from my apartment. Now I get to share it with a bunch of pissing and shitting little brats, and I get the pleasure of listening to them scream while I sit on my patio.
Fuck.
