Nature is healing
Today, I came home after just 3 weeks of being away. It seems like my pool now has its own mini-ecosystem. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

Sweet
Today, I returned to my sweet home after a two-month cozy vacation full of good memories, only to find that the place was sweet no more and had turned into a bug and mold-infested Petri dish uninhabitable for any living creature. FML

Today, I came home after having traveled abroad for the last two months. Before I left, I'd asked my dad to take care of my fish, and he promised they'd be safe with him. I found them all decomposing. FML

Going swimmingly
Today, I was excited to go to swim after a long time of not doing so because of Covid restrictions. After changing into my trunks and putting my goggles on, I jumped into the pool straight away, while still wearing my mask. FML

Today, after a week of severe gastroenteritis that required a hospital stay, I was finally feeling well enough to go in the pool at our holiday resort. My fiance slipped on the edge of the pool and we're back in the hospital. Happy vacation! FML
Pool-less
United States
Today, I found out that my neighbors took it upon themselves to knock down the fence we shared, and putting up a new one. Thus fencing my pool into their yard. When I asked them why, he replied, "We thought you weren't coming back." I was gone for 4 months tending to my sister with breast cancer. FML

Shower time
Today, I was swimming in my pool with my two sons. A few hours later, while on Facebook, I saw that one of them had liked a photo with the caption, "Peeing in a pool, best feeling ever." FML

There aren't pool covers in the U.S. anymore? What a darn shame...

You can't leave a pool alone for 3 weeks but a cover wouldn't help much (at least in FL in the summer. ..) and draining it is unnecessary. You just needed a pool service a couple times while you were gone. Gave you a YDI because duh.

STOP HAVING BOTH TOP COMMENTS. THATS CHEATING.

Pool covers don't stop everything from getting in. Also if the pump isn't on the water becomes stagnant which results in algae and any small bugs that have gotten in will start to breed. Also, we have a pool cover that the wind has blown off and across the garden several times. The wind was strong enough to blow a metal chair across the garden and into the pool, and we don't get anything close to a hurricane in the UK. Pools are constant maintenance and so much hassle...

My grandmother's pool had a cover and the water was black and had tadpoles in it, so that doesn't always keep stuff out...

You could study it like a gross pool scientist.

People study ecosystems for a living it's not gross, they would look at ecosystems such as ponds, forests etc. and determine biodiversity.

Just call a pool cleaning service, it's really a simple fix.

Bring out your inner child and take a butterfly net to all the frogs. Unless no one else did that and I was just a weird kid :p

Didn't cover it or drain it before leaving?
fpants2010 18
That's a lot of water to drain for just 3 weeks!

Algae is decently common...but it seems that the cover didn't do it's job...time to clean it out
persianchick 13
Well no shit, you have to drain it before you leave for 3 weeks, YDI
proudsock 17
Um that's a lot of water wasted draining it just to come home, have to refill it, readd all the necessary chemicals, and wait for it to heat back up (assuming they have a heater for their pool. some don't)

#19, "some don't"? I think its more the other way around. It costs A LOT of money to get your pool heated. I know a lot of people with pools but only one with a heated pool, and she spent a few thousand for it.

maybe you will discover a new species of something.
