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

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.

Careful, next thing you know, your backyard will be home to a breed of pool monster that will invade your house.

Pools need daily attention. You should have hired someone to keep the chemical levels correct during your vacation.

Watch out for the creature from the chlorinated lagoon!

I hate when that happens! Pisses me off every time. I couldn't keep mine from getting disgusting no matter how hard I tried while I was away on vacations.

Did you try hiring a pool maintenance company to keep it clean while you were away, if you didn't then you didn't try hard enough.

My grandma's pool in FL wasn't serviced once for about 3 months because she was senile and the provider ripped her off. My brother & I must have killed over a million frogs in various stages of development as it took us a week to bring it back to a frog free usable state... You haven't lived yet and don't take you for senile, merely lazy...

When my aunt bought her home, it was previously foreclosed and the pool was black with worms and shit living in it.

Well FYL, you got a pool. In my country, you only own a pool if you earn more than average.

pools need a cover. After a few days mine would get pretty nasty if it wasn't cleaned. Too bad you didn't know
