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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

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.

aren't you supposed to cover your pool when you're not using it. I don't have a pool of my own but nature is nasty #protectthepools

It probably does with all the mold spores and insects.

Couldn't you get someone like a family member or a friend to take care of it while you're gone?

Just think of how some Africans have to walk miles to get water from their nearest river to drink from water that has been messed in and peed in and you might realise your first world problem isn't quite the end of your world.

Pools are temperamental ... Much like a female with PMS

Did you know there's a way to prevent your pool from getting dirty? It's called a pool cover. I think they sell it in stores
