Today, I found out that the small town I moved to to escape the crowds is actually a popular tourist spot in the summer. The majority are unbathed. I work in retail at the only convenience store, and the temperature has hit triple digits. FML
C8H18 tells us more.

OP, here. Being a small town of 200 hundred people there's really not much information when I did searches. Even the realistate agent didn't mention it. I've found that the tourists only know if it because they live in the sourrounding cities a few hours away and simply searched for lakes in the area. Unfortunately this "lake" they're vacationing to isn't really a lake. It's a man made reservoir for our drinking water. :/

A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Switch to the Celsius system, then the temperature won't hit triple digits... problem solved.

You didn't do research before you moved? Google is a great tool to look stuff up, like specific towns, tourist attractions and weather.

wait, what? They are allowed to bath in your drinking water reservoir? O_o

If they were doing that at least they would smell a little better. Currently they are taking their boats out in the water, swimming, and probably pissing in our drinking water. Nobody in charge does anything about it because they want the money from tourism.

That stinks! You ought to stop bathing to build up your own odor armor...when in Rome, etc.

Or go with Kelvin. Triple digit temperatures year round, even in Antarctica!

I grew up on a farm. The smell of 200 pigs under a hot, humid roof is so intense that the smell of funky people is laughable.

Nope. It seems my town isn't the only one with this problem then.
