Teen Doesn't Want to Use Pool Because His Parents Fuck In It Too Much
LatestIf there’s one thing Reddit is good for, it’s getting answers to some of life’s most important questions. What wine goes with a nice polenta? What the fuck are cufflinks really for? How do you tell your parents politely that their fervent commitment to pool-fucking is making it hard for you to swim? WHAT IS LIFE AND HOW DO I DO IT?
Here’s the question that the aptly named THEYWONTSTOPFUCKING posted in Social Skills:
So my parents just built an in-ground pool and they wont stop having sex in it. I don’t really care that much because they do it when I’m gone or at night. but they keep trying to get me to swim in the new pool and they’re getting more and more pissed of with me because I wont swim in it. How do I tell them that I don’t want to go in the pool without having to awkwardly talk about how I know what they’re doing in the pool all the time
My first reaction was to tell this kid to say fuck it and go swimming anyway because chlorine kills bacteria and shit and if the worst you’re getting in the pool is a stray DNA particle or a floating pube stuck between your teeth, you’re already doing better than people who swim in public pools (where both kids and adults shit sometimes) or go to the water park to cool off (because I once saw a kid piss directly into the lazy river while his parents stood by, okay?). But then I pictured my own parents having sex in a pool (my mom in a conservative one-piece, my dad wearing only his jewel-encrusted Star of David around his neck) and realized that, you know, maybe this kid has a point. Maybe his parents should have a little consideration. Maybe it doesn’t matter how many actual anuses* he’s actually shared the water with before, knowing that your parents are fucking in the same water you’re supposed to swim laps in is gross. (But thank you for paying for the pool and thinking of me, mom and dad!)
The responses, of course, range from the mildly helpful “talk to them about it” to the practical “dude, that is what chlorine is for” to the most amazing thing I have read on the internet today:
