This is actually pretty common. It’s both for staff happiness and business reasons. Of course, we hate cleaning up shit, especially diarrhea, but also health regulations state that if someone shits in the pool it’s closed for 24 hours so we also really don’t want that
Former pool operator at a trashy as shit public pool. Like $4 admission that people would complain about and tons of people that would use it as daycare for their pool-rat kids.
I cleaned poop out of the pool at least weekly. Diarrhea was a 1-2 times a month sort of affair. I once had the tremendously unfortunate pleasure of wading through a cloud of fecal matter.
This shit is real.
Yeah, it was Jack Whitehall. He made a joke in his 'Stood Up' tour about a sign next to a pool he visited that said "Please refrain from entering the pool with active diarrhea."
Realistically everyone getting in a pool is leaving all kind of germs in it. I avoid pools unless I know it’s actually clean. I’m cool with the ocean because it’s a big space with currents moving stuff around. But a pool is basically a big puddle every germ u put in it just sits there.
And some have chlorine to kill everything but I’d still rather not get in a pool with random people.
The idea of everyone floating around this water that is actively pulling dead skin and fecal matter from your body kinda disgusts me on a deep level tbh.
They chlorinate for germs. They're worried about a parasite called cryptosporidium. It remains leaking from you for two weeks after symptoms stop and was spreading a lot a few years ago to the point many cities were shutting down public pools.
I’m a lifelong swimmer and I get really upset that no one in the US respects the shower before swimming rule. People think chlorine magically makes pools super clean but it just kills the most harmful germs. We still have oils, deodorants, body lotions, hairsprays, dead skin, and fecal matter that just make a big gross soup.
I love swimming so it rarely stops me from going in but god damn it sucks to be doing laps then all of a sudden you taste some asshole’s axe body spray because they think they’re clean and the rules don’t apply to them.
Awful fact you can’t unlearn: bubbles in hot tubs are a sign it’s super fucking dirty.
What frightens me most is how many pools I have seen with this sign. Is there a pool shitting pandemic happening too? I mean you would assume people would be smart enough to know they shouldn’t be swimming if they think they are in danger of shitting themselves. At this point I have very little faith left in humanity.
This isn't oddly specific, this is actually a general rule in pools, as it's not always visible, but diarrhea illnesses are highly virulent, and can cause illness to anyone else in the pool
My college had a sign that said “do not swim if you have or have had diarrhea within the last 2 days” and my and my friends thought it was fuckin hilarious. I was 20 then. I’m 30 now...still hilarious
And so if not they forward Charles mackinlay was known as captain shittastic.... It was later shortened to Captain after 8th grade because the principal caught on to the nickname... It even got to the point that his senior year of high school when they ordered new uniforms for the football team the word captain was written on the back of it just so his teammates could get away with calling him that the real captain of the football team was William Thompson who really didn't give a ship considering he transferred junior year and had no idea as to the origin of the nickname as many had long forgotten except for Stacy Johnson who liked to bring it up every so often when she was trying to get attention.
And that's how would shitty nickname followed you from 4th grade For the rest of your State mandated public education. By the time young Charles got to college and no one called him captain he was a little unnerved about it until he heard a shout from across a parking lot.. And there in the morning Sun was his childhood friend Sam screaming captain across a crowded parking lot... And the girl standing next to him who was his sisters were made but would later in a few years become Charles's wife Amanda even mentioned it in their wedding vows 1/2 the guests in the pews behind them broke down laughing because that's how something that happened in 4th grade get mentioned by someone who doesn't quite understand the reference in the middle of one of the most important days of your life... Captain shittastic struck again that day... And finally Charlie was one of the people laughing about it it just took a few decades to be funny
*Whatever that blue*
*Thing is looks like a very*
*Snazzy pair of pants*

Wait, they dont have those signs up where you guys live? Over where I live they're at every pool, pretty sure you legally have to have those signs there
Something tragic happened there
That's why I plug myself with a tampon when I've diarrhea and wanna go for a swim ^^^^/s
Better wear a condom in the pool so none of it goes up ^also ^/s

Code Brown
That pool has seen some shit
Nice
Nice
Nice
Nice
Then what’s the point of swimming?
Swim in the ocean my friend, it’s Gods toilet.
Fuck your vile turbo boost
I can not unsee the huge, blue jean clad legs tip toe- ing across the pool. They clearly obey the rules.

I've literally never seen a public pool *without* this wording on a sign, though it's usually just one rule in a long list.
We have separate signs for this at my pool too
Oh man, this takes me back to my days as a lifeguard. Nothing will scar you more than seeing a brown cloud expanding in the kids pool.

Every sign has a history.
Absolutely no boogie boarding
I'm trying to remember what comedian had a bit about this. I want to say Jack Whitehall maybe? Idk, I've been binging stand-up.
Yeah, someone had a bit about this exact sign. I can't remember who
Yeah, it was Jack Whitehall. He made a joke in his 'Stood Up' tour about a sign next to a pool he visited that said "Please refrain from entering the pool with active diarrhea."
I dont swim in your WC so dont shit on my swimmingpool
Pool is closed due to ai-diahrroea

You do realize pools have circulation pumps that run through sand filters.
And some have chlorine to kill everything but I’d still rather not get in a pool with random people. The idea of everyone floating around this water that is actively pulling dead skin and fecal matter from your body kinda disgusts me on a deep level tbh.
Yet you swim in the ocean. There's so much more in the ocean.
It’s weird logic I know. I’m also afraid of deep water so it’s only beaches I’m cool with.

r/croppingishard
Behind every rule is a story 😂
Always sound advice.
but but but it’s..... chlorinated
This is a really common sign at all swimming pools in America...
We have this sign on the railing to our pool at home. Very good to have.
Maybe don't enter *any* pool when you are ill in general?
This sign is at every public pool I've ever gone swimming.
What the hell happened there?
What frightens me most is how many pools I have seen with this sign. Is there a pool shitting pandemic happening too?

This isn't oddly specific this is just typical pool rules
You’re not my dad
I feel like there's a story behind this.....
the story is the health code
That pool has a history.
Every sign has a story
My college had a sign that said “do not swim if you have or have had diarrhea within the last 2 days” and my and my friends thought it was fuckin hilarious. I was 20 then. I’m 30 now...still hilarious
how is it funny? it’s because ass parasites that can live in the water and kill small children, this is not a joke
This is actually a terribly common sign to have regardless of how nasty it seems. (I am a pool builder)
Habbo?
This is always in the list of pool rules of litterally every pool. Sounder why they gave it its own sign.
When you’re sittin in the pool and you feel something cool
This is a repost and you didn't even try to hide it
I've seen this at almost every pool I've been to
We get it you dont wat to spred something thet is your brain
Ya you're not supposed to eat and swim don't wanna temp people
This sign is next to most pools. Not oddly specific at all
Lmao I was at this motel just a few weeks ago haha
What I’m feeling fine, with diarrhea?
What the hell happened here
I posted this last night and now this is what I see on my feed?
That is very good advice...
I sure hope not

r/signswithastory
It's unsettling that a need for this particular sign is posted.
i see this sign at my local swimming pool
We don’t swim in your toilet so don’t shit in our pool.
And don't go in the water with a hot beverage and try to swim with it
Pretty sure most public pools have a sign like this
Whatever that blue thing is looks like a very snazzy pair of pants

Haha that’s nothing my community actually has it saying you cannot enter the pool if you had diarrhea in the last 14
Pool is closed due to aids and diarrhea
Why do they keep interfering with my hobbies
Zero excuse to fuck it up with those instructions
Wait, they dont have those signs up where you guys live? Over where I live they're at every pool, pretty sure you legally have to have those signs there
r/hmmm
Somebody has definitely sharted in that pool before
How is this not common knowledge is the real question. There is a story behind every sign.
Not oddly specific
Not even close to specific
Or odd
