TN-Woman gets fired for calling cops on black man for wearing socks in pool

[Danke]

...

I hope for your guests sake, that pool of yours is heavily chlorinated after your use.

This is honestly the first time I've ever heard the idea of someone wearing their socks in the pool. I've seen people wear shirts in the pool but never socks.

Yeah , they finally got Danke straightened out . He went the first time with no trunks or socks . He wears his swim trunks now .

It pays to advertise. At least in my case.

...Nah, they were singled out because he was wearing socks in the pool. Who does that and why?

Clothes washer broke?

Ya, he should have just taken the socks off. That's kinda nasty.

It would have been the easiest solution.

But instead he wanted to make a scene and have the cops come and be on the news.

Sounds like it.

...
But I've also swam at pools that said you are supposed to take a shower BEFORE and AFTER using the pool, and use proper swim attire. ...

Beat me to it. I've seen those signs too. Impossible to enforce, unless someone gets into the spa or pool obviously filthy. Like the homeless people who take advantage of public or condo/apartment pools.

What were those socks covering up?

Beat me to it.

Once saw an older woman (wrinkly, skinny, very tan) washing some kind of wound that was bleeding in a pool. It was at a nice resort in SoCal. No one said anything (at least while I was there). I had to contain myself. You would be shocked to find out how many pools are not properly chlorinated.

Proper attire means that you don't want someone wearing something that they could drown in. Non hydrophobic clothes can make swimming or life guarding much harder. Telling someone that they are going to drown in your pool because they are wearing socks could be taken wrong, I don't see how its racist unless they let people wear non swimming clothes in their pool all the time, and this is the only time they have singled somebody out. I would bet that they are just being pedantic or bureaucratic over racism though, something like that isn't worth getting fired over in this politically bent fake news cycle.

My water is perfect.

Just, btw, the main reason for the pre-dip shower is to rinse off oils and lotions that can mess up filters. I think that's kind of pointless since most people slather themselves with sunscreen before they get in.

I also wonder how many people worried about the cleanliness of a chlorinated pool go swimming in lakes. Now, that's nasty. I'll go kayaking and get on a float but I try not to get my head underwater and I won't get in if I have a sore - even a little one. I'm not sure about the big cold one's up north but the little warm ones around here are teeming with germies.

I hope he wore sunscreen. Years ago, I was laying out by the pool and Mr A was doing yard work. When he got finished, he took a dip to cool down and kicked back in the chair next to me. We were nude, btw. Anyway, he asked for my sunscreen. LOL, I don't use sunscreen. I use baby oil and iodine. I gave it to him and warned him that he shouldn't put it on - he's pasty white, like Danke. He didn't listen to me. He thought he was being funny putting that oil on his wiener. Anyway, he fell asleep and his wiener got an awful sunburn. It looked like a snake shedding when it peeled, lol.

Water Socks.

Who hasn't heard of them?

You really think a black person would be wearing those? LOL

 

[Schifference]

What were those socks covering up?

exactly what I was thinking. He might have fungus on toes and is embarrassed about his feet.

Then he should have applied for the proper permits with the property manager, to wear socks in the pool.

 

[redmed]

No clothes in da pool period.

My old Mess Sgt in the Mekong always said what does not kill you makes you stronger .

 

[Valli6]

Did he ever say why he wanted to wear his socks in the pool? or did anyone ask? Seems so strange. I wonder what his explanation was.

The only thing I can figure is he wanted to hide a disfigurement (missing toes? fake foot? a hoof?), or maybe he's diabetic? (Diabetics have to protect their feet because, for them, a minor wound can become infected and end up requiring amputation of a toe, foot or leg.)

Sounds like he's sunbathed nude before. I rarely get the chance anymore. Too many people pop by unannounced. Plus, my kids come and go unexpectedly and I don't want to traumatize them. I've already done enough damage.

Moisture wicking underwear stays dry and is not at all absorbent.

These are always a good choice. They also have an amazing PR firm

I've lost money at a gambling table, I've had best friends not show up for birthday parties, and last March I had to euthanize one of the smartest, most loyal pets I've ever had, but nothing —I say nothing— feels worse than . . .

WET SOCKS ON MY FEET.
