#FootFilingLadyAtThePool: A Lesson in Pool Etiquette and Hygiene 👣🏊♀️
At the public pool, there’s a set of rules that we all need to follow for the sake of hygiene and cleanliness. These rules are in place to ensure that everyone can enjoy a safe and hygienic environment. However, not everyone seems to adhere to these rules, as I learned from an encounter with the “Foot Filing Lady” at the pool recently.
##The Encounter
A few weeks ago, while I was in the shower area getting ready to hit the pool, I noticed a woman next to me filing her feet. Now, I’m all for self-care, but doing so in a public shower area where it’s not allowed is a big no-no. Politely, I informed her about the rule, hoping she just missed seeing it on the wall. To my surprise, she arrogantly smiled, acknowledged me, and continued filing her feet. Seeing that there was no staff around to enforce the rule, I decided to let it go.
Fast forward a few weeks later, I encountered the same woman again, this time in the sauna. I knew from our previous encounter that she liked to stretch out and take up a lot of space. So, I strategically positioned myself in the sauna, leaving little room for her to sprawl out comfortably. Sure enough, she tried to lie down in the middle bench, where my feet were also resting. After a brief awkward exchange, she ended up moving to the top bench, keeping her distance.
##Standoff in the Sauna
With our sauna standoff behind us, I thought that would be the end of our encounters. However, fate had other plans. A week later, I spotted her in the cubby area with her trusty foot filers. At this point, I had had enough of her blatant disregard for pool rules and etiquette. I decided to confide in a regular at the pool, a lovely woman named Karen. As I shared the “Foot Filing Lady’s” antics with Karen, she was equally appalled by her behavior.
##Karen Takes Matters Into Her Own Hands
Not one to sit back and tolerate such behavior, Karen took matters into her own hands. In a bold move, she grabbed the foot filers, marched over to the trash bin, and tossed them out. The “Foot Filing Lady” was none the wiser, and Karen made sure to handle the situation discreetly. Since that incident, the “Foot Filing Lady” has not been seen at the pool, and peace has been restored to the poolside.
##Lessons Learned
The encounter with the “Foot Filing Lady” taught me a few valuable lessons about pool etiquette and dealing with unruly behavior:
– Respect the rules: Pool rules are there for a reason, and it’s important to respect them for the well-being of everyone.
– Address issues calmly: When faced with a challenging situation, it’s best to address it calmly and assertively.
– Stand up for what’s right: Sometimes, we need to take a stand against unacceptable behavior to uphold a positive and respectful environment.
Next time you’re at the pool, remember to follow the rules, show respect to your fellow swimmers, and handle conflicts with grace and tact. Let’s keep our pool areas clean, harmonious, and enjoyable for all! 🌊👍

What a disgusting lady. Glad you punished her!
You taking up both top and middle benches is so disgustingly petty. I love it. Well done
She suffered de agony of de-feet.
You defeated your arch enemy. Nailed her good. Crushed her soul. Brought her to heel. Got her to toe the line.
*chefs kiss*!
Ewwww
This reminds me of me of a trip to one of those hot/cold sauna places.
I was there with my ex. There are signs EVERYWHERE that say “no shaving”.
We’re in the hot part and a guy walks in and starts shaving his face (sheesh!), and then drops his Speedo and starts shaving his naughty bits.
The ex loudly exclaimed “look honey it’s penis but really tiny!” The guy left.
Karen filed her file in the round file.
This sub is for petty revenge, not pedi-revenge.
This is why I come to petty revenge.
Are you sure your name isn’t Karen?
I hate these people. I was in line one time and the guy behind me started clipping his nails. 🤮
You weaponized a Karen for good!
Justice boner, thanks
Excellent and that lady is disgusting.
Did you put _your_ foot down… or hers?
I wonder if foot filing 🤮 lady’s name is Lauri. I knew a Lauri once who liked saunas, and also liked to … I can’t believe I’m not making this up… floss her teeth at restaurants while sitting with colleagues. One time a fleck of nasty-ass old food from in between her teeth came flying out and landed on my face. Seems like the same kind of person would do both disgusting things. 🤔
what are foot filers
I love this.
We have a neighbor whom we refer to as Armpit Lady, due to her propensity to sit down by the lake at the little swim beach to shave her armpits. IDK sometimes..
There was once a guy on my bus cutting his toenails (and he left them on the seat)
Eww. If people want to act like they own it and do whatever they want then they need to do it at their house, not public facilities. That’s disgusting on her end.
As someone who has had to clean up dead skin from someone’s feet… I appreciate you a lot.
My side gig is lifeguarding at a local pool and this lady had been told not to exfoliate her feet in the centre. I get sent in to give her the last warning and she walks off leaving a pile of skin on the floor. So yeah, my first moments on duty was cleaning up that. Also had a dude expose himself so the whole day was just a shit show.
