    How about finding a dead body in your pool! That's what trumps both pee and dead critters. A few years ago, one of the former moderators found that her neighbor had committed suicide in her pool.

    Makes a little pee seem insignificant, doesn't it?

    Watermom wins. I never want to hear about anything worse. I don't remember that, was it posted on the forum or, hopefully, privately discussd?

    She told us privately and then much later it was mentioned on the forum as well. It happened a long time ago, Dave, before you joined the forum. Talk about an awful nightmare to have to deal with!

    And most of us are unhappy when our neighbor's trees dump stuff in our pool.
    Dumping bodies in your pool is REALLY the sign of a bad neighbor!

    Didn't really want to be reminded of that.... What a nightmare.

    I much prefer the plastic toy snake that appears "coiled and ready to strike" in my skimmer occasionally. Don't know how it gets there...

    Ha! Ask your kids or your "significant other"! (Of course, they'll all answer "Not Me!")
