Poop in the public pool

I would normally say that's all that needs to be said about that, but today "poop in the public pool" has an extra special meaning.

That's because our plumbing in on the fritz, so for a large part of the afternoon I tried really hard not to vomit while cleaning mysterious bits of this-and-that from the basement floor. Because throwing up would require a working toilet. And that's something I just didn't have.

Also, I would like to pose this question – is it The Worst to resume swimming after they discovered the poop with some doubt as to whether they really got it all, or to be swimming in said pool as the announcement is being made? Or maybe The Worst is the job of swimming 12 feet under water with a net to fish the poop from the pool.

Hmmm. Yeah... That's definitely the worst.

Kid vomit

Kid vomit, in and of itself, isn't inherently the worst. What makes it so bad is that nobody knows it's coming. Not the vomit clean-up crew. Not the people sitting within range of the vomit. Not even the vomiter.

So you end up with some nasty combination of both disgusting and shocked. Unless you have a little kids who vomits all the time. Then you have a bowl.
