Not something you usually see here. Don't start with a possible personal attack over the mention of tattoos, my grandkids and many family members have tattoos. He was drinking from a glass container a brown liquid and SMOKING!! AT THE POOL!! When we arrived he acknowledged us, about 10 min later on his cell phone started playing Leonard Skinner at a very loud volume so he could hear while in the water. The smoking was bad enough but not being a country rock fan we left after less than 30 minutes. I assume he does not live her, he was about 30-40 years old. What is the protocol for something like this? We left primarily because I was uncomfortable and the SMOKING!! The pools and golf are about all we do. Any suggestions?
UGH! Because we are not secure here and anybody can get in. Where I lived before you had a “pod” and only could get in that way and only residents had them. So anybody can drive in here and use the pools or recreation centers. Nobody asks for the ID we have. I always carry mine and not once was I asked. And he could be visiting or a renter. Very disappointed with this! I should have looked harder before moving here. I didn’t know people rent out so much. That is why you see so many people building pools! It’s safer and cleaner. I am going to start looking for recommendations for pool. Sorry for your bad experience. Thanks for sharing.
