In the situation I described, playing the ghetto blaster loudly at an adult pool all day long, it is obviously an established routine. It happens every day and people who frequent that pool must be OK with it, or at least accept it.

Therefore it is up to me to find another quiet pool to enjoy. In no way would I ever get into confrontation mode and play music louder or ask them to turn off their music. There are enough adult pools that everyone can find one they enjoy. At our adult pool, people do laugh and play music and have fun, but it isn't obnoxious or annoying at all.

Live and let live.
