I just read the posts about "MEN WEARING HATS" inside. If I'm correct 90% of the residents agree that men need to remove their dirty hats when dining because they are "sweaty and dirty". Hmmm?
Next time my grandkids are here and waiting on line to shower off before getting in the pool as they always do and they ask "Grandpa how come we shower and the older people don't"? I'll simply say, Because we are all clean and oh yes, feel free to pee in the pool it's got chemicals.
Then when we dine out I'll make sure he understands that because he has a DIRTY HEAD he can't wear his Big Bird Hat.
I'm now understanding the hanging chad issues in the past.

I think we bring with us thoughts and rules and standards from where we grew up. Where I grew up that wasn't expected. I do cringe that some people who MAY be contractors walk into pools all grimy and jump in the water. I don't like to see that, not so much that they aren't paying for amenities but because they are all yucky.
Most of us bathe or shower once a day. I go to the pool ready to meet and be close to other humans so I wouldn't go unbathed or sweaty. That is generally what appears the standard for most people I see there. A physician posted on this thread talking about the perianal area of your body not getting washed with a suit on at a pool shower. I think you are overreacting, but that is just my opinion. There are exceptions to all rules and living with other humans can be a challenging situation. I hope you are not hurt by the opinions but when you post an opinion, particularly on this forum, you are bound to get opinions back. We Seniors are full of opinions.
